Drawing from his own experiences of rural childhood poverty in Texas, to
prominent roles as a government official, and now as an acclaimed
educational leader, Dr. Ivery demonstrates his motivational gifts, as he
seeks to inspire young men to live lives of purpose and integrity.
A father and grandfather, Dr. Ivery's words are presented as a personal
conversation with a young man, inviting him to stop for a moment and
think about the path his life is taking, where he'd like it to lead, and
how best to get there. Whether it's navigating the ups and downs of
friendships and relationships; how to manage difficult emotions like
frustration, anger or disappointment; or how to navigate challenges with
self-confidence and control to achieve success, Dr. Ivery brings
time-tested wisdom to the table. His voice is clear and direct, but more
importantly--compassionate. He understands the struggles of young men
and rises admirably to the challenge of communicating to their hearts.
