From small-town city boy to world traveler to corporate success story, Cornelius has overcome the odds of being “average.” Two weeks after high school, he joined the U.S. Navy, where he spent four years working in the field of communication and technology. His experience with the Navy help shaped his ability to learn quickly, adapt to any environment and be a self-starter who is driven and ambitious. After completing his military service, Cornelius began his civilian career as a software engineer. It wasn’t long before he excelled in the corporate arena. His rise as a successful IT professional exposed him to many facets of corporate America, different corporate cultures and the dynamics of being a team player and leader. Though his success as IT professional helped him develop his business acumen and grow into a sought-after technologist and leader, Cornelius was still unfulfilled, leading him to seek his life’s purpose. It wasn’t until his personal journey into the meaning of life that Cornelius found substance and purpose of his existence. His own personal development and self-awareness was an amazing journey; a journey that soon became his life’s passion: to help others realize their full potential, achieve their highest self and succeed in life. Cornelius’ passion for empowering others to pursue their dreams, follow their passion and live life without limits is seen in every speaking engagement, training seminar and coaching session he engages in.
