The Stories They Hear
Expecting Greatness as the Key to Success
By Dr. William A. Keyes IV
Winner of 6 Book Awards
Two decades of lessons, delivered in a Washington, D.C. conference room and now gathered into a single book — the stories Dr. Keyes has shared with Institute scholars as they prepared to lead.
Through the Institute for Responsible Citizenship, Dr. William A. Keyes IV has transformed the lives of hundreds of students — Rhodes Scholars, Fulbright Scholars, doctors, lawyers, professors, and community leaders. Founded in 2003, the Institute has nurtured their talents while instilling values of resilience, respect, and service.
This book offers an intimate glimpse into the Institute’s life-changing experiences. Each chapter is filled with the personal stories and lessons Dr. Keyes has shared with his scholars over two decades. Once confined to a single conference room, these stories now invite readers to learn from the guidance that has shaped generations of leaders and role models.
The Stories They Hear is written for mentors, educators, and anyone invested in helping young people unlock their potential and build a legacy that empowers the generations that follow.
