THE “I” IN TEAM
Get Quote
A bold message redefining leadership from the inside out—because great teams start with strong individuals.
as seen in:
Before I ever stepped on stage, I stood on the track as one of the fastest men in the world. As a world-class sprinter, I learned the mindset, discipline, and self-leadership required to win at the highest level. But true leadership isn’t just about performance—it’s about who you are when the pressure hits, the spotlight fades, and others are counting on you. That belief became the heartbeat of my book, The “I” in Team.
As a leadership speaker, I help organizations and teams unlock the kind of leadership that starts from within. My keynotes are high-energy and story-driven, equipping people to lead with integrity, take ownership, and build trust through action. It’s not about perfection—it’s about showing up strong, even when it’s hard.
I’ve spoken for Amazon, Kellogg’s, Discover, the NFL, and NCAA—helping leaders lead themselves first so they can lead others better.
If your team is ready to level up their leadership and impact, get started here.
