Kurt Snyder has 26 years of leadership across a multitude of industries. Ranging from the military, corporate, nonprofit and consulting sectors -- Kurt has consistently employed the same foundational strategies, regardless of sector, with high success rates.
Kurt is a service academy graduate and this experience over 4 years laid the leadership foundation from which to build.

Out of the Navy Kurt spent time in corporate positions until he started working with youth competitive rowing programs and served as a consultant. Using time tested methodologies he has built many champion scholastic rowers and has won multiple championships. His rowers have been recruited to colleges, qualified for the national championships and competed internationally.
Kurt runs his own small company and is currently developing leadership and process improvement solutions. Additionally, he is developing digital media solutions in multiple sectors. He is still coaching rowing, too!

2 Do you have the materials and equipment to do your job right?
3 At work, do you have the opportunity to do what you do best every day?
4 In the last seven days, have you received recognition or praise for doing good work?

6 Is there someone at work who encourages your development?
