Captain Scott Kelly
Captain Scott Kelly
History-making NASA astronaut; Real-life hero whose bestselling memoir was optioned for a major motion picture by Sony
- The Sky Is Not the Limit
- During his record-breaking Year in Space, U.S. astronaut Scott Kelly captivated the world while laying the groundwork for the future of space travel and exploration. And while science was at the core of Kelly’s groundbreaking expedition, it is his life lessons and personal stories from 229 miles above Earth—and the path that led him there—that offer unique perspective on embracing risk and discovering one’s true potential to achieve the impossible. Drawing from his epic life journey and the extraordinary experience of living in isolation for a year, Kelly provides invaluable lessons in leadership and teamwork, as well as strategies for managing anxiety and stress in uncertain times. An American hero whose contribution to humanity is as far-reaching as his story, Captain Kelly is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit.
- Failure IS an Option: Transforming Setbacks into Success
- Although the world knows Captain Scott Kelly as the history-making, record-breaking U.S. astronaut who successfully completed a year in space, he’s grappled with plenty of failure in his life. By embracing failure, however, he unlocked repeated success. Captain Kelly shares candid, inspiring, and often hilarious stories from his own epic life journey, as well as vivid examples of groundbreakers ranging from Albert Einstein to Elon Musk. He provides audiences with compelling insights on how failure is an essential step in the process of achieving lasting resilience, and continuous personal and professional growth. He reveals how organizations that recognize and embrace failure as part of their process create a culture where employees and teams can bring their best ideas — allowing them to think differently, be more inventive, and discover remarkably innovative solutions. By confronting our setbacks and allowing ourselves to “fail forward,” we unlock deeper strengths and gain powerful new focus on our individual and team goals.
