Overview
The eagle does not escape the storm — it uses the storm. This signature keynote takes the crest of the Institute and turns it into a working leadership model: vision, altitude, courage, and the discipline to fly alone before you can lead a formation.
Coach C weaves personal story, military discipline, and decades inside schools and locker rooms into a message that leaves an audience standing — and, more importantly, leaves them with something to do on Monday morning.
