About Td Smyers
I coach newly appointed CEOs and succession-stage executives through the first year of leadership, when the stakes for the organization - and the risks of failure - are highest.Most CEO failures don’t happen because the leader lacks talent. They happen because leadership transitions are harder - and more perilous - than boards expect. With over three decades of executive leadership across the government, social, and private sectors; helping develop the vision, drive, and confidence new chief executives need to navigate complex challenges and opportunities.I\'m John Maxwell Team certified and a member of ICF - the International Coach Federation. I was recognized as Fort Worth\'s 2019 Nonprofit CEO of the Year and awarded the Legion of Merit for exceptional performance in command of a joint military air base as a US Navy Captain.
