As a highly sought after motivational speaker for businesses, schools and other organizations, Graham has developed his own instructional programs and workshops on various topics relating to success and achievement. Using his background of 30 years of business experience and ownership, Graham helps people find new ways to differentiate them- selves and their businesses. He emphasizes the importance of self-awareness, personal per- formance, and possibilities. His programs are driven by his trade- mark Nine-Step Success Process™. Graham also educates individuals and industries on using Success Circles™, a work- life balance tool he developed to make information and experience relevant to personal, profession- al, and business growth.

He is also founder of AAD (formerly, Athletes Against Drugs), a non- profit organization that provides services to youth and has award- ed over $1.5 million in scholarships since its founding in 1985. Actively involved in education, Graham is a former adjunct pro- fessor at the Kellogg School of Business, where he taught lead- ership and marketing. He is also a former adjunct professor at the University of Illinois-Chicago and a visiting professor at var- ious universities across the country.


Graham was born on March 6, 1951 in Whitesboro, New


Jersey. He received a Bachelor's degree in Social Work from Hardin-Simmons University in 1974 and a Master's degree in Education from Ball State University in 1979. He holds an hon- orary doctorate in Humanities from Coker College, where he is also a distinguished visiting professor. He has also served in the United States Army.


In his recent diversity leadership programs, Graham warns that “most businesses are not doing enough to con- nect to the emerging mar- kets or to their diverse employees. Thus, they stand the significant chance of stagnation or reduced profitability, and the opportunity costs of poor diversity recruitment, performance and reten- tion. Today, business is more about building rela- tionships, and the work- force and culture need to reflect the buyer. If a busi- ness wants to succeed in the 21st century, it must connect with the new and changing mar- ketplace and the people who create it.”
