Dr. Peter James

The High Performer in You: Academic Recognition Event

Sat, Sep 8, 2018 @ 11:30 am CDT - 1:00 pm CDT

| Free

Families of African American Students United for Excellence and Equity (FUSE) and the Glenbard Parent Series will host a Back to School special event and luncheon on Saturday, Sept. 8 at 11:30 a.m. in the library at Glenbard South, 23W200 Butterfield Road in Glen Ellyn.

95% of people settle for average. But as parents, are we exuding high-performance in our own lives and careers and are we setting the best example of high-performance to our young people? In this talk, Dr. Peter A. James will provide the audience with five key areas which will allow one to initiate this high-performance mindset in both their personal and professional lives moving forward. While this will benefit the leader, employee or entrepreneur, it will also provide a solid example for those who watch us the most, our young people.

Dr. Peter A. James, Professor of Business & Entrepreneurship at the College of DuPage, is also a certified business and leadership coach who focuses on helping executives and business units transform from average to high-performing. His career has taken him from an officer in the U.S. Army, to Sales & Marketing in a major pharmaceutical firm, to various entrepreneurship ventures and of course, higher education. In addition to being a certified business and leadership coach and a keynote speaker, Peter also possesses a PhD in Organizational & Management and a Masters in Business Administration. He is a certified DisC assessor and holds a credential as an Associate Certified Coach (ACC).

The mission of FUSE is to provide Glenbard families with the tools, resources and education to equip students for success. Attend all three FUSE events and be eligible to earn the 2018-19 FUSE $1000 scholarship.

Following Dr James remarks the FUSE organization invites all to join us for lunch as we recognize the academic accomplishment of many of our Glenbard students at this special family event.

Continuing professional development units are available.
