Inspired Leadership

Learning from the Giants

In this moving and inspiring speech, DR. MYRON ROLLE offers a transformational perspective on leadership. Dr. Rolle shares stories of his childhood and how his father made him read books by strong Black men – authors like Kofi Annan, Nelson Mandela, Malcolm X, W. E. B. Du Bois, Booker T. Washington, and Ben Carson. Being exposed to these giants made a huge impression on Rolle, and he could think of himself as more than an immigrant from the Bahamas and more than a Black man without a lot of money.

Dr. Rolle then pivots to empower the audience with three strategies for becoming a true leader:

* Finding your identity – whether it’s a calling or a cause
* Loading your mind, body, and soul with direct experiences that allow you to be ready for anything
* Mobilize and act – get up and move

Dr. Rolle will uplift and empower your audience with actionable strategies for leadership.
