Who:       International Chess Champion Orrin Hudson and Media                      Consultant, Psychologist, and Author, Dr. Erik Fisher, aka Dr. E…

Master Motivator through Chess, Orrin “Checkmate” Hudson, and Expert Emotional Educator, Dr. E…, Erik Fisher,  the Ebony and Ivory of Personal Empowerment are teaming up to help tweens and teens find their way in life by connecting the game of Chess with the “games” of life and emotion. Winning at both chess and life takes experience to learn, that few people master, and navigating the chess board and emotional landscape of life can seem almost impossible when we feel outmatched and outwitted. With simple tips and tricks from Orrin and Dr. E…, they hope to provide participants some skills to take home with them to help them feel empowered and more successful in the game of life. Moms and Dads may want to attend too.

Dr. E… will answer these important questions:

  • Why do Good, Strong, Right, and Win cripple us.
  • Why do Victims have the most power?
  • Could every emotion possibly have a positive purpose?
  • Is it possible for everyone to win?

Both Orrin’s and Dr. E…’s work has been featured on networks such as, CNN, NBC, FOX, ABC and both have been covered in print outlets across North America. Dr. E… appears monthly on Good Day Atlanta, providing his unique insights on parenting and families. Orrin appeared on the cover of December’s Chess Life magazine, and has been featured on CNN, FOX, CBS, ABC, and in USA Today, Sports Illustrated for Kids, and People Magazine.

 

Promoting Peace, Positivity and Purpose  

 

Orrin Hudson says: “We must give our young people hope.” When they lose hope, we all lose. Many young people do not know what it means to believe in themselves. They have never been taught that they can achieve or succeed. I know firsthand what it’s like. I am a former gang member from Birmingham’s housing projects. I share

d a small home with six brothers and six sisters. You do the math. I came through! Now, it’s my turn to help.

Dr. E… teaches that life can happen FOR us, not TO us, and it is critical for kids, teens, and young adults to find ways to empower themselves rather than believing that others control their destiny. The way to our personal empowerment is through understanding that every emotion has a positive purpose. Everyone deserves the opportunity to make their life impactful, and developing better problem solving skills and understanding the emotional world around is a great start.

How can we stop the cycle of defeatism and teach our young people that they matter? We do it one person at a time.

 

About the Presenters:

CoverChess FrontOrrin C. Hudson (the “C” is for Checkmate!) is the founder of the non-profit “Be Someone, Inc.,” based in Atlanta. Teens learn to reach for a bishop, a knight, or a pawn, instead of a gun, a knife or a drug. Since 2001, “Be Someone” has used chess to bring 40,000 students the life-affirming message of “Peace, Positivity, and Purpose.” Hudson won’t stop until he’s reached at least one million students. Hudson is creating a new currency called KASH (Knowledge, Attitude, Skills, and Habits) in order to change     lives for the better. Brains BEFORE Bullets.
