Episode Description
Dr. James Kelley knows all about the proverbial “fork in the road” and making choices. With the right choice, you sail into the next situation with a sense of accomplishment. But what happens when you make a wrong choice? Does it take you out of the game, or do you just buck up and move forward in another direction? Dr. Kelley discusses not only how to get through adversity but how to grow personally and professionally because of adversity. You’ll hear about his missteps and his best steps while traveling and living all over the world, including Tokyo; exploring leadership traits with business professionals on his podcast, “Executives After Hours”; writing his book, The Crucible’s Gift: 5 Lessons from Authentic Leaders Who Thrive in Adversity; and starting his latest business, qChange.
