Speaker Bio: Barry A. Franklin, PhD, is Director of Preventive Cardiology and Cardiac Rehabilitation at Beaumont Health, Royal Oak, Michigan. He holds faculty appointments as Professor of Physiology at Wayne State University School of Medicine and Professor of Internal Medicine, Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine. In his early 30’s, Dr. Franklin intuitively embraced Peter Drucker’s recommendation that “everyone should find at least one interest outside his/her primary area and make that secondary pursuit into more than just a hobby.” For him, that secondary pursuit, the study of highly successful people in all walks of life, became a passion. Dr. Franklin took what he learned and developed a college course titled “GPS for Success,” which he taught at Central Michigan University. Since the mid-1990s, he’s participated in an escalating number of media & speaking invitations on this topic and has given success-related commencement addresses at major universities.
