“Real Talk!” with Adolph Brown, III

Adolph Brown, III, the master educator, author, service leadership consultant, and character education leader came to the FCCLA State Leadership Conference 2013: Mission Possible with one purpose in mind, to talk to us straight about the problems we face.

In an interview before the Opening session, Dr. Brown said that “FCCLA was his favorite national student led organization.” Dr. Brown said he wasn’t just saying this because he was here, but that “FCCLA is [his] favorite because it focuses on the family” and him being a father of 7, “family is everything.”

When asked what is the big take-away students should gain from his talk, Dr. Brown said it was “that leadership starts with personal growth. You don’t have to be the president to be a leader. You don’t need a title to lead.” We can all agree that Dr. Brown talked to us without cutting corners or smoothing anything over. With this Real Talk we can move forward to lead in our families and our communities. https://www.facebook.com/docspeaks?fref=ts Real Talk with Dr. Adolph Brown on Facebook
