Empowering Disadvantaged
Students to Succeed Utilizing MYSELF*

Making Youths Successful Employing Lifetime Formulas (MYSELF) is the concept of noted author and motivational speaker, Arlene T. Dyer. After a meaningful twenty year career working with the California State Employment Office assisting disadvantaged clients, welfare recipients and ex-felons, Ms. Dyer authored a series of books and sponsors empowering seminars to help disadvantaged adults successfully rejoin the work force.

Convinced it is easier to build a child than to mend an adult, Ms. Dyer is actively using her skills as a motivator, educator and post employment counselor to counteract the mounting negative situations facing youths today and equip them with skills essential for successful future employment.

At this time, Ms. Dyer has formed MYSELF, Inc., a non profit 501(c)(3) educational organization to assist disadvantaged, underachieving and at risk youth counteract the negative effects of dysfunctional family and interactions.
