Let's start Building Your

“Inspiring, captivating and engaging were just some of the words my team used to describe guest speaker Mr. Colby Jenkins. Colby spoke at our Program Management Offsite that was focused on Leadership and Managing Change. Managing change is sometimes difficult. Colby taught us the importance of humility and second chances. As project leaders we want to foster this type of work atmosphere within our teams. The program managers are now quoting Colby in our meetings and communications. For example, “we want to be Leaders not Mascots,” and, “we want to build a management team that is a Lighthouse to the organization. After the presentation we committed to goals on becoming an A-Team. We even changed our slack channel to ‘The A-Team.’ Thank you Colby for inspiring my team to have a new focus on becoming great leaders.”

“Colby’s message to our team was timely, inspiring, and left us with a wealth of actionable insights into ways we can build our “A-Team.” Throughout the preparation process leading up to his event, Colby leveraged his impressive background and authentic, thoughtful personality to customize his presentation to address some organizational specific topics. Colby spoke to us virtually and was extremely engaging. Our team had nothing but positive feedback and frequently referenced inspirations from his talk. As we continue to lead through change as an organization, we are deeply grateful for Colby being the Lighthouse.”

“Thank you Colby for coming in to speak with my team. Your real life experiences resonated and motivated everyone in the room. Be the best you. Believe in yourself. Ask for help. Quit tomorrow. Are all things I will take with me everyday to work. I highly recommend Colby to anyone who is looking for inspiration they can bring into the workplace and in life.”

“Thank you, Colby, for addressing the Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce membership. Your messages on leadership and building your A-Team- especially during these challenging times – were spot on. Our members were inspired, motivated and entertained all at the same time and my own team walked away with elevated ways of approaching challenges. I look forward to having you address our members again!”

“Colby Jenkins’ message on leadership and building your A-team in unconventional circumstances is spot on. He gets it. The principles shared through his military experiences will help in both your personal and professional life. He understands what makes a true leader.”

“Your presentation and definition of what it means to be a true leader, an encouraging team member and why it’s important to persevere and establish milestones for success in large missions (whether in combat or the corporate world) were incredibly inspiring and empowering. Several members of the team shared that your presentation was not only a great use of time but one of the best presentations they have sat in on for some time and overall inspiring. Thank you again for an uplifting and real talk.”

“Our students learned so much from Colby’s experiences and will be better leaders of tomorrow because of his willingness to share his story. Despite the depth and magnanimity of his accomplishments and experience, he speaks from a position of humility and authenticity that inspires us to be better versions of ourselves. From the businessman working in a corporate environment, to the college student aspiring to be a commissioned officer, Colby’s ideas on leadership can dramatically elevate the way we think, approach our problems, and achieve our success.”

“Thank you, Colby. What a special presentation! The response from our team was overwhelmingly positive and the discussion continued long after you left. Your ability to translate your leadership experiences on the battlefield into practical lessons for life and business is nothing short of amazing. I’ll forever remind my teammates to, “be the lighthouse.”

“Colby’s presentation is inspiring and powerful! He tailors it to his audience and feeds them exactly what they need and hunger for. He is a master of motivation and life improvement skills.”

“Inspiring, engaging, and educational! Colby hit the center of the bull’s eye in his presentation to the Texas A&M Corps of Cadets on “How to Build Your A-Team.” He masterfully provided the cadets practical and relevant ways to improve their career readiness and life skills that are not only relevant today, but also in the future. He earned an A++!”

“Colby is an excellent speaker and he proved it at multiple Google events. His presentation inspired me and his ‘be that lighthouse’ concept helped me to improve my skills and become a better leader!”

“We invited Colby to deliver our keynote to 600 youth and leaders in the mountains of central Arizona. The evening’s setting was a cold clear night, a blazing fire, a large USA flag on one side and white projection screen on the other side. Colby’s presentation was riveting and the boys and leaders were moved by the stories, video clips, and the way Colby brought the boys to realize their sense of duty.”

“Colby’s presentation is outstanding! We were so fortunate to have him speak to our high school student body on his leadership principles. Colby’s real life leadership experiences, mixed with his down-to-earth approach, allows for a captivating presentation. He inspired our students and staff to ‘be the lighthouse,’ and work hard at building meaningful relationships within our own lives. Whether it is a large audience or a small leadership group his principles are concepts we can all apply to make ourselves and those around us better.”

“Thank you so much for giving such an engaging and inspiring presentation on Leadership and building your “A-team.” We sincerely appreciate the time you spent with us and in fact referenced your presentation/lessons learned several times throughout our Offsite. Thanks again!”

“Colby Jenkins is a proven leader in the military, government and business. He shares his experience in a captivating message that every organization needs to hear. Inspiring, motivational, and practical, everyone, regardless of position in the organization, can come away with ideas of how to help create a better “A-Team.”

“I attended Colby’s talk at a conference in Singapore. It’s not often we come across people with such diverse experiences. I must say I was very impressed not just with what he has achieved, but also how he could relate to the learnings and translate it for business program managers. He very nicely lays out the skills that help a leader in building an A-Team.”

“I wanted to thank you for the message you shared with the athletic department. I think the entire U.S. needs to hear you speak. I sometimes think we would all be better people if we had to be on a football team or Ranger team together.”

“Colby, thank you again for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come spend with us. Your presentation was spot on. Meaningful, impactful, authentic and heartfelt. It was truly an honor to have you here. Thank you.”

“Colby’s message was right on target in helping my leaders build their own A-teams. We have an organization full of people with unique and diverse expertise. Colby helped us gain new ideas on how to build individual expertise into a united team effort. I recommended Colby to my peers as I see his message beneficial to so many others.”

“Colby Jenkins is an outstanding motivational speaker. It is rare to find a speaker with the speaking presence, an amazing inspirational personal story, and the structured approach to defining and developing leadership skills. Our entire leadership team enjoyed being present for Colby’s leadership session, and I would highly recommend him to any organization seeking to further develop their leadership team in these difficult times in business and society.”
