Sunburned Pigs and Other Trivia: Leadership and Sundry Thoughts

By Dr Maria M Shelton and Maria M. Shelton

Dr. Maria Shelton is an accomplished academic leader who has enjoyed a fascinating journey through life to date. Through it all, she has learned to embrace the humor that can be found in every experience, both good and bad. Dr. Shelton begins by retelling some of her most poignant life experiences from birth to present that include stories that detail the heartbreak of alcoholism, the love of family, the challenges of living with PTSD, and the long and arduous journey to earn a doctorate and ultimately professional success in the world of academia and beyond. After sharing a glimpse into her disappointments and victories, Dr. Shelton shifts from her personal story to offering thirty-plus leadership commandments that teach others how to laugh at themselves, listen more than talk, dress for success, confidently shake hands, encounter an angry person, and coach leaders. Sunburned Pigs and Other Trivia shares a retelling of one woman's journey through life and the lessons she learned while embracing both the joys and disappointments that accompanied a life well lived.
