George Okantey

Originally from Ghana, West Africa, I am an activator who takes pride in making things happen by turning thoughts into action. I take psychological ownership to what I am committed to, and place a high value on honesty and loyalty. I typically study the pros and cons of a situation, access consequences of an action and act. Frankly, my motivation is not just be a number. I aspire significance. Often intrigued with the unique qualities of people and find ways to work with them productively. Primarily work at Purdue University Extension as an Economic and Community Development Educator. I am also developing an International Learning and Performance consulting company—ImpactPlus Training and Consulting. Currently president of Indiana Leadership Association. Hold a BA, in Organizational Communications and Masters in Public Affairs from the School of Public and Environmental Affairs (SPEA) Indiana University, Purdue University at Indianapolis. Married with two adult children.
