WHY KEVIN?
As a result of his personal dedication, Kevin knows first-hand that his S.M.I.L.E.S. Leadership Formula works. He has applied these principles for years. He was promoted to a leadership position after only six months (a company record) in his first-ever corporate position after retiring from the Harlem Globetrotters and was promoted within eight months to another. Using the same principles he learned as an elite professional athlete and first-class leader, Kevin positioned himself to do what it took others a year and a half to accomplish within the same organization, and he can show you how!

Experience
Not your typical leadership expert, Kevin offers your organization a unique and exciting background for your company function. He has visited 95 countries, spent a decade playing at the highest level of sports, is a world-renowned entertainer and is fluent in two languages. Life, however, hasn’t been all roses and basketballs for Kevin. He’s seen more than a fair share of hardships. He lost his mother to suicide at the age of three and moved to a new country several years later. Obstacles and adversity followed him through college. He never quit… not once gave up. Instead, he spent a lifetime studying successful people and achieving his goals.
From the basketball court to the boardroom, Kevin has achieved success and now spends his time training, motivating and inspiring others to be the best leaders they can be. He has helped average Joe’s, corporate executives, organizations, and corporations around the world and can do the same for you with an unmatched level of excellence and expertise. Who better to help your organization—your team—than the ultimate team captain?
Authenticity
As a child as young as six, Kevin was driven to succeed. During his childhood years, he would wait on a basketball court for New Year’s Eve, so he would be the first person to make a basket in the New Year at the stroke of midnight. He knew no one else in the world was working on their craft and he saw that as his advantage. That level of dedication is who he is, and it continues to grow today.
Kevin has spent a lifetime facing challenges and not only overcoming them but also learning from and developing because of them. He will share his knowledge and leadership secrets with you and your organization to help you to face, overcome, learn from and develop because of yours, too!
