Carrie Richert has an amazing story to share, pulling from her book "Trauma is a Catalyst." Carrie was involved in a serious car crash that left her with a traumatic brain injury. Her mother, a medical professional, stayed at Carrie's bedside for the early weeks and chronicled her status and progress. As Carrie regains consciousness and is able to return home, she continues to write and share her experiences. Carrie's background in psychology, forensics, and coaching are the foundation for synthesizing her experience and moving forward after a catastrophic incident. "Trauma is a Catalyst" is a beacon of hope and empowerment that all can learn and grow from. https://www.nomisadvisors.com/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

@1QLeadership Question: How much does an athletics director think about succession planning? Alex Ricker-Gilbert, Senior Vice President and Athletics Director at Jacksonville University, discusses hiring coaches and succession planning with Lamarr Pottinger, Director of Leadership Development with NCAA. Ricker-Gilbert has a process of identifying assistant coaches that could potentially be head coaches in the future and engaging with them regularly. He also talks about being aggressive with head coaches who show early signs of success, such as extending one Jacksonville head coach to a 10-year contract after his first year. "Will this person care more about our student-athletes as people than as athletes?" "Tell us why you want to be at our institution" "If you do a good job hiring, the rest of the leader's job is much easier." Ricker-Gilbert believes upward mobility at Jacksonville is the department's competitive advantage. - One Question Leadership Podcast - Tai M. Brown
