Motivational Speaker: “Be the Coffee Bean” Damon West, Damon West LLC
Damon West uses his life story of triumph over personal adversity to demonstrate effective personal change as well as inspire organizational change and growth. “The world is a pot of boiling water. You have 3 choices. Be like the CARROT that turns soft (sad, weak). Be like the EGG that turns hard (mad, mean). Or be like the COFFEE BEAN that changes the water to COFFEE (positive). The power is inside you, not in the events happening around you. Invest in yourself and BECOME THE COFFEE BEAN.”
