What if the greatest innovation isn’t something we build—but something we discover within ourselves?

In A Life’s Work: Learning to Overrule My Mindless Brain, local entrepreneur and visionary Shep McKenney shares a deeply personal journey of transformation. With clarity and candor, Shep explores how we can quiet the mental noise that often drives our decisions and instead lead with intention, presence, and peace.

This book is a powerful read for anyone in leadership, entrepreneurship, or personal growth—and it comes from one of our own, right here in St. Mary’s County.

 Shep McKenney’s Leadership Legacy:

• Founder of Guest Quarters, the first all-suite hotel chain in the U.S.
• Transformed Hinckley Yachts with joystick controls and jet propulsion.
• Co-founder of Seakeeper, revolutionizing the marine industry with gyroscopic stabilization.

Shep’s story is one of bold thinking, collaboration, and continuous reinvention. His book offers insights not just into his career—but into the mindset that made it all possible.

At Leadership Southern Maryland (LSM), we’re proud to highlight Shep’s work and encourage our network to explore the wisdom he offers.
