About Brittney Ezell

Building on over 20 years in athletics leadership as a Division I women’s basketball coach, I’ve transitioned my experience to public speaking and executive leadership, helping companies and teams maximize their success and motivation. Whether speaking at large conferences or consulting with coaches, I build personal connections that guide them in leadership development and team building. Because I still have a deep love of basketball and developing others around me, I also offer private coaching for individuals and small groups, provide consulting for high school and collegiate-level coaches, and am a public speaker on leadership, team building, and motivation. Today, as CEO / team leader of Keller Williams – Johnson City Market, leading the #1-ranked brokerage in production, units, sales volume, and agent count in Northeast Tennessee / Southwest Virginia. I simultaneously serve as EVP of Elite Entertainment Experiences (E3). I combine my love for all sports, creating once-in-a-lifetime experiences and building strong relationships and partnerships. This role is perfect for me because I’m happiest when everyone else around me is doing great. I love to help others do well and this is directly connected to one of the company’s core values – success and results through people. With a track record of developing talent and a deep understanding of events, client privacy, and management strategies, I’ve developed a reputation as someone who invests greatly in people, communicates at a high level, and can instantaneously connect with anyone. My earlier collegiate coaching career included: Beginning in 2005, I took over four underperforming programs and, within two years, produced championship-level competitive programs with high academic standards, community connectivity, and “team-first” cultures. Motivating East Tennessee State University’s basketball program to play in two conference championships and achieving record-level season attendance. Rebuilding the team leadership, assembling a standout staff, and guiding the team to their first post-season tournament in eight years as head coach for Belmont University. First-time head coach (at 28) at Okaloosa Walton College (now NW Florida State College).I also earned a doctorate in global sport leadership from East Tennessee State University and served as adjunct professor in leadership. I earned my bachelor’s in business administration from the University of Alabama, where I was also a two-sport collegiate athlete and began my coaching career.
