Thursday afternoon found me front row during the 2009 NCPN Conference. Stedman Graham was the opening session keynote and I should of brought a better camera!Graham is the Chairman and CEO of Graham and Associates, and author of You Can Make it Happen, A Nine Step Plan for Success.
Graham shared inspirational stories and yes, he even mentioned his relationship with Oprah.
The main portion of his presentation was about his nine step program and how it can change lives. He shared his nine steps with an eager audience.
Step 1: Find your passion
Step 2: Find strength in your identity/vision
Step 3: Have a plan
Step 4: Keep a positive attitude
Step 5: Overcome your fear
Step 6: Be willing to change
Step 7: Build Your Dream Team
Step 8: Read
Step 9: Commit to Your Vision
In conclusion, Graham shared the short inspirational book The Race, by DH Groberg, which wrapped up with the line "To me you won", his father said "You rose each time you fell"
Some times in CTE and Tech Prep we will fail, but we have to get up and press on, we have to finish the race. Our students depend on it!
