Keynote Speaker: Dr. Adolph Brown
Dr. Adolph Brown will present the keynote session from 8:00-9:30 AM. Dr. Brown, III, Founder, President and CEO of The Leadership and Learning Institute, has overcome an upbringing of extreme poverty and violence, welfare, fatherlessness, and a single-mother led household. Dr. Brown has become one of the world’s most popular speakers with his unique ability to inform as well as entertain.
He is famous for his practical toolkit and loved for his inspirational messages. He brings “the content and the crazy!” Dr. Brown blends humorous stories with truisms or “REAL TALK” and research to challenge his audiences to live and work more positively.
As a recognized Master Teacher, business leader, educational/clinical psychologist, anthropologist, and motivational speaker, his outrageous and energetic outlook will captivate the minute he walks onto stage. His mantra upon entering each new venue is “Learn More & Laugh Louder!”
