Jeff Johnson to Deliver the Grady Talks Opening Address Friday

Yesterday, Liz got an email from one of the senior people at Grady High School, looking for a a last minute speaker for freshman orientation day.  The email came in while she happened to be on the phone with Atlanta TV personality Jeff Johnson, who instantly said "yes" he'd do it.  She and I are pretty proud of our start up organization, Grady Talks! Have you ever been able to solve a problem that quickly?


So now, Grady Talks will be providing the motivational speaker for the new student orientation Friday August 5th, at Grady High School and I'll get to video tape this one and post in online.

Liz has a bunch of business professionals lined up to deliver talks to a class this Fall at Grady.  They will be telling stories from their work experiances and help the kid get focused on a successful career.

Interested in talking to a class of 30 high school kids about the lessons that you have learned?  I'm sure Liz would love to talk with you about it.  Say, what's the biggest lesson that you've learned while on the job?  For me, it's that if you put together a team, you have a better chance of getting what you are looking for.


Here are some excerpts from Jeff's talk  last school year:
