The story of his combat mission team was featured in Reader’s Digest, and the story was also shared on the A&E channel titled “Wings Over the Gulf.”
Conversations With the Colonel puts you and your team front and center, up close and personal with Lt. Colonel Kevin J. Sweeney, the author of Conversations with the Colonel…. Lessons of Life, Leadership, and Wisdom and Pressure Cooker Confidence, How to Lead When the Heat Is On. The Colonel will discuss with you an authentic, ethical and realistic view of the attributes needed for successful performance under pressure. The Colonel shares his extraordinary experiences across a wide and varied spectrum that few if anyone can match.
Pressure Cooker Confidence enables you to say I can, I will, I expect, and I did it when the pressure is on. The Colonel’s flagship presentation built around his dramatic life or death flight during a mission in Desert Storm introduces the five principles of Pressure Cooker Confidence. Learn why the hard work you do before hand matters more than the work you do when the pressure is on.
True and effective leadership is not based upon rank or position. True and effective leadership is a critical and earned gift from the people you lead. Learn how to identify personal attributes of great leaders, become the teammate that makes you a great leader, discover integrity characteristics that great leaders demonstrate and more!

Aircrews seem to excel at their highest level when they are under pressure, delivering a very high mission success rate.
“Inspiring speaker. Pleasure to work with. Very professional and flexible.”
“You told my people exactly what I wanted them to hear…I knew your speech would be good, but your ending was above good!!!”
“I want you to know that the final keynote at CBITS this year was by far the best I have ever heard! Talk about motivation! I was sitting on the front row and several times felt as if my mouth was wide open-he just ‘drew’ me into his presentation!!!”
“Kevin got a standing ovation from a group of educators-that’s incredible. I’ve been doing this conference stuff ten years or more, and I’ve never seen that happen.”
“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 to 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.
