About Kevin Snyder

I’m Dr. Kevin Snyder, a full-time keynote speaker, bestselling author, multi–TEDx speaker, and one of fewer than 10 speakers worldwide to earn both the Certified Speaking Professional (CSP) and Accredited Speaker (AS) designations — two of the highest honors in the speaking profession.Before speaking full-time, I built a meaningful career in Student Affairs, most recently as Dean of Students at High Point University. I chose that path because a Dean helped me to transform my own college experience. While working in Higher Ed, I began presenting workshops to both students and campus staff/faculty. The impact was undeniable, and eventually I was \'encouraged\' to choose between collegiate leadership and a rising speaking career. That decision launched my full-time speaking journey.I’ve now spoken to 1,500+ audiences and over 1 million people across all 50 states and several countries — from Fortune 500 organizations and global associations to universities, K–12 schools, and youth leadership groups. WHAT I SPEAK ABOUTI deliver several high-impact keynote programs, including my signature:• Becoming a ShiftThinker™: Overcoming Odds and Transforming New OpportunityMy keynotes blend research, humor, storytelling, and practical tools to help audiences:• Shift their mindset to overcome adversity and embrace possibility• Build cultures of engagement, performance and resilience• Strengthen leadership influence at every levelMy newest TEDx talk — focused on mental health, mindset, and rewriting your inner narrative — has launched a popular keynote resonating deeply with corporate teams, educators, and youth.
