Dale Collie speaks from experience! His programs are reinforced with compelling, personal stories forged through years of corporate leadership and military service. FAST COMPANY magazine names Dale Collie as one of America’s Fast 50 innovative leaders.

His focus on the solution rather than the problem brought huge sales success in two Fortune 500 companies as well as his own business. The perseverance Dale Collie gained as a US Army Ranger and as the first amputee infantry officer to stay on active duty paid off in expanding sales geographically and competitively.

Through all of this, he learned how to motivate others and teach the specific steps needed to achieve in the face of great obstacles. Teaching as West Point polished his skills and prepared the way for later success.

In one Fortune 500 company, Dale Collie led the effort to overcome geographical and logistical obstacles to break a competitor's monopoly and eventually acquire 100% of the market. In another Fortune 500 company he used more of his military experience to fight off two off-shore attacks and grew market share from 35% to 85% in just two years.

Later, all of these skills were put to use in leading a bankrupt charity to become a $37 million operation in just seven years. The process included implementation of "lean operations principles" domestically and starting successful businesses in Eastern Europe.

Dale Collie now invests his full-time efforts in helping organizations that want to build courageous leaders and businesses. He is author of Frontline Leadership, Building Courageous Leaders, and Winning Under Fire (McGraw-Hill) which reveals how companies can use leadership and communication strategies to overcome serious obstacles involving workplace stress, competitive advances and personnel productivity situations.
