Their Story Matters with Sara Troy and her guest Julie Connor airs from August 30th
As a keynote speaker, passionate youth and youth leadership advocate, a seasoned educator, and author of an award-winning goal-setting book, Dreams to Action Trailblazer’s Guide, I prepare youth to be leaders and adults to be mentors and role models. I have shown young people and adults in schools and churches, organizations and nonprofit organizations throughout the country how to welcome and actively involve youth and build collaborative leadership in the life of their communities as a consultant, trainer, program director, and youth minister for more than 30 years.
My youth leadership workshops and articles led to speaking and TEDx presentations.
I love teaching. I love building collaborative youth leadership teams.
As a speaker, educator, and youth advocate, I prepare youth to be leaders and adults to be mentors and role models.
I pay it forward. I provide at-risk youth and families with goal-setting tools and training in Kansas City’s urban core.

I empower teens, teachers, youth leaders, and adults who love young people how to break through labels and bullying to build caring communities. I specialize in vision, mission, and goal-setting strategies; collaboration and teamwork; consensus, communication, and conflict resolution. I also facilitate courageous conversations about diversity and inclusion.
In 2011, I graduated with a doctoral degree in educational leadership. My dissertation was a research model in two universities – and I lost my job. The school district where I work closed schools and my position was eliminated. I had to figure out how to transform the organizational strategies I shared with groups into a personal plan of action to reinvent myself and create a new career.

It became painful and difficult to push words out of his voice box. At nearly the same time, his mother-unbeknownst to him-gifted him a reading by a world renowned evolutionary astrologist. Her words and an article in National Geographic on the Sioux Nation with a photo of a modern day young Native American galloping across the prairie ignited something deep within him. He knew he was called to Indian country, but did not yet know why, but that became apparent in the four trips that he made within a year to the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, and the awakening of his soul. Says Kevin in his remarkable award-winning new book Not For Sale: Finding Center in the Land of Crazy Horse, “Within me lived a powerful impulse to take charge and protect my tribe, whenever it came under duress. I felt a strong pull to save everyone, and I took on all the work that went with that instinct. Worse, I internalized that responsibility to the point where it consumed me in ways I could not see. The price I paid for that approach was that I lost myself to both my role and my local circumstances. I had become consumed in protecting others. I had not yet learned that most everyone is capable of protecting themselves. I had not yet learned to share power. I had not yet learned to serve myself.” It is this and more that he discovers on this mystical and fascinating journey-a vision quest for a visionary. Kevin captivates with his story telling. He shares his growing connection and affection for the long-suffering, but resilient Lakota people-and what they teach him; his increasing awareness of human relationships to land, animals, nature and spirit; and how he unyoked himself from his sole leadership role to create shared responsibility that resulted in record profits for his company and a feature in the NY Times showcasing his new leadership model.
