  Gibson grew up in Vancouver. As a below average student, he was headed in the wrong direction with the wrong crowd. School was a daunting task that didn’t seem to provide a pathway to anything, until his high school English teacher explained the “One Degree Difference” to him. Gibson credits that teacher for a lifetime of personal and professional success.

  The One Degree Difference will clearly demonstrate the influence we all have in providing the foundation for students to compartmentalize their future and identify their unique qualities. It takes a teacher to use the One Degree Difference to bring out the One Degree Difference in their students.

  Top four advantages of the One Degree Difference

  1. Differentiate yourself from the rest.
  2. Understand the value of your personal brand.
  3. Communication techniques that instantly connects with others.
  4. The value of vision versus a strategic plan to promote creativity and innovation.
