Welcome to Season 8 of Girl, Get Up: Life & Times of an Infinite Dreamer Podcast! Our premiere features Dr. Shelley Kemp, Ed.D., SHRM-SCP, a nationally recognized leadership coach, HR executive, and author of The PIVOT Principle: When Changing Directions Happens. After her son's life-altering accident in 2018, Dr. Shelley developed a transformative 25-minute daily P.I.V.O.T routine that became the foundation for helping women and workplace leaders navigate change with peace and confidence.
