Education Avenger

Brandon P. Fleming’s story of struggle, success, and service has inspired millions around the world. An at-risk youth and college dropout turned award-winning educator, Fleming is Assistant Debate Coach at Harvard University and Founder/CEO of the Harvard Diversity Project. Fleming was recruited to join the Harvard debate faculty at the age of 26. Harvard later approved Fleming’s proposal to establish a new department within the university system called the Harvard Diversity Project – an unprecedented pipeline program that the Harvard Debate Council adopted as its subsidiary. Fleming now leads an executive staff and board that has raised a million dollars to enroll over 100 students of color into Harvard’s international summer debate residency on full scholarship. Fleming recruits underserved youth with no prior debate experience who he then trains to compete against hundreds of elite debaters from over 25 different countries around the world. For three consecutive years, since the program’s inception in 2017, every cohort trained by Fleming has won the international competition, with one group achieving an unprecedented undefeated record as global champions. News of the achievement instantly went viral and broke national headlines, being featured on CNN, ESPN, Good Morning America, and many more. The organization has gained the financial backing of Fortune 100 companies such as The Coca-Cola Company, UPS, Chick-fil-A, and many more. Fleming has established a groundbreaking organization that is pipelining Black youth into Ivy League and elite colleges & universities. His students have now matriculated to Harvard, Yale, Stanford, and others alike on full scholarship. Fleming’s story, erudition, and achievements have enabled him to use his voice to inspire and impact lives in places ranging from federal prisons to global platforms such as the United Nations General Assembly. At the age of 29, Fleming was named to the Forbes 30 Under 30 list. MISEDUCATED is Fleming’s journey – in life and language – from being an at-risk youth and a college dropout to becoming an award-winning Harvard educator. The book is scheduled to be released in June of 2021.

  • The Language of Leadership

    Corporate advancement consistently relies on innovation and communication. Innovation is the creation of ideas and the execution of them, which requires critical thinking and decision-making skills. Communication determines how these innovative ideas and decisions are packaged and presented through the use of persuasive language. Both are taught through rhetoric - the art of critical thinking and effective communication.

    Rhetoric determines whether a deal is closed, whether employees buy into a vision, and whether a leader is revered or removed. It determines how workers communicate with clients. and it determines the climate & culture created by the way that workers communicate with each other. In this presentation, Fleming provides powerful tools that will help leaders, executives, and employees understand and apply the art of persuasion to accelerate ideas, drive sales, and, most of all, to win people.
