Hello and thank you for allowing me to introduce myself, my name is Jonathan Summers, and I am the founder of Sage Leadership Academy, a school with the mission to eradicate the state of resignation and despair in today’s Inner-City Youth, Reentry, and the less fortunate by exploiting life’s success principles, leadership skills and question thinking techniques. My belief is people are always doing the best they can with the limited awareness, knowledge, skills, information, and tools they have at that time to meet some basic need. I have made it my mandate and believe it is my life’s purpose to add value to people by increasing their awareness, knowledge, skills and provide them with the tools to not just meet a basic need but to put them on a path to self-actualization, a sense of belonging.
