Kevin Eikenberry
Biography

Kevin Eikenberry is a world renowned leadership expert, a two-time bestselling author, speaker, consultant, trainer, coach, leader, learner, husband and father (not necessarily in that order).

Kevin is the Chief Potential Officer of The Kevin Eikenberry Group, a leadership and learning consulting company that has been helping organizations, teams and individuals reach their potential since 1993. Kevin's specialties include leadership, teams and teamwork, organizational culture, facilitating change, organizational learning and more.

He was recently named to five exclusive lists: In 2014 to Inc.com's Top 100 Leadership and Management Experts in the World and 100 Great Leadership Speakers for Your Next Conference, American Management Association's Leaders to Watch in 2015 and Top Sales World's 2015 Top Sales & Marketing Influencers, as well as the Best 50 Leadership Blog Sites from Ready to Manage.
Kevin's philosophy in business and in life is that every person and every organization have extraordinary potential. Investments of time, energy, focus and money are required for that potential to be realized. He believes learning is an active, ongoing process, not a passive, one-time event. Learning, work and life should be fun; and, if we are doing it right, work (and learning) is play.

Kevin's students and clients consistently rave about his effectiveness, many calling him "the best trainer I've ever experienced."

"Working with Kevin was a catalyst for developing and facilitating some of the best learning experiences that I have created. His dynamic presence and presentation both energized and informed the group. People left not only more knowledgeable, but more importantly, believing in themselves. They were clearly going to try out what they had learned."

The Leader as Coach

An important part of the leader’s role is to coach those they lead. Kevin will provide a clear picture of what it takes to coach successfully – including both mindsets and skill-sets.

Creating Accountability For Yourself and in Your Organization

If you are looking to create a culture of higher accountability, Kevin can provide inspiration and practical advice to help all levels of employees understand what it means, and why accountability creates success.

Employee Engagement in the Real World.

Employee engagement is the holy grail in business today – and with good reason – but too often the value is lost in the hype and the buzzwords. Let Kevin help your leaders see what it really means and how to begin creating more of it in every meeting and every interaction, every day.

Moving Past Goal Setting to Goal Achievement

Goal setting is important, but stops short. In this talk, Kevin starts with goal setting but helps your teams (or just the leaders) move past goal-setting to creating an improved likelihood that the goals set will be achieved.
