I’m a husband, father of four, entrepreneur, and three-time author. For more than 15 years, I’ve spoken, taught, and facilitated transformational experiences around the world. My work comes from building businesses, leading teams, raising a family, and helping people change. Those experiences shape what I bring to the stage: practical tools for leadership, connection, and lasting change.
Leadership asks us to stay grounded when things get uncomfortable, communicate when the stakes are high, and build trust through honest conversations. I helps audiences expand their capacity to lead with clarity, resilience, and connection.
Through storytelling, humor, and audience participation, Preston turns ideas into something people can practice. Audiences leave with practical tools they can bring into their leadership, teams, relationships, and lives.
