10:00 AM:International Speaker:James Amps 111 Riding High With Corporate Sponsorship From McDonald's Personal Accountability Speaker An All-American Football and Track star while in high school, James Amps dreamed of playing college football for Notre Dame before being drafted by the NFL Dallas Cowboys. His father however thought otherwise. Fearing that his son had no strong educational goals, the elder Amps enlisted James in the U.S. Navy, where he soon learned he was not prepared for the challenges that life was ready to throw his way. One such challenge came when James, using poor judgment, believed in the wrong friends, which led to a series of events that transformed him into a doer and not a loser. Learning from that mistake, James made a conscious decision early after leaving the Navy to teach young people and grown-ups the tools they need to make responsible choices in life by developing their personal skills and abilities as opposed to becoming oppressed by negative circumstances and environments. As the 1998 Outstanding Young Man of America & the Celebrity Enterprise Speaker of the Year, and true to his promise, the dynamic James Amps inspires individuals to take responsibility for their lives and develop their personal greatness. James draws on 17 years of business experience as a sales manager, director and recruiter to teach individuals and organizations a new sense of direction, shared purpose and standards of leadership. James lectures on personal accountability, and teaches individuals to explore ways in which they can make better decisions at critical moments when tempers flare, when pride is on the line and when emotions take hold. Personal accountability replaces blame, finger pointing, victim mentality and procrastination with positive, uplifting accountable action. Because of his quick wit and dynamic delivery, James is often called upon to be the opening or closing keynote speaker at conferences, conventions, corporate training.
