Imagine surviving a stroke in your sleep, giving you only a 2% chance of survival, and waking up with a mission to redefine success, recovery, and resilience!
Stroke of Success™ is more than a memoir; it’s a roadmap to rethinking ambition. Roderick Jefferson, corporate executive, founder, and global keynote speaker, built a life that epitomized success until a near-fatal stroke forced him to confront the hidden costs of relentless ambition. This deeply personal account traces his climb up the corporate ladder and his journey back from adversity, blending lessons of resilience, recovery, and purpose.
Through practical strategies and powerful reflection, Roderick shows how setbacks can become stepping stones and why balance, health, and relationships are as critical as achievement.
This is more than a story. It’s a personal success accelerator!
You will explore the trade-offs of ambition, the risks of neglecting well-being, and the tools to define success without sacrificing what matters most. For executives, entrepreneurs, and anyone with big goals, Stroke of Success offers both caution and inspiration, empowering you to pursue your dreams with passion while protecting your health, happiness, and wholeness.

I called Roderick every single day when he was fighting to come back from his stroke, when the odds were stacked against him. So, when I say this book matters, it's not as a sponsor. It's as someone who watched a brother turn the worst moment of his life into a message that can save someone else's. Roderick spent his career teaching people how to win at work. Stroke of Success is him teaching us how to win at living. Read it before your body forces you to.
