Bryant Speaks

John Hope Bryant speaks before the Rumi Forum, Washington, D.C.

I was honored and pleased to speak before the Rumi Forum in Washington, D.C. last week, on my new bestselling business book LOVE LEADERSHIP: The New Way to Lead in a Fear-Based World (Jossey-Bass), and my vision for our world post economic recession, or RESET as I like to say.  Listen to the Podcast here.

Bryant Speaks on Love Leadership, Operation HOPE and the what comes next post global economic crisis

These are busy times for Operation HOPE, Love Leadership (The New Way to Lead in a Fear-Based World) and the silver rights movement.  Given the state of our nation and our world, if our agenda is not going to be relevant now, it never will be.  Here is what's happening today and around the corner:

Speaking this evening before the University of Michigan Black Business Association, at the Ross Business School, for their Alfred L. Edwards Conference, in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Book signing to follow.

Joining my friend and HOPE Partner Jim Clifton, chairman and CEO of Gallup, and partner in the Gallup-Operation HOPE Financial Literacy Index, on Monday evening for a "Conversation on Leadership" around "American Strategy to Rewin the World," at the New Commerce Club in downtown Atlanta, Georgia.

Speaking November 30th at the iconic Hue-Man Bookstore & Cafe in Harlem, New York.  Book signing to follow.

Okay, let's go....

 

A Day of HOPE with Andrew Young

God is good... It is with great personal enthusiam, and personal pride, that I announce that a date has been selected (April 12th, 2005) for what we at Operation HOPE are calling "A Day of HOPE with Andrew Young."

A Day of HOPE with Andrew Young will celebrate the new partnership and active collaboration between Operation HOPE, myself, Andrew "Bo" Young, III, and the legendary Ambassador Andrew Young. On this day, in Atlanta, Georgia, we will announce the commitment of Ambassador Young  to become the national spokesman for Operation HOPE, and as well, on the same day, Ambassador Young and I will enter the Jean Childs Young Middle School, named after his late wife, and jointly co-teach a Banking on Our Future financial literacy course before the national media and assembled guests.

Immediately following the teaching session we plan to hold a press conference where we hope to announce a citywide partnership in Atlanta, with Atlanta Public Schools, to educate "every middle school age, low wealth child in Atlanta" in financial literacy over five years. I should also note that it is because of the leadership of both Georgia Insurance, Fire and Safety Commissioner John Oxendine, and California State Insurance Commissioner John Garamendi, that we are even in Atlanta, Georgia, teaching financial literacy. Thank you friends!

In the early afternoon Ambassador Young and I will co-host a number of local, state and national VIPs in Atlanta, on April 12th, 2005, during Financial Literacy Month, for a special forum entitled "From Civil Rights to Silver Rights, the Dawning of a New Movement in America."  We plan to end this exciting Day of HOPE with a closing reception at the Andrew Young School of .Public Policy at Georgia State University. We will also participate in the formal unveiling of the new Andrew Young School of Public Policy building during the week's activities of April 12th-14th, 2005. For more information or to RSVP for A Day of HOPE with Andrew Young please contact my chief of staff at Operation HOPE, Rachael Doff, at this email address.  See you there!  I will be posting more information on this exciting landmark event as we get closer to the date.

With HOPE.
