Presentation: "The Leader Within: Applying the Five Principles of Leadership at Home, at Work, Everywhere!"
 Today,  too many of our young people regard the words and deeds of Dr. King as folklore. A decade of achievements  that punctuate  the highs and lows of the Civil Rights movement, has  been reduced to short vignettes.   During the years since that ill-fated shot was fired from the balcony of the Lorraine Motel, all of us have been treated to 15-second sound bites that glorify the Man and his Dream, but fail to show the true legacy of his leadership: the strategies he used to open hearts and change minds).       
 
In ‘Leadership Lessons of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.,’ Renee Prewitt takes a closer look at the leadership style of Dr. King, and shares insights about  the way we can all apply his techniques to enhance our own personal and business endeavors.She looks at how he was able to keep thousands…millions of people focused on “equality for all,”…how he pushed through the resistance and turned setbacks into victories…how he communicated effectively—without PowerPoint or Facebook—to a multitude of both  supporters and detractors.
 
‘Leadership Lessons of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., will inspire you to stay the course—whatever it is—by learning how Dr. King left his mark on the world and how you can too.
