Keil Wilson

Keil Wilson

Keil Wilson (k-EYE-ill or kile) has a long and varied IT background and has seen many of the challenges IT organizations face firsthand. Across roles as a developer, lead, project manager, and IT architect, he often ran into the same pressures around scope, schedule, and cost. Looking for better alternatives to the traditional planning and estimating approaches taught by "professors and professionals," he turned to the Manifesto for Agile Software Development. The result was happier customers, more engaged teams, and quality products/projects delivered and refined frequently.

Since that shift to agile development, Keil has spent years building agile teams that use iterative delivery and feedback to provide timely, valuable IT products and services for organizations of all sizes. He is a certified agile coach, agile leader, and Scrum Master who helps teams, clients, and customers reach their goals using agile principles and practices.

Michael Benjamin

Michael Benjamin

Michael Benjamin is an entrepreneur, burn survivor, and founder of a fast growing chocolate manufacturing company.

After surviving a catastrophic explosion that left him in a coma with severe burns, Michael returned home to twin boys who did not recognize him. Instead of rebuilding quietly, he chose to build publicly. Companies. Teams. Responsibility.

Today he leads multiple businesses while raising five children under five with his wife, Rivka. He has navigated missed payroll, rapid growth, capital pressure, and high stakes decisions with no safety net and no room to collapse.

Michael speaks to leaders and founders about performing under pressure. Not theory. Not motivation. Real decisions when fear, fatigue, and responsibility collide.

Audiences walk away with a clear framework for leading through crisis, building resilience that is operational not emotional, and making bold moves when retreat would be easier.

His message is simple:

Pressure Is the Environment. Perform Anyway.

Alex Dumas

Alex Dumas

Alex Dumas doesn't just talk about confidence; he's lived the journey from complete collapse to unshakable certainty. After losing his mother three days after his son's birth, being fired months later, and hitting rock bottom prospecting strangers in Walmart's baby section, Alex discovered what most leadership programs never teach: your leaders aren't underperforming because they lack skill. They're underperforming because they lack inner stability under pressure.

Today, Alex speaks to organizations that understand the billion-dollar cost of disengaged teams and want leaders who anchor instead of wobble. Through his signature keynote and book, W.I.N. from Within, Alex has transformed leadership teams at corporations, conferences, and entrepreneurial summits, creating measurable shifts in engagement, execution, and resilience.

As the founder of Momentum Speaker Lab, Alex helps speakers turn talks into testimonials, bookings, and paid opportunities. He's organized charity events across multiple countries, raising over $100,000 for Operation Underground Railroad and other charitable causes.

When Alex speaks, leaders don't just feel inspired; they walk away with a clear framework, specific tools, and the confidence to anchor their teams through any storm.
