Our Story: The Why
As leaders, we are all familiar with the high-performers. The men and women that never need prompting; they naturally execute and compete at an elite level while raising the performance of those around them. Unfortunately, this is not the norm. Instead, the vast majority of people, some of whom may be extremely talented, lack the skills to lead.
Without leaders, there is no culture. There is no standard. Without a standard, there are only suggestions and people will do what is comfortable; drift toward mediocrity. For our teams and businesses, culture is the backbone of what makes or breaks us. It’s the difference between hitting our best quarter of sales and being forced to make cuts, between a comeback win late in the game and going home empty handed. Culture cannot survive, let alone thrive, without proper leadership.
Led by a former Division 1 Coach with a decade of experience building leaders, culture, and mindset at the highest levels, Edge Leadership Academy simplifies leadership and high performance.
“Our vision is to be the driving force behind people’s success; to build a community where people can learn, grow, and execute to become the best version of themselves. Our mission is to arm as many people as possible with the skills to be leaders in business, athletics, and life.” - David Kitchen, Founder

We Lead From the Front.
Our clients trust us to give them the blueprint to building the life they want. That means all our methods must be tested, refined, and researched. We will live the messages we speak.
We Lay Bricks Daily.
We will do today what others won’t so that we can do tomorrow what others can’t. Put simply, we will not be outworked. We understand that doing something small every day is better than doing something big once in a while. 1% better.
We Value Connection Over Content.
Relationships will always be at the core of what we do. Regardless of the service, we are in the people business. Our clients are an extension of our family.
Making it Work
Presentation Pillars
Theory Meets Practice
As a coach, you learn quickly that ideas are great, but execution is what matters. We bring that same framework to our workshops and keynotes. Participants will learn why principles matter, but more importantly they will walk away with tools they can implement today.
Active Engagement
Leadership is a never ending process. Edge delivers a service that encourages participants to become actively engaged in their leadership process through reflection sheets, dynamic discussion portions, and frameworks to apply the principles.
Connection Before Content
“Nobody cares how much you know until they know how much you care.” Our mission is deeply personal. That means we engage and connect with our clients in a way that makes the content we are delivering applicable and personal. Edge participants leave educated about what it takes to be a leader and inspired to do the work.
