About Our Speaker:
Jonathan Edison, M.Ed. is the quintessential example, teacher and motivator of success-centered technologies. Jonathan provides individuals with strategies that empower them to overcome obstacles and achieve "UNSTOPPABLE" success.

Jonathan was born into poverty in Detroit, MI, fraught with urban-societal issues. He graduated from high school with a GPA of 1.63 and completed his first year of college with a GPS of only 0.86 before dropping out. Many individuals with Jonathan’s poor past academic record who grew up in similar environments, find themselves permanently relegated to states of disenfranchisement, poverty and failure, but not Jonathan Edison. After years of failure, Jonathan connected with his inner greatness and began to focus on creating success in his life. He went on to complete 4 college degrees in Education and Leadership Supervision. At age 27, Jonathan distinguished himself as the youngest Assistant Principal in the history of Detroit Public Schools.

In 2002 Jonathan was recognized as Wayne County Spokesman for Success. Motivated by the shock of a sudden lay-off of hundreds of dedicated educators, which was tantamount to corporate down sizing, Jonathan decided to take his future into his own hands.

Today Jonathan is the CEO and President of Edison Speaks International, a motivational and training Development Company dedicated to empowering others. Edison Speaks International specializes in Customer Service, Leadership Training, Change Management, Team Building, and Performance Management.
