At 89, he is actively engaging teenagers and college students—not lecturing, but offering guidance from a lived roadmap for life. A bit about Ed: his first book, an engaging memoir -  The Road Less Traveled: An Unlikely Journey From The Orphanage To The Boardroom -  shares at the age of 3, Ed Hajim was kidnapped by his father, driven cross-country, and told his mother is dead. Then he was abandoned, raised in orphanages and foster homes. Ed overcame extraordinary adversity to build a life that embodies the American Dream: University of Rochester, Navy service, Harvard Business School, leadership at the highest levels of Wall Street, Horatio Alger Award recipient, founder of the Nantucket Golf Club, married to his wife Barbara for 60 years and has three grown children and is a proud grandfather. His next book focuses on The Ed Hajim Four Ps: Passions, Principles, Partners and Plans. As Ed explains, these have been the constants in his life, his inner voice to make decisions that match his hopes and execute ideas to get to his goals – and he shares them in his follow-up book THE ISLAND OF THE FOUR Ps: A Modern Fable about Preparing for Your Future  - Plus, the Ed Hajim Life Design Course now beginning to be used on campuses across the country, Ed helps young people identify their passions, principles, partners and plans —and shows them how to design a life with intention using a roadmap for life. Here’s a video to enjoy and hear from Ed directly!
In an era defined by uncertainty and anxiety about the future, Ed Hajim offers clarity, perspective and proof that where you start does not determine where you finish.
