Own Who You Are

Eldridge’s presentation of “Own Who You Are” will take you into his childhood where you will see how the challenges, adversities, and tragedies he faced so publicly early on in his life shaped and took him on a journey that would land him in prison by the age of 18. You will see how he then took those same challenges, adversities and tragedies later in his life and how he shaped and leveraged them to work for him and others on the platform he has now.  In this presentation Eldridge’ will also challenge you not only to own who you are and your own story, but to also own your influence. He will also share his message that leadership is not a choice, that the only choice in leadership is how you lead not if you lead. 

Eldridge J. Broussard

Transformation—in a nutshell, that’s the core message of Eldridge J. Broussard aka Mr. Own Who You Are, International Author/Speaker of the book The Challenge to Change. 

His own transformation took him on a journey from being a ward of the State of Oregon’s foster care system, to its juvenile justice system, and to the Oregon State Correctional System, ultimately to becoming a respected community leader and business professional, sought out for his potent public presentations. 

Today, Eldridge is passionate about spreading his message of personal transformation. He especially challenges you to “Own Who You Are” while deeply exploring your relationships, starting with the most important one, the relationship with yourself. Eldridge’s compelling and practical insights empowers individuals to reach new levels of success, while equipping and inspiring individuals to make positive long-lasting character and life changes. El and his beautiful wife, Alicia, live in Portland, Oregon, with their two sons, DaLontae and EJ.

Back to Basics – Maintenance 101

Will Hays, CTL Management

Working in Property Maintenance is a challenging and rewarding career. For the new Maintenance Person, it may seem a bit overwhelming at first, especially without an experienced supervisor or mentor. From day-to-day work orders, to time management, to Turnover processes, there are countless techniques, procedures, and rules that you won’t find in any manual or guide. In this class, we’ll discuss many of these “unwritten” rules and processes. Also, we’ll address the skills required, the resources available, and a variety of techniques for the new Maintenance Technician, as well as skills for identifying many of the “trap-doors” in Property Management and how to avoid them.
