Coming From Behind: The Mindset of Overcoming Adversity

by Ed.D. McCurtis, Joshua D. Henson, Ph.D (Foreword)

Dr. Gabriel E. McCurtis wrote a book about lessons he learned in 1975 during the Ventura Channel League Finals while participating in the 120-yard high hurdles. During the race, he was interfered with by another competitor, which could have caused McCurtis to prematurely quit the race and change the trajectory of his life. However, through the favor of God and bulldog tenacity, young McCurtis finished his race taking first place and setting a new school record for Ventura High School. Through the lessons he learned during the race, Dr. McCurtis has applied those principles to guide him through life. Through his life’s experiences as a leader, Dr. McCurtis now champions the following transformational “I help professionals overcome unexpected career challenges to get back on track, achieve their next career goal, and equip themselves to fulfill their maximum potential.” Therefore, if you are a leader, aspiring leader, or someone that wants to improve their life’s trajectory, the information contained in the book will provide you with the leadership acumen to transform your professional career and accomplish your desired career goal(s) as you develop the mindset of an overcomer.
