Kevin J Houston

Kevin J. Houston is the author of “25 Success Principles: For Creating a Totally New You”, a Life & Success Coach and Motivational Speaker.

Born and raised in Birmingham, Alabama Kevin is the youngest of two brothers and one sister. Growing up he was always a child who strived for great things in life. Kevin was a natural leader and was always helping his peers achieve greater things in life. Kevin started writing positive and motivating material as early as age 10. He would write encouraging poems and songs. Then at the age of 13, Kevin wrote and directed his first inspirational play as an assignment for his Middle school English class.

Kevin has worked in the Information Technology Support field for over 15 years, helping end-users and clients to solve their technical computer issues. Working in this field over the years has allowed Kevin to learn a lot about people, things they have going on in their lives and how it affects them day-to-day. The people that Kevin encountered in his day-to-day work and conversations all were in many different places in their lives and careers.

Kevin quickly learned the skill of having patience and the art of listening to people. While working in this career, people would often ask Kevin for his opinion or advice about a situation they were going through or dealing with at work with a co-worker or at home with family or friends.

Kevin has had conversations with people about their life and careers such as students, facility workers, managers, directors, doctors, lawyers, entertainers, high-level executives and so on. The one thing in common with all of these individuals is that they are real people with real problems no matter what level they were at in life.

Another thing Kevin learned is that people want and need to talk to someone when they are dealing with problems and going through thing, but they only want to talk to someone they have trust in and that can possible give the some good feedback and sound advice.

These different events in life are what he credits to him now wanting to write and be involved with motivating and encouraging people.

Kevin has experienced a lot throughout his life in which he feels compelled to share with others through his speaking and writing. The wisdom and knowledge he has gained through his trials and tribulations Kevin feels will help others in their lives. His goal in life is to now be a motivation and encouragement to the people that he meets.
