Derek's Bio
Derek’s passion is to help you become the leader you’d want to follow. With a background in sports leadership at the NCAA Division I and NBA levels—and a client list that spans hundreds of organizations in business, manufacturing, hospitality, healthcare, government, and beyond—he now turns managers into leaders at Lead on 3! as an author, keynote speaker, and leadership coach. He has written two books—SHIFT: Move from Frustrated to Fulfilled and Everyday Leaders: Small Actions, Big Results—and is currently working on his next, Leadable: Be Coachable. Become Unstoppable. Derek’s world centers on family as a husband and girl dad to two active, social daughters. When he’s not geeking out on leadership, he’s likely working out, walking with Rachel, or sipping coffee.

Audience & Client Feedback on Derek
1 / 12
Derek’s presentation was focused on applying concepts. He gave time to actually work through what was being taught. He was engaging and blended personal stories with audience application.
Bryan Scriver
Derek's session was 100% on point. The "Five levels of leadership" are what companies across the country should be focusing on. There are things as a leader I tell myself I'm going to do each day. 1. I'm going to say hello to all of my TM's (usually in a pre shift type setting) 2. I'm going to make sure to thank every single person who came to work today. 3. I'm going to learn something new about a team member every day. 4. I never expect more out of the team than I do myself. This A. Helps me build relationships with my team. B. Keeps them engaged and wanting to come to work. C. Builds the teams confidence in me and the property. When they feel valued, they give you their best all the time! I was unable to make it to the "live" session, but definitely agree with many points you talked about. If I had to rate myself based on the pyramid, I would say a strong 4. I have had leaders in the past that have shown me how I "do" and "don't" want to lead! Thank You!

This is one of the hardest things that I’ve tried to wrap my head around since becoming a. This is a clear path on how to take the right steps to begin to delegate more. I would like to say thank you 100% for the entire course. You’re a great speaker and I have learned and plan to apply all that I have learned. I will be a better leader because of this training.

Derek keeps you engaged in the training. And is very communicative about the learning steps. Shares stories to relate to members attending his training. Very beneficial for leaders to develop skills in the roles at what ever company they may be working at. There is always room for improvement. Thank you Derek!
Paul Enriquez
Every leader has stresses. This series was a fun way to open your mind and create discussions amongst your peers that can help both directly and indirectly improve your problem solving and coaching skills. Derek is relatable, humble, and authentic. This makes for a very engaging training series.

It helps you to understand how your core values affect your life both work and professional . Don’t know what your core values are? You will learn how to break it down. Makes you really dig deep into who you are and who you want to be including the need for action to achieve your goals.
Heather Swarm
The session is a deeper dive to look within and how you can take action now. It truly examines how you can become more fit to lead. We all need it whether we want to admit it or not. Some things you may not have thought of, comes up in the discussions and brings focus on what matters.
John Moore
Very dynamic and engaging content. Fun, and informative. Shares an awesome perspective on how to make the best choices with tough conversations and tough situations and how to better evaluate the whole situation not just the struggle. Very helpful session for me as a new leader.
Attendee
Shared some thought provoking, sometimes unconventional, views of leadership. Very applicable to leaders climbing the latter. I tend to feel like people see me as 'too' hands off with my team. But Derek's approach confirms and gave me confidence in this type of management style
