Growing Bolder TV: Keith Lee

In

Are you doing the same thing for a living that you were doing in your 20s? If you are, you’re one in a million. The better question may be how many times have you changed jobs or even careers?

It’s one thing to decide to make that choice on your own, but it’s another thing to actually do it.

It’s also something Keith Lee knows about all too well. After his professional football career ended, he had no idea what would come next. He did pretty well. He’s now the COO and vice president of the National Consortium for Academics in Sports.

He explains how he helps other former players transition from their playing days to the “real world.” Even if you’re not an athlete, he explains why making this transition is tough on people who’ve either lost their job or decide on their own to change paths. Find out why depression and the sense that you’ve lost your identity is normal.

Keith explains how to embrace that mourning period, then learn to move on with your life. Plus, find out why a support system is crucial for anyone going through this change.
