Select A Speaker:
  John Hope Bryant, Founder, Chairman and CEO, Operation HOPE , Best-selling author, <i>Love Leadership</i>  
    John Hope Bryant is a philanthropic entrepreneur and businessman. On January 22nd, 2008, Mr. Bryant was appointed vice-chairman of the U.S. President’s Council on Financial Literacy by U.S. President George W. Bush. Mr. Bryant also serves as chairman of the Under-Served Committee for the U.S. President’s Council.

    Mr. Bryant is the founder, chairman and chief executive officer of Operation HOPE, America’s first non-profit social investment banking organization, now operating in 51 U.S. communities and South Africa, having raised more than $400 million from the private sector to empower the poor.

    Former U.S. President Bill Clinton described Mr. Bryant in his recent bestselling book GIVING saying, “John Bryant is a 41 year-old whirlwind of ideas and action. Lean, intense, focused, and completely positive in his belief in the potential of poor people to prosper, with ‘a hand up and not a hand out.’”

    A national community leader cited by the past four sitting U.S. presidents for his work to empower low-wealth communities across America, and an active advisor to the past two U.S. presidents, John Hope Bryant is one of the most authoritative and compelling advocates for poverty eradication in America today.

    "I have watched John Hope Bryant dazzle audiences from Harvard to the World Economic Forum with his eloquence and his work in empowering the poor. Now he pours his compassion and charisma into the pages of this book, delivering a powerful message about rediscovering our humanity. Having worked his way up from the shadows of urban life to become a successful global leader, John has developed a personal philosophy that can help young leaders everywhere."

    ~ David Gergen, Professor of Public Service, Director, Center for Public Leadership Harvard Kennedy School and CNN Senior Political Analyst

Love Leadership: The New Way to Lead in a Fear-Based World
Bryant describes the current environment as wracked by fear, and fear as “the ultimate prosperity killer.” As an alternative, Bryant shares the lessons and practices of love-based leaders, and makes the case that, as unlikely as it sounds, the best way to get ahead is to figure out what you have to give to a world seemingly obsessed with only one question: “what do I get?” Love Leadership recognizes that you want to do well in life, but it also suggests that the best way to do well and to achieve true wealth over the long term is to do good, and you’ll never be wrong doing right.
