Neil Cordrey 

Neil Cordrey invested his career studying, coaching, and mentoring formal and informal leaders on the characteristics of leadership that impact culture and performance. He embodies these characteristics and traits and believes in the potential of everyone in an organization. Engaging people to become active partners in business is challenging for most organizations. He believes that organizations with fully engaged and empowered employees is a key to business competitiveness. His approach impacts immediate and long-term business performance improvement. The shift in leadership behavior improves the culture of an organization which maximizes business results. 

Neil worked at DuPont as a learning consultant for 32 years with his early career focused on technical and safety training. Using effective instructional design approaches, Neil was able to create a training approach that reduced training time from 18 to 6 months and improved the knowledge and skill level of operations personnel. In 2000, he moved into a corporate human resource role focused on leadership and career development. Neil designed and facilitated leadership development processes for company leaders that focused on business improvement versus just attending leadership development events. He then managed the career development process for DuPont for several years, and in 2008, he transitioned into a project to help change the culture of DuPont from a more traditional, hierarchical organization to one that engages the full talents of all employees. Neil has spent the last eight years creating the New Reality Leadership experience based on over thirty years of compiling research and case studies of leaders in Fortune 100 as well as small and mid-sized companies.
​
Neil resides in Elkton, Maryland with his wife. He has five children and a growing number of grandchildren.

​Kent Hutchison wanted to be a Lumberjack, but he couldn't hack it.

How can one even think about sharpening the saw, when you are always busy sawing? Most folks, as well as organizations, put it off to their detriment. Failing to devote some time for periodic self-renewal has a negative impact on productivity and effectiveness, levels of team performance, and as well as on workplace behaviors of managers.

A woodsman was one asked, "What would you do if you if had just five minutes to chop down a tree?" He answered, "I would spend the first two and a half minutes sharpening my axe."

The key is continuous improvement.

Kent did become a Lumberjack in one way. A graduate of Stephen F. Austin State University, home of the Lumberjacks in Nacogdoches, Texas - Kent has more than 25 years of facilitating and leading others in their developmental journey. He is a believer of the need for continuous improvement in employee development; as well as personal leadership development.

Kent regularly facilitates leadership and team retreats for organizations and businesses. He is popular with both executive and blue-collar leaders - utilizing his experience as both a former university administrator and as a former manager in the petrochemical and construction environment.

In addition to his consulting practice, one can find Kent keynoting at conferences, banquets, and corporate events; as well as facilitating public workshops, team and leadership programs across the globe.

Originally from the small Southeast Texas community of Orangefield; this fifth-generation Texan now calls East Texas home, is involved as a community and business influencer. He is a frequent advisor to business owners and organization managers. Kent is passionate about leadership and team development, the emotional intelligence of others, and continuous sharpening of the saw in general.
