Ken Schmitt is the Founder and CEO of TurningPoint Executive Search, one of America's leading boutique recruiting firms. He has authored two books. In his latest, The Practical Optimist: An Entrepreneurial Journey Through Life's Turning Points, he pulls back the curtain on the many life-changing challenges he's faced as a business leader to reveal what's worked for him - and what hasn't. In this heartfelt and often hilarious book, Ken shares his story of how he coped with his most difficult personal and professional crises. Through Ken’s frank accounts, you discover strategies that will empower you to view life through a new lens and be proactive when trouble strikes. Inspired by the book, Ken hosts the podcast "The Practical Optimist". Twice a month, you can join Ken and his guests for real conversations about the intersection of leadership and life. In each episode, you will hear candid, inspiring conversations with regular people who are industry leaders. We’ll talk about the decisions they’ve made – both good and bad – and the various turning points that made them the leader and the human being they are today. This isn’t theoretical advice. This is straight talk from leaders who have been there.
