Dr. Kevin M. Jones Speaking Topics

  • Leadership: Down to Character

    What makes a leader truly effective? In Dr. Kevin M. Jones’ book, "Down to Character," the character qualities essential to answering this question are closely examined. This lecture explores the core attributes of effective leadership, including vision, emotional intelligence, communication, and adaptability. Through the analysis of historical and contemporary case studies, students will explore how strong leadership drives positive change—particularly in diverse and challenging environments—and how they can develop these critical skills themselves.

  • Jesse Owens and the 1936 Berlin Olympics: Triumph Over Ideology

    Drawing on personal experience as a former athlete and international academic travel to Germany and Poland as a graduate student at the University of Kentucky, the lecturer brings a dynamic and engaging perspective to this powerful session.

    This lecture focuses on the 1936 Berlin Olympics and the extraordinary achievements of Jesse Owens, examining how his victories challenged and dismantled Nazi ideology on a global stage. With energy and insight, the presentation explores the symbolic weight of Owens’ success in Hitler’s Germany and the striking contrast between his international acclaim and the racial discrimination he continued to face in the United States.

    Through compelling storytelling and critical analysis, this lecture highlights the enduring power of individual resistance against systemic racism, offering students a thought-provoking and inspiring exploration of history, identity, and courage.
