A Passion for People and a Desire to Reach for Greatness
Dion Jordan's life itself is a true testament to the power of positive thinking and infinite human potential. What began as a young man's desire to overcome his own physical and mental obstacles has grown into Jordan's lifelong mission to help people reach their highest potential and obtain their greatest goals. Dion learned how to overcome obstacles at an early age. As a child, Dion was born with "metatarsus varus" also known as false club foot (both feet facing each other). As a result, Dion had to undergo corrective surgery, which resulted in both legs being broken and re-set. Dion spent countless days re-learning how to walk and master his motor skills. If being considered handicapped wasn't trying enough, he also had a serious speech impediment. As a teenager, while other students were out at recess, Dion was left behind with a speech therapist. He had to learn how to speak in a manner that others could understand. It is here where Dion learned how to speak in a way that does not focus on getting his message out, but rather getting his message to his audience. Dion Jordan's speeches are filled with compassion for people and their struggles. It is these types of childhood memories that compel his motivation and reach for greatness.
Dion went on to graduate from Huston-Tillotson University with Honors. He received a Bachelor of Arts degree, with a major in Business Administration . Dion then went on to get a Master's degree in Education from Claremont School of Theology in Claremont, California. Today, Dion, a certified speaker, author and consultant with over twenty years of experience, is one of the nation's leading authorities in Personal Development, Menta toughness and Sucess. Dion has directly impacted the lives of thousands of people from several countries with his powerful and life changing speaking engagements, products, and live events.
Jordan's commitment to helping others reach their greatest potential is surpassed only by his passion for family as a dedicated father of two children and a loving husband to his wife Michele Jordan and his love for God.
