- Stay steady under pressure
- Inspire your team
- Create a legacy that lasts.
Your focus slips.
You’re reacting to fires instead of thinking strategically.
Your health suffers.
The late nights and constant tension catch up.
Your team feels it.
Burnout spreads, trust erodes, and communication breaks down.
Opportunities get missed.
You’re too busy surviving the moment to see what’s ahead.
You start to wonder if it’s worth it.
The job that once energized you now drains you.
You don’t need to run faster. You need a sustainable way to refuel.
What if resilience became your greatest strategic advantage?
Imagine walking into work clear-headed and steady, no matter what the day throws at you. Your team is aligned and energized. The fires are fewer, the pace is sustainable, and your decisions come from clarity… not fatigue. This is what happens when resilience becomes a strategic advantage rather than an afterthought.
Meet Tony
What if I told you resilience is learnable?
I’m Tony Loyd. Former Fortune 500 executive. Endurance athlete. Lung cancer survivor.
They say that keynote speakers give talks on the topic they need the most in their lives. I need resilience. That’s what I study, that’s what I live, and that’s what I share.
I’ve been where you are. I’ve led global teams as a Fortune 500 executive. It’s a lot to tolerate: economic volatility, inflation, supply chain disruptions, talent shortages, regulatory uncertainty, technology disruption, and AI integration.
I’ve run dozens of marathons while battling lung cancer that left me with 75% of my lungs. I’m still running, still leading, and still getting 100% out of that 75.
The pressure is real. And the cost of doing nothing is steep.
No fluff. Just frameworks that last.
Tools backed by neuroscience and lived experience
Frameworks that help teams adapt, connect, and perform under pressure
Coaching that builds sustainable leadership, not just productivity hacks
Language that sticks, stories that resonate, and strategies that endure

Ways to work with me
The Method
Keynotes Speaking
Your audience doesn’t need another pep talk. That’s why I give science-backed keynotes that provide your audience with practical tools they’ll actually use.
The Lab
Interactive Workshops
Interactive sessions that shift culture from reactive to resilient. Designed to help teams connect, adapt, and perform under pressure.
The Run
Executive Coaching
You don’t need another productivity hack. You need endurance. I work 1:1 with executives to help them lead sustainably — without losing their humanity.
When the old playbook stops working, it’s time for a new kind of leadership.
The strategies that used to drive performance don’t hold up in a world that never stops changing. You can’t outwork volatility, outthink exhaustion, or outrun burnout. You need a way to lead that sustains both you and your team for the long run.
Burnout isn’t just a personal crisis. It’s a leadership emergency.
- Teams mirror your exhaustion. Culture erodes.
- Strategic clarity gives way to reactive firefighting.
- High performers disengage or walk away.
- Innovation stalls. Morale dips.
- The business bleeds time, talent, and trust.
Into every room I step into, I bring…
- The mindset of an endurance athlete.
- The experience of an executive leader.
- The clarity of a coach who knows what’s at stake.
The longer you wait, the higher the cost. What’s holding you back?
“This feels expensive.”
“I’ve tried leadership training before. It didn’t stick.”
That’s because most programs focus on motivation, not transformation. I combine neuroscience, lived experience, and repeatable frameworks.
“I’m not sure this will work for my team.”
Every engagement is tailored. I’ve worked with global corporations, startups, and nonprofits — and I meet teams where they are.
“We’re too busy for this.”
That’s exactly why you need it. Resilience isn’t a luxury. It’s a necessity.
“I don’t know where to start.”
Start with a call. We’ll clarify your goals and map out a path forward.
