The 50 cups of coffee challenge | Bobby Audley | TEDxPSUErie

Bobby Audley is a leadership speaker and team building facilitator who challenges young students and young professionals to have 50 cups of coffee in 2016. As an entrepreneur in his late twenties, he says he owes much of his early success to "grabbing coffee" with his network. He came to learn that “May we grab a cup of coffee?” is not only less threatening than “May I pick your brain” BUT it is more welcomed and usually enjoyed by all. By simply grabbing coffee and connecting he found his first three “real jobs," he found the mentor who helped him quit his full-time job and start his first successful business, and he has been invited to plan events with an Oxford educated politician, met a billionaire, and has shared countless conversations with fascinating people.

Bobby Audley has worked with thousands of students and professionals across the country as a speaker, teambuilding facilitator, and trainer. Bobby began his career working in higher education as an Orientation and Leadership Specialist, and spent 3 years working for Project Ascent. In January 2016 Bobby gave his first TEDx talk titled, “Why You Shouldn’t Do Your Best.” He is active in his local business community serving as the coordinator of a non-profit Entrepreneur Center, and he is an active member of his alma mater’s Alumni Board.

Bobby Audley great Tedx. The positive energy during your speech empowers, reminding of the importance of connecting though conversation. Connecting with others helps identifying individuals who can help you attain goals. It helps identify who you can mentor with life experiences and insight, allowing barriers to be removed. It creates positive energy, which propels humanity on. I have attended Heart of a Leader training. It empowers creating great teams. Thank you for positive energy that propels onward and upward. It allows to tap into the heart and soul, bringing an amazing gift to the world, making it a better place.
