Christopher D. Kolenda
Colonel, (U.S. Army, Ret.) & Founder, Strategic Leaders Academy
Topic: The ABCs of Building an Inspiring Culture®: Gaining support and accountability, even from the most challenging people
Christopher D. Kolenda, Founder of the Strategic Leaders Academy, helps CEOs lead as their best selves, build winning teams, and make the pivotal decisions that create sustainable growth. His clients, including CEOs, Cabinet level officials, and NFL teams, have grown by well over $40 million and counting.
Chris is a warrior-diplomat, combining assertiveness, statesmanship, and wisdom to help his clients gain dramatic wins. A West Point graduate, internationally renowned combat leader, and retired Army colonel, his Task Force developed a strategy that motivated a large insurgent group to switch sides, the only example in the war’s 20-year history.
Unsatisfied with the complacency in the White House, State, and the Pentagon, Chris inspired change in the military’s strategy and got Defense officials on board to push for new diplomatic initiatives. As a trusted adviser to three 4-star generals and two Secretaries of Defense, Chris became the first American to have both fought the Taliban as a commander in combat and negotiated successfully with them.
After resigning from the government, he’s brought the wisdom of warrior-diplomacy to the private sector, helping business leaders challenge conventional wisdom, imagine the future, and implement innovations that soar their businesses to new heights.
