Bryce Kenny

Bryce Kenny is the first Monster Jam driver to break 100 mph, a feat that earned him a Guinness World Record. Over 11 years as a professional driver, including behind the wheel of the Great Clips Mohawk Warrior, Kenny performed in front of crowds as large as 55,000 people and earned the 2019 Save of the Year and the 2021 Outreach Award. Today he is a leadership and peak performance keynote speaker who teaches teams when to shift gears as change hits.

From Fortune 500 Recruiter to Record Breaker

Before the arena, Kenny spent years as a Fortune 500 corporate recruiter, watching leaders and teams either find their momentum or lose it. That mix of boardroom and racetrack experience became the G.E.A.R. Framework, a four-part model built on Growth, Engagement, Acceleration, and Risk that helps organizations diagnose why they are stuck and which gear will get them moving again.

The G.E.A.R. Framework at Work

Kenny has taken the framework to Deutsche Bank, Chick-fil-A, KOA, Great Clips, Choice Hotels, and more than 200 organizations across corporate summits, franchise conventions, and association conferences. He is also the author of Geared for Life: Making the Shift into Your Full Potential.

Bryce Kenny delivers keynotes on leadership, peak performance, and turning change into momentum.
