Today we have one of our favorite guests, returning for another
interview. Author, speaker, and consultant, Dr. James Kelley, was
born in Portland, Oregon. Following the completion of an MBA and a
year
of teaching English in Japan, James moved to Australia to pursue
his
Ph.D. in International Marketing. He is the host of the
Executives
After Hours podcast, where he states, “I care about who you
are,
not what you do. Because who you are defines what you do.”
Kelley
currently teaches at United Arab Emirates University, and resides
near
Dubai with his wife, Mary, and their four children.
We're discussing his exciting book, The Crucible's Gift, which
shares 5 Authentic lessons from leaders who thrive in
adversity. The Crucible’s Gift introduces you to lessons from
140 diverse
leaders who demonstrated the art of living more authentically.
Combining these rich, raw and insightful stories with his
knowledge
of business and psychology—as well as his candid accounts of
what
he has learned from his personal crucibles—Dr. Kelley shows how
to
transform what holds you back into traits that will propel you
forward,
encouraging you to step fully into your life.
