Speaking

Discipline · Decision Psychology · Leadership Under Pressure

Chief Master Greg Moody, Ph.D. — nearly four decades teaching, 26 speaking engagements a year, schools named National School of the Year eight times, three #1 Amazon bestsellers. He speaks to leadership teams, professional associations, school districts, and industry events on the discipline that makes everything else — the call under pressure, the book that gets finished, the kid who grows into the person you hoped they'd be — actually work.

"Discipline is the foundation — of martial arts, business, and how we think about ourselves and life."

Signature Talks

Each talk runs 45–90 minutes as a keynote and can be expanded into a half-day or full-day workshop. All are tailored to the audience before delivery — no canned decks.

Decision Psychology Under Pressure

Why smart leaders freeze on the decisions that matter most — and the four-step framework that gets them moving without false confidence. Built from nearly four decades of high-stakes coaching and clinical practice.

Best for: Exec teams · Boards · Founders

The Leader You Already Are

Most leadership development is about the leader you'd like to become. This talk is about recognizing the leader you already are — and removing what's getting in the way of that person showing up consistently.

Best for: Mid-level leaders · Emerging exec programs

Building a Business That Survives You

The systems-engineering view of small business: what to systematize, what to delegate, what to keep on the founder's plate, and how to know which is which. Drawn from nearly four decades of building schools and consulting with hundreds of owners.

Best for: Owner-operators · Industry conferences

Bullying: Truths, Myths, and What To Do

The #1 Amazon Best Seller talk. What the research actually says about bullying, what parents and educators get wrong, and the protocol that's been adopted by martial arts schools nationwide. Olweus-certified content.

Best for: School districts · Parent associations · K-12 educators

The Black Belt Mindset for Business Leaders

What 1,800 black belts taught me about how high performers actually train. Why "10,000 hours" misses the point. The training architecture that produces durable leaders — in or out of a uniform.

Best for: Sales orgs · High-performance teams · Industry events

Custom — Built for Your Audience

Bring me a specific outcome you want for your audience and I'll build the talk around it. Most engagements are custom-shaped from one of the above five — but if your team needs something specific, that's the cleaner path.

Best for: Closed-door corporate events · Off-sites
