John Neal Jr. MS got his start teaching educational workshops. Today, he is a published author\u00a0<\/span>and is known as one of the most inspirational speakers by his audiences. As a college professor,\u00a0<\/span>John gladly serves Chemeketa Community College\u2019s diverse population. John has also made his\u00a0<\/span>mark as a football and soccer coach on and off the field, often inspiring students to realize their true potential.<\/span><\/p>\n In John\u2019s early years, he faced many obstacles and challenges; in fact, his darkest moment was\u00a0<\/span>being homeless as a teen. When his parents divorced during his adolescent years John was left to\u00a0<\/span>fend for himself and his younger brother, Anthony, which proved to be the toughest obstacle he\u00a0<\/span>has ever faced. Although John initially could not see any light at the end of the tunnel, he\u00a0<\/span>eventually had a glimpse of hope. After a year of eating from dumpsters and a lack of shelter he\u00a0<\/span>decided to take a chance and move to Oregon. There, he would eventually meet people who\u00a0<\/span>showed him the basic principles he needed to begin his life changing journey. John realized how\u00a0<\/span>important support really was in life.<\/span><\/p>\n Currently as a doctoral candidate; he is earning his degree in Organizational Leadership and\u00a0<\/span>Development at Grand Canyon University. He has earned his Master of Science Degree in Conflict\u00a0<\/span>Resolution and a Bachelor of\u00a0<\/span>Science Degree in Arts and Letters with\u00a0a Minor in Black Studies from Portland State University.\u00a0<\/span>John\u2019s diverse educational background has been instrumental in his efforts to improve the lives of\u00a0<\/span>students and others.<\/span><\/p>\n John has motivated and inspired people in many communities. His story has been\u00a0<\/span>encouraging to others, and offers an insight to overcoming adversity. John has motivated\u00a0<\/span>thousands of students in classrooms, on college campuses, sports teams, workshops and youth\u00a0<\/span>correctional facilities. He has spoken to prison inmates and at charity events. He is committed to\u00a0<\/span>reaching millions of people around the world to show them through proven principles how to\u00a0<\/span>succeed and overcome obstacles.<\/span><\/p>\n John\u2019s ability to stay focused and his drive have proved to be effective. His no-quit attitude is\u00a0<\/span>clearly evident. He is quickly making his mark on the motivational circuit; however, he and\u00a0<\/span>his team are working to take his principles and philosophies global. John\u2019s experiences, life\u00a0<\/span>lessons, education, and motivation create the right recipe for him to inspire others.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_separator color=”custom” accent_color=”#bfbfbf”][vc_empty_space height=”5px”][vc_column_text]Videos from John Neal Jr.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″]
