  • CEO Story: As a student in school, Reginald really work hard through trial and error into getting things right, so he learned the hard way but progressively figured it out. Prior to graduating, he was invited on a missions trip and there his gift of motivating students was really appreciated. And so he was offered the job in the institution. Fueled by his passion to help students, he made a coaching program that helped students reach their full potential. And again, he was noticed and was asked to write a book. And so he wrote the book Passing the Baton.
  • Business Service: Meet the student and the parent asking what do they need. Assess the student – ask their goals, actions/task to meet that goal. Set time management. Then Reginald is the accountability partner.
  • Secret Sauce: The ability to empower people. The level of authenticity/transparency. Pragmatism – motivating students with a basis on their practicality.
  • CEO Hack: Listening for cues from a student – body language, tone of voice, etc. Unpack it and work on it.
  • CEO Nugget: Don’t be afraid. Conquer your fear. Most of the worst you expect to happen will not happen.
  • CEO Defined: Being the captain of your ship, surrounded by great navigators. There is always wisdom you can get from everybody.
