Keynote & Speaker Program

CHESS GAME OF LIFE

 

In just an hour, Jennifer "Jaki" Johnson will take you on an interesting journey down a bumpy road as she shares her amazing and sometimes funny story. She will share unbelievable times of her life such as having to take the train to interview R&B artist Chris Brown, to getting a round trip plane ticket from a complete stranger to LA to cover the BET awards on the red carpet and meeting the author Christopher Gardner of the 2006 autobiography/movie starring Will Smith, "The Pursuit of Happiness".

 

She understands what it is to start from the bottom and then start all over again. She knows all about feeling stuck and the pressure that comes with making important strategic decisions and sometimes not making the right ones, but then eventually making great ones! Jaki knows that there is power in ones life story, that you can use your past as leverage to make your future greater! Through her story she encourages others and makes it clear that with an optimistic attitude even our mistakes can become opportunities.

 

 

WHAT LEADERS ON THE RISE LEARN FROM MY STORY:

 

  • How to navigate through the hurdles and roadblocks of life

  • Turn opposition into opportunity

  • Use the past as leverage

  • Use the power of your own potential

  • Think strategically

  • Building blocks to being a leader
