Alex Willis, founder and CEO of Leadership Surge, is a dynamic speaker, motivator and innovator of corporate and front-line change management programming. Willis honed his unique perspective during his college and professional career in football at the University of Florida and with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He founded Leadership Surge based on the belief that a great culture is built to last when every member of the team embraces winning values, behaviors and practices. The comprehensive training programs available from Leadership Surge help develop leaders at all levels: from the frontline to the board room.

For the last 15 years, Alex has coached and supported companies and employees throughout the construction sector including the trade industries, sub-contractors and Fortune 500 construction firms. He believes success occurs when the sector’s greatest asset — people — are empowered to bring their full selves to each project and worksite.

Alex has worked directly with more than 1,500 executives, foreman leaders, and front-line team members embedding the values of diversity and inclusion in every area of the leadership mindset resulting in improved communication, engagement, productivity, creativity and job satisfaction. His programs help leaders at every level with career imperatives such as stress management, critical thinking, performance coaching, work-life balance, time management and self-reliance.

Alex pushes the boundaries with his training — first, grabbing attention through innovative edutainment experiences then, winning hearts and minds through his authentic approach and relevant, activity-based modules. He doesn’t stop there: Alex has ensured that Leadership Surge programs also provide the tools and tactics organizations need to self-sustain the breakthroughs experienced during his foundational training.
