the World Needs

Develop, expand, and share your gifts and inspire others to use their own individual talents in extraordinary ways. In Unleashing Your Hero, I share how the heroes who transformed my life are people just like you.

Unleashing Your Hero will:
  • Provide you with a new definition of what it means to be a hero who inspires others to rise above and beyond in extraordinary ways.
  • Unpack the four characteristics of a hero, based on the entertaining and enlightening true stories of heroes who entered and forever enriched his life.

  • He changed my entire perspective on life.

    Hope this gets to Kevin. I work for Bridgestone. Have 30 years of experience. Heard speakers including Colin Powell. I have never been more moved than by Kevin. He changed my entire perspective on life. Thank you.

  • The audience was captivated from the start.

    Kevin Brown's presentation at the Navigate Summit was a hit. The audience was captivated from the start. Kevin's down-to-earth, genuine personality made him relatable to everyone, and his stories were both inspiring, thought-provoking, and heartwarming. He closed out the event with a bang, challenging everyone to connect in every moment and make a difference in the world.

  • I’ve never been moved so much as I was this week listening to Kevin.

    I’ve been in the presentation and hospitality business for 35 years and have seen dozens if not a hundred keynote speeches. I’ve never been moved so much as I was this week listening to Kevin. I now look in the mirror a little differently thanks to him. Keep up the great work!

  • Kevin has ranked the #1 favorite segment of the event!

    I personally thought that Kevin’s talk was AMAZING. So relatable, engaging, and impactful. The message was great, and we have been receiving such positive feedback from our team. The surveys are still rolling in, but from the ones we have received so far, Kevin has ranked the #1 favorite segment of the event! I have a feeling it will stay that way!

  • The best speaker I think I’ve ever hired

    I just wanted you to know that Kevin did an outstanding job. He truly knocked it out of the park with our attendees. He got a standing ovation, which rarely ever happens with this group. He had people laughing, crying, and they were inspired all at the same time. The icing on the cake was that he was so easy to work with and the best speaker I think I’ve ever hired.

  • Kevin was amazing!

    Kevin was amazing! You could hear a pin drop at his presentation. The feedback we've received from attendees has been overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing their appreciation for the depth of insight and expertise Kevin brought to the opening session -and as well as the breakout session. We are deeply grateful for his efforts in enriching our conference program.

  • They. Were. Floored.

    While we are big fans of Kevin ourselves, obviously, there were some nerves about how he might go over with this incredibly diverse crowd of ours. Fortunately, we found out very quickly when our chat began to light up – they. Were. Floored. They couldn’t stop talking about Kevin and his message… In the planning world, as you well know, even with the best preparation things can go a lot of different ways. You plan and hope for the best, but ultimately you’re at the mercy of the attendee. Kevin’s keynote truly was a case of “it could not have gone better or more according to plan.” They were with us, they were engaged, and they walked away moved, motivated, and inspired.

  • You were the best ever!

    Everyone enjoyed your presentation. I can't tell you how many people said on the evaluation that it was the best speaker they ever heard. Several people said they had heard speakers for 30 and 40 years in education and you were the best ever! I have even had several emails from teachers that were so appreciative. Thank you for making our back-to-school PD the best.

  • Based on his background in franchising, he could really relate to the position our owners were in.

    Kevin Brown left our team on a fantastic high note—he really moved people to change in the most positive way. Kevin received all 5’s on our survey and the very next day, positive feedback poured in from our owners! Based on his background in franchising, he could really relate to the position our owners were in. He shared from his heart and it flowed perfectly! He stayed to facilitate our roundtables and kept it organized, moving and inspired our team to dig deeper. Kevin was a dream to work with from the very beginning. We would love to bring him back and I would 100% recommend him!
