His book, “Career VS Calling is a must-read for anyone with the desire to make their life at bat count. Shelton walked away from a lucrative career on Capital Hill to answer his calling to motivational speaking. “The Calvert County Women’s Initiative is honored to have Mr. Shelton come and speak to a local group of women that on many avenues can relate to career vs. calling choices they struggle with on  a daily basis”, said Sue Hu, Women’s Initiative Chairperson.
