Management and marketing guru Stedman Graham will speak at a Bermuda International Business Association dinner in October.

Mr. Graham, who is best-known in the public eye as Oprah Winfrey?s significant other, is a motivational speaker whose mission is to help teenagers make the most of their lives.

His latest book ?Move Without the Ball? is designed to teach students that sports is a part of life, not life itself. Several of his earlier books have landed on the New York Times bestsellers list.

His clients include GlaxoSmithKline, CNN, Harvard Business School and the U.S. Department of Education.

At BIBA?s dinner on October 14, he will speak on ?Building your own Life Brand?.

Mr. Graham is a former adjunct professor at University of Illinois at Chicago where he taught a leadership course based on his Nine-Step Process.

At the Kellogg Graduate School of Management at Northwestern University, he taught a management strategy course entitled ?The Dynamics of Leadership?.

He founded and directed George Washington University?s Forum for Sport and Event Management and Marketing ? the first of its kind in the country.
