Growing Into Leadership Roles with Emory Director of Athletics Keiko Price

On today’s episode, I’m talking to Emory University Director of Athletics Keiko Price about growing into leadership roles.

Keiko is the Athletic Director at Emory, at a time when less than 25% of all NCAA college ADs are women. Her journey started when she took time at the end of her swimming career to figure out her mission and vision. She realized she wanted to help student-athletes and took a leap of faith to become an academic advisor. As her career developed, Keiko communicated her goals to her mentors, who gave her the opportunities to take on new roles and learn skills she would need one day as an AD.

We talk about:

Why building an athletic department that reflects the student-athletes it serves is a deliberate process of reaching out to the right people for the job.How defining goals, whether personally or for an institution, helps you stay motivated when the going gets tough. Why getting a seat at the table isn’t enough for women and underrepresented minorities, and how Keiko is encouraging the next generation to speak up and make an impression.
