I’m looking forward to sharing effective strategies and personal stories that can empower every leader to achieve success in their fields.”

From Combat to the Corporate World

Jocko Willink’s career has been nothing short of extraordinary. Over 20 years with the SEALs, Jocko rose from an enlisted SEAL to command SEAL Team Three’s Task Unit Bruiser during the critical battle of Ramadi.

Leadership Reinvented

After his distinguished military service, Jocko co-founded and became CEO of Echelon Front, a premier leadership consulting firm. At Echelon Front, Jocko teaches the leadership principles honed on the battlefield to empower others to win in their personal and professional lives. His book, “Extreme Ownership: How U.S. Navy SEALs Lead and Win,” co-authored during his time at Echelon Front, became a #1 New York Times bestseller, further cementing his expertise in leadership.
