Stevie Knight
Stevie is a powerhouse of insight and impact—one of the most dynamic coaches, speakers, and trainers in the country today. His engaging style, proven strategies, and passion for growth inspire individuals and teams to lead with purpose, unlock their potential, and drive real results.
As a Maxwell Leadership Certified Executive Coach, Speaker, and Trainer, I help leaders at every level turn their potential into high performance. Whether delivering a keynote, leading a corporate workshop, or coaching one-on-one, I guide individuals and organizations toward clarity, growth, and results.
After nearly three decades in government service and nearly two decades in federal leadership, including serving as one of the highest-ranking officials in the Federal Bureau of Prisons—responsible for 6,800 staff, 18 facilities, and nearly $800 million in budget oversight—I understand leadership at the highest stakes. I’ve coached, trained, and mentored hundreds of professionals, helping them rise into roles of greater impact and influence.
Today, as CEO of Knight Leadership and Professional Development, I bring that experience to the stage and the boardroom, offering:
· Keynote Speaking that ignites change
· Executive Coaching that accelerates growth
· DISC Behavioral Consulting that builds high-performing teams
· Custom Leadership Trainings that bridge the gap between knowing and doing
I’ve spoken to graduating federal law enforcement classes, trained over 300 Wardens and Associate Wardens across 122 institutions, and mentored emerging leaders who now serve in influential roles nationwide. My leadership lens is shaped by real-world experience, academic grounding in Criminal Justice, and certifications in Diversity, Equity & Inclusion.
But beyond titles, my calling is simple: to build leaders—one individual at a time.
If you’re seeking a trainer, speaker, or coach who can inspire transformation, foster accountability, and empower leadership with purpose and precision, let’s connect. I’m ready to help your people lead with courage, clarity, and confidence.
