Meet Don Barefield
“I’ll move to Miami and teach high school math if you give me the toughest school you have” Don told the Director of Human Resources for Miami-Dade County schools. Later that day, he was hired to teach mathematics in Liberty City in one of America’s toughest schools.
Now, Don, an award winning, highly sought after motivational speaker and trainer, travels the country inspiring educators with his high energy, keep-you-on-the-edge-of-your-seat style and insights into the power of love. Stories of teaching in Liberty City in Miami, inner city Atlanta, his time as president of an Atlanta company that grew over 100% a year for 5 consecutive years and insight into the fundamental principles of relationships create an experience you will never forget!
