Recognize Your Greatness

In 2010, local inspirational author, Floyd Miley was at a crossroads in his life. He was a few months away from receiving his Master’s degree when he lost his management position. As the recession tightened its grip on the nation’s economy, he found himself unemployed, broke and on the verge of being homeless. Haunted by past failures, disappointments and abandoned dreams, this became the darkest moments in his life. When he stumbled across the poem, A Dream Deferred, he became inspired to pursue his dreams of being an author and motivational speaker. With his renewed passion, Floyd leaned on the winning principles he learned playing football for the University of Tennessee Volunteers.

The seven principles are compelling, proven, and designed to live a meaningful, balanced, prosperous, and joyous life.

About the Author

Overcoming life's adversities is an acquired skill that Floyd D.A. Miley, III has mastered. As a youth, he escaped becoming a victim of generational curses to earn a football scholarship to the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.

In college, he rose above life's and self-imposed challenges to start two years at defensive back for the Volunteers. He commuted two days a week from Nashville to Knoxville to earn his long awaited B.A. degree in Sociology. He received his MBA from Strayer University in 2010.

While pursuing his masters, he lost his management job sending him into a financial crisis. In what should have been one of the darkest moments in his life, Floyd accepted his purpose. As an entrepreneur, author, speaker, or mentor, Floyd has committed more than twenty years to helping others endure and overcome life's challenges. His debut book, Recognize Your Greatness inspires, empowers, and encourages others to overcome obstacles, discover their unique purpose, and operate within their inherent greatness.

Floyd is poised to become one of the most inspiring, entertaining, and engaging speakers in the country. He blends humor, charisma, and keen insight with life experiences to deliver his powerful message.
