Beth Dyson
NFTE Program Director
Eastern University Graduate |
Background
Very recently I met with an extremely important figure in my life. If you do not already know, I am currently a college freshmen at Penn State University. So I am unable to be in the city as often as I would like to be. Each time I have the opportunity to come home over break I try to make it my obligation to meet with Beth Dyson to share with her some of my most prized ideas and logistic evaluations. "Beth is a certified teacher in Pennsylvania who has taught grades 5-12, most recently at Belmont Charter School. She holds an Undergraduate degree
in Elementary Education from Eastern University where she graduated with honors, and is currently working on her Master’s degree in Special Education at St. Joseph’s University"(NFTE). Beth is now program director of a city wide network for entrepreneurial instruction. Beth is an amazing person. I met her in September of 2012 through an academic event from that day she has helped me find the inner businessman within me.
Talking Business
So, long story short, I arranged a meeting with Beth over Christmas break and we sat and talked for about an hour over lunch. I described in detail my 2014 projection for my company and my brand. She brought into a lot of the ideas and also offered suggestions that would further my success as a future organizational leader. I remind Beth numerous times that when I finally deliver my speech and tell my story to the nation she would be standing beside my mother in recognition. That is how much of an impact she has made in my life over the last 2 years. So, as we talked she asked me about my blog and gained immediate interest in my ideas. She connected me with a few people in New York that specialize in marketing to help introduce a marketing campaign for my blog. Music to my ears. We moved on to other topics including talks of me possibly being the young entrepreneur of the year along with possibility of becoming the President of her organizations alumni program. To conclude this recap, Beth is soley one of the most important contributors to my success thus far, at the end of our meeting Beth concluding with this statement "You make this job worth doing Keon", I quickly humbled myself and expressed to her that I would not be possible in this current form without her contributions.
