On today's episode of the Dynamic Leaders Podcast, Colin is joined by Jessica Cook. Jessica is a former college softball pitcher for John Carroll University. She now works in Inside Sales for the Pittsburgh Pirates, is a public speaker, and is the author of the #1 New Release book on Amazon, Own It: Navigating The College Athlete Experience to a Successful Career and Life.
Topics include: how being a pitcher helped her learn leadership qualities and responsibilities, why it's important to have positive body language, how having "short-term memory" can help you bounce back from a bad experience or adversity, how she came up with the idea for her book and what her process was for writing it, how she got her book to #1 on the "New Releases" category of Amazon, and how her role in sales has helped develop stronger relationship-building skills.

Some of the best quotes from Jessica:
Your [positive] body language is what makes you a leader on the field.
Playing sports conditions you to deal with the pressure [of a situation].
From a mentality and skill standpoint, I was definitely prepared [for life after softball] because I was a student-athlete.
