Tommy Breedlove

Tommy Breedlove is a Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author of Legendary and an international keynote speaker who helps leaders and organizations build cultures where top talent thrives and people perform at their highest level. Tommy began his career at Deloitte and rose to Shareholder, International Practice Leader, and Board Member at one of the largest accounting and financial firms in the Southeast. He had the title, the income, and the corner office, and he was still running on empty. Rebuilding his own life around purpose, clarity, and real relationships became the foundation for his work today: showing high achievers that you don't have to choose between ambition and a fulfilling life. Tommy has taken the stage for Toyota, HSBC, Cushman & Wakefield, The Home Depot, Facebook, Arby's, EPIC Insurance Brokers, Entrepreneurs' Organization, and the Exit Planning Institute, where he delivered the 2026 keynote to 1,200 CEOs and business owners. Organizations that bring Tommy in have reported gains in employee retention, satisfaction, and productivity in the year following his keynote. Cushman & Wakefield's Managing Principal said many team members called him "the best that has ever taken the stage." His signature talks include Leading From the Front, Retaining the Best & Brightest, Being Elite in Leadership & Life, If It's Not a Hell Yes, It's a No (reclaiming time and focus), Creating a Legendary Business, and Let's Lean In, a fireside chat with your CEO. He speaks to corporate leadership teams, associations, conferences, and entrepreneur groups, and every talk leaves the room with specific, actionable tools, not just inspiration. Tommy is the founder of Legendary, where he leads executive retreats and the Legendary Inner Circle mastermind for high achieving business leaders and executives.
