 Meet Brian Knowler, a distinguished veteran police officer, retired lawyer, speaker, trainer, and accomplished author. Brian's extraordinary life experiences and profound insights make him the ideal partner for HR professionals, senior leaders, and C-suite executives looking to elevate their leadership skills. 

In 2004, Brian found himself at the center of a devastating motor vehicle crash that tragically claimed the life of a close friend.

It wasn't until 2012 that he was diagnosed with job-related PTSD and began therapy, marking the turning point towards recovery.

Brian's story is not just about personal redemption; it's about empowering first responders and public safety personnel worldwide. He has spoken passionately on issues related to leadership, trauma, mental health, resiliency, and workplace safety, resonating with audiences across the globe.

This program is a testament to his commitment to equipping organizations with the tools they need to support their teams' mental health and cultivate exceptional leadership.

Brian's journey has not been without its toll. Overseeing dozens of critical incidents, he understands the profound impact it can have on individuals and teams. The development of the CAPITAL-L Leadership material was, in part, a response to these experiences, aiming to strengthen both personal and professional resilience.

 Brian Knowler is not just a speaker and trainer; he's also a prolific author. He has penned two books that provide a raw and unfiltered glimpse into his experiences with trauma and leadership. His books, 'On the Other Side of Broken – One Cop’s Battle With the Demons of PTSD' (2016) and 'Career Suicide is Overrated' (2021), offer invaluable perspectives on overcoming adversity.
