Join Leadership Ames alumni and friends for an engaging and thought-provoking evening with Paul Shirley—former Iowa State Cyclone, professional basketball player, author, entrepreneur, and nationally recognized speaker.
Paul’s career has taken him from Hilton Coliseum to the NBA and international courts, and ultimately into the worlds of business, writing, and leadership development. Through candid storytelling and sharp insight, Paul will share lessons learned from navigating high-pressure environments, building resilience, leading through uncertainty, and redefining success beyond the scoreboard.
This event offers a unique opportunity for Leadership Ames alumni to reconnect with classmates, expand your professional network, and gain fresh perspectives on leadership, adaptability, and purpose—from someone who has experienced leadership at every level.
Whether you’re leading a team, building a business, or looking to grow personally and professionally, this conversation promises inspiration, humor, and practical takeaways you can apply immediately.
For any questions, please contact Jan Williams at [email protected].
