Washington, DC-MD-VA-WV (1888PressRelease)
May 09, 2009 - Gary Levy was highlighted yesterday in the Washington Post in both the print and online editions. His photo was prominently displayed in the article, "College-School Partnerships Offer Head Start on Higher Education" written by Maria Glod, a Washington Post Staff Writer.
Gary started speaking at local area high schools in 1987 when his daughter was a junior in high school. His daughter mentioned that parents were invited to come to school and speak about their professions to the students. She informed him that he couldn’t be included because his job as an automobile salesman was not a true profession. This started years of giving by Gary to local students in the form of motivational speaking. Ever since his daughter told him he couldn’t do it, he’s been giving professional motivational speeches at four or five high schools in the local area a month. His speeches include information on entry into business and the professional environment. He covers business in general, the automotive business, first impressions, commissions, pay plans, how to get a job, the importance of eye contact and many other important topics.
He appeared in the Washington Post article by chance. He was in the middle of a speech at the high school when the principal arrived with a reporter and photographer to work on the article. The photographer immediately started taking pictures of Gary in the middle of his speech.
"Guest speaker Gary Levy of EuroMotorcars tries to engage Jennifer Hance in a college business class at Gaithersburg High. Nearly 430 Montgomery County students are in Montgomery College classes offered in high schools. "
