I Am/Mirror Mirror

Dr. D. F. Arnold, a native of Cleveland Ohio, is an author, consultant and motivational speaker. He provides training in leadership and motivation to a wide range of groups -- including professional athletes, executives, students and individuals across the United States. Dr. Arnold has an earned Ph. D. in Educational Administration from Washington State University. He understands success and failure. He also understands how to motivate others to achieve their dreams and discover their purpose. After getting kicked-out of two different high schools and ultimately graduating from a continuation school, his message is simple "It's not how you start, but how you finish that counts." This gifted educator works with the National Football League's Rookie Transition Program, the league's onboarding program for drafted and undrafted rookies. Dr. Arnold has been a facilitator at NCAA leadership conferences, and a panelist on discussions concerning the state of public schools.
