From Colored School in the South to Bank President, Annella Metoyer’s story is compelling, inspiring, and full of hard-fought wisdom. Don’t miss this incredible interview! 

Annella Metoyer came from humble beginnings. Starting out in a colored school, Annella didn't quite fit in due to the color of her skin, yet when she transitioned to a white (or integrated) school, she didn't quite fit in there either. She faced daily challenges, yet remained ever curious, determined, and driven. She rose through the ranks of the banking industry to become the city president of one today's major banks. 

Her inspiring story is found in her #1 best-selling book, “Dare to be the Change”.  

Annella has a unique perspective on leadership, race, diversity, and what it takes to be successful. She says that every challenge carries within it the seeds of an advantage. She has devoted herself to sharing her story of adversity, of hope, and tackling the fear that often grips us. As a veteran of the business trenches she has a ton of life-changing insights to share. Don't miss this incredible interview where we cover leadership, coaching, communication, motivation, influence, and confidence.
