Episode 15: Conversations with Karen & Cat with Dr. Calvin Ellison, Author & CEO of Success Dynamics
Karen and Cat had the pleasure to speak with Dr. Calvin Ellison, Author and CEO/Founder of Success Dynamics, Inc. Dr. Ellison stopped by to tell us about the different programs that Success Dynamics, Inc is involved in. We were particularly interested in their partnership with the office of the Gwinnett County District Attorney creating the RIZER Generation Rites of Passage Program. The RIZER program is a twelve (12) week modular training program aimed at youth ages 11 to 17. The program trains young people in the areas of personal health, character development and conflict resolution.
Dr. Ellison also talks about the books that he has authored on relationships, health and his life story and which can be purchased from calvinellison.org. To learn more about the books and programs mentioned in this program go to calvinellison.org, successdynamicsinc.com or menmagnifyingmanhood.com.
Join Dr. Ellison and Success Dynamics on October 29th in Clayton County for the "Manning Up and Leading Like a Lady" seminar. More information can be found at the sites listed above.
