DR. SHELLEY KEMP W/ LORETTA MCNARY: THE PIVOT PRINCIPLE

Join us as we welcome DR. SHELLEY KEMP in conversation with LORETTA MCNARY on MONDAY, APRIL 20 at 6:00 PM to celebrate the release of her new book THE PIVOT PRINCIPLE

ABOUT THE BOOK:

What happens when the path you were on suddenly disappears beneath your feet?

Whether it's a career shake-up, a personal shift, or a quiet inner nudge that something needs to change, The PIVOT Principle: When Changing Direction Happens is your go-to guide for navigating life's transitions with clarity, peace, and purpose.

This isn't just a playbook for surviving change-it's a strategy for living well in the midst of it. Dr. Shelley Kemp, a Memphis-based leadership coach and basketball mom who knows a thing or two about mental game-on and off the court, introduces five simple daily habits that mirror the mental focus and resilience practices of some of the world's most elite athletes.

You'll learn to:

- Pray with clarity before reacting in emotion

- Investigate what's working (and what's not)

- Visualize your next win with focus and faith

- Offer your time, talent, and energy to what truly matters

- Train daily in the direction of growth

From professionals and parents to young adults and mid-life re inventors, this book was created for anyone ready to pause, reset, and move forward without losing themselves in the process.

These habits don't require perfection-just intention.

No pressure. No panic. Just a new way to pivot.
