Stroke of Success

Imagine surviving a stroke in your sleep, giving you only a 2% chance of survival, and waking up with a mission to redefine success, recovery, and resilience!

Stroke of Success™ tells the personal story of Roderick Jefferson, a corporate executive, start-up founder, and renowned international keynote speaker, who reveals the high-stakes world of ambition and the true costs of an all-consuming pursuit of success. Roderick's life seemed to epitomize accomplishment: he had risen through the ranks of the corporate world, gained respect on global stages, and built a life many would admire. However, in one life-altering moment, a near-fatal stroke changed the trajectory of his journey, forcing him to confront the hidden price his ambitions had exacted.

In this deeply personal and inspiring account, he recounts his intense climb up the corporate ladder, sharing the highs and lows, sacrifices, and the often invisible costs that accompany such a drive for success. More than just a memoir, Stroke of Success™ serves as a blueprint for anyone currently navigating their own journeys toward success. It illustrates that persistence and determination can be both empowering and dangerous when not balanced with self-care and mindfulness!

His journey from the depths of physical and emotional adversity back to health and purpose highlights the close link between resilience and recovery, as well as the realization of one's full potential. He shares practical strategies for navigating failures, overcoming significant setbacks, and transforming life's inevitable challenges into stepping stones toward a more fulfilling definition of success.
