Testimonials About
Kevin Sweeney and
Pressure Cooker Confidence

I have been managing meetings and conventions for thirty years.  You are exceptional!!..... What impressed me the most about your presentation is how extremely well you connected with the individuals in the audience.  Your obvious strength of character made us want to listen; then once you grabbed our attention, you showed us how we could make genuine changes in our daily lives.  All this before you wowed us with the climax….the rest of the story.

If you're looking for someone who embodies leadership, peak performance, accountability and knows what it takes to build a loyal and dynamic team, then you've found the right person in "The Colonel".  Lt. Colonel Kevin Sweeney is a leader of men, both literally and figuratively.  As a key executive in a top 50 company, a military hero, and now an author and professional speaker.  The Colonel offers organizations and associations key insights to what it takes to lead when the pressure is on.  I highly recommend Kevin as a speaker, author, and consultant.  Bring him to speak at your event and your team will be inspired, encouraged, and motivated to deliver peak performance in all they do, even when times are tough!  It pays to have a "Conversation With the Colonel".

Your story is obviously a unique one; but you wove the terrifying tale around the civilian work-life in such a way that everyone could both identify with it and understand how you and your crew so miraculously persevered....My own favorite part of your story is how you fought to get your whole crew recognized by the Air Force in receiving the Distinguished Flying Cross Medal.
