About Adrian

Adrian Kelly is a qualified solicitor, lecturer and lifelong learner. He researches and writes on performance, sustainable success and well-being. His aim is to shine a light on key elements of success stories which sometimes go under the radar and bring key learnings to a wider audience. In his Book the Success Complex, he explores core skills vital to overcoming challenge, using examples which range from historical figures such as Napoleon, Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King Jr to the movie stars of today. He examines how even the brightest and best can lose their way when it comes to the application of those skills. Finally, in a world of ever-increasing opportunity, he invites the reader to consider what the most important things to accomplish in life really are – they might not always be what you think.
