John Hope Bryant’s Speech Topics

  • Leadership and Relationship Building

    In leadership and relationship management, anger is not a strategy. You can lead effectively without creating a fear-based environment by being mindful of the importance of managing relationships so that even your adversaries are left with their dignity.

  • How the Poor Can Save Capitalism

    Bryant radically redefines the meaning of poverty and wealth and exposes why attempts to aid the poor so far have fallen short and offers a way forward. 

  • Financial Dignity

    Though many of us are living without it, everyone is entitled to financial literacy, access to capital and equity of opportunity
    to create a secure future and realize their aspirations.
