About Swift Kick Leadership (AND TOM)
Since 2014, Tom Krieglstein has been on a mission to make work feel less like a motivational poster taped to a broken printer. He founded Swift Kick Leadership to help teams ditch the awkward, the disengaged, and the “just-here-for-the-paycheck” energy.
His signature frameworks, Engagement Based Leadership and the Competency/Contribution Framework, have been taught to over 1.1 million leaders and team members at organizations like Apple, the US Army, Coca-Cola, and Nike.
There’s a reason he’s won eight national speaking titles. His programs aren’t lectures, they’re uplifting, engaging, and a much-needed wake-up call.
If your team needs more connection, more momentum, and fewer checked-out Zoom squares…
