Episode 57 -- Dr. Debbie Murray -- Seize the Opportunities

Make a difference in your part of the world.Titles don’t make this lady who she is as you’ll quickly learn in this episode. Dr. Debbie Murray is an amazingly energetic person. She is a giver—in her career she felt lucky to be in positions to be able to give back. Being good in something and being passionate about it are different elements and she definitely found places to put her skills in the world of extension services and in her family life. Social justice, serving all people and focusing on the needs of the community rank high on her list for job satisfaction. Advice? Follow your passions and be willing to change as you develop your skill set. She was a freshman in high school before someone told her that she was smart and that moment…that encouragement…changed her. We talk about situational leadership and so much more concerning career, family and life in general. You will love meeting Debbie and feel challenged to live life fully to make a difference. Her perspective solidifies her faith in the future as she interacted with students on two of our nation’s campuses — the University of Georgia (UGA) and the University of Kentucky (UK) — the bright young people are diverse in thought, degrees and have a willingness to do for others.Song "STOMP" used by permission of Donica Knight Holdman and Jim HuffMusic "STOMP" used by permission of artist Donica Knight Holdman and Jim Huff
