Purpose, Passion, Possibilities

These are the guiding principles that define my life’s work. I am Dr. Kaye Manson Jeter, an author, speaker, consultant, and educator with a passion for helping others navigate life's transitions—whether in retirement, writing and publishing, or spiritual growth. My journey has taken me from humble beginnings in Dayton, Ohio, to becoming a recognized expert in education, publishing, and personal development.

With a Ph.D. and J.D., I have served as a college professor, a dean in higher education, and a senior fellow for initiatives supporting underserved communities. My career has been dedicated to empowering others—whether guiding students, helping writers bring their stories to life, or inspiring retirees to embrace new beginnings.

As a motivational speaker and consultant, I focus on helping retired and retiring professionals transition into fulfilling new roles. My book Transitioning to Retirement: You Can’t Ride a Camel for the Rest of Your Life provides a roadmap for navigating this major life shift with confidence. Through my publishing coaching program, "Stuck to Published Success," I equip aspiring authors with the tools to move from idea to finished book, breaking through barriers that keep them stuck.

My faith-based writing offers encouragement and spiritual insight, including my books Faith Reclaimed: Finding Peace and Hope in God’s Promises and Faith’s Turnaround: Finding Strength in Scripture. I am also deeply committed to educating the next generation of believers through children’s books that make biblical truths engaging and accessible.

At the heart of everything I do is a desire to serve others—to inspire, educate, and uplift. Whether you are a writer seeking guidance, a retiree searching for purpose, or someone looking for faith-based encouragement, I invite you to join me on this journey of growth and transformation.
