In this episode Odis Bellinger shares the root issue that holds most men back and rarely gets addressed. Why having a vision for your life is critical. The negative effects of growing up fatherless and how to counteract it and so much more.
Odis Bellinger is the founder and director of Building Better Men and has more than 20 years of hands on experience in mentoring and counseling. He’s earned his position as strategist, speaker, coach and father figure. No matter what role he’s in, his goal is simple, to empower boys by creating thought provoking programs that instill leadership qualities.
Growing up fatherless is a struggle far too many of our young boys and girls face today. Angry, resentful, confused, uncertain and often unmotivated, the youth of Metro Detroit are desperate for guidance. Odis Bellinger was once one of those children. He credits his success to two people who refused to give up on him, no matter how hard he pushed them away. Now a successful author, community leader and motivational speaker, Bellinger continues to ask one question: “How do I Build a Better Man?”.
Odis is the Director/Founder of the Building Better Men Program, an organization that seeks out males ages 8-17 to bring value and positive change one young man at a time. It is Bellinger’s hope that by changing the life of one, he will change the lives of many.
He has completed extensive research on conflict resolution, violence prevention techniques and socio-economic issues affecting youth and young adults, primarily African-American males. He conducts workshops and trainings focusing primarily on building African American male development and leadership skills. He has been recognized by local and national media outlets for his efforts related to his community work within the urban community. Most recently, he was awarded the 2017 Detroit News Michiganian of the Year honor for his long-time community involvement.
