THE OVERCOMERS - Episode 9, Sean Kelley - Surviving a Broken Family, Military Deployments & Covid19
Our guest for today’s THE OVERCOMERS episode is Sean Kelley!
Coming from a broken family with step-parents and step-siblings from both sides of the family and growing up financially strained, he then signed up for the military and experienced 2 years of combat zone military deployments.
These are some of the difficulties he had to overcome before he was affected by the economic crash of 2009. And later on, he was struck by Covid-19 which almost took his life.
After leaving the US Army Special Operations as a Non-Commissioned Officer, Sean Kelley applied the leadership principles he learned to automotive management and successfully led car dealerships for over a decade.
After surviving severe covid pneumonia, Sean’s most recent globally published book, “The Visitor”, hit #1 on Amazons Best Seller List and was published.
Sean launched a non-profit called Cards for COVID, cards4covid.org, which supports hundreds of medical professionals and COVID patients in multiple States.
Sean’s passion for people development and ability to coach led him to grow from General Sales Manager to Chief Business Development Officer of a multi-million-dollar CRM software company.
Now, as CEO of Car Motivators, and founder of Market Motivators, Sean and his team work with dozens of car dealerships, technology companies, Fortune 500 companies, start-ups, and hundreds of coaching clients across the country to help them achieve their biggest goals.
Sean helps his clients grow with a no-bull approach and teaches them the ability to improve communication follow-through and continuous improvement. As such, Sean’s clients consistently set sales records, and eliminate employee turnover, all while increasing gross and net profit.
More importantly, Sean and his team help the managers throughout the businesses they coach enjoy their role by helping them grow as leaders.
