About Tim Storey
Tim Storey is one of the world's most sought-after motivational speakers and life coaches, known internationally as "America's Comeback Coach." For more than three decades, Tim has coached thousands across 75+ countries—including A-list celebrities, Fortune 500 executives, professional athletes, and entrepreneurs—teaching them to transform setbacks into powerful comebacks.
Tim has addressed audiences from intimate boardrooms to stadium crowds of 85,000+. His signature message on resilience has been featured on Oprah, The Today Show, and countless global stages. His coaching clients include Oscar winners, billionaire founders, and championship athletes navigating career-ending injuries, business failures, and personal crises.
Tim's journey to becoming a warrior with wisdom was earned through real battles. After losing his father at age ten and his sister at twelve, watching alcoholism destroy his family, and growing up in poverty, Tim chose refinement over resentment. The Crow Nation adopted him and gave him the name "Warring With Wisdom"—a title earned through years of getting back up and helping others do the same.
Chapter: "Staying Steady in Unsteady Times"
"When you lose your shout, your team loses their way. Your voice matters. Your energy matters. Your belief that there's a path forward matters more than you know."
In his transformative chapter for Maverick Leadership, Tim Storey reveals battle-tested principles that separate leaders who stay stuck in crisis from leaders who transform unsteady times into powerful comebacks.
Tim opens with a ceremony that changed everything. The Crow Nation adopted him and gave him the name "Warring With Wisdom." A chief looked him in the eyes: "You speak like a man who has been through many battles. You war with wisdom like a true warrior who takes back the spoils without getting blood all over his garments." That moment crystallized thirty years of wisdom: warrior eyes aren't born—they're earned.
Through Mike Tyson's inability to rise after being knocked down, a cancer survivor who defied a three-week death sentence, and Tim's own losses, the chapter exposes the difference between leaders who lose their "shout" in crisis and leaders who reclaim their voice when it matters most.
"For every kid, life began with a shout. But most people just go through life. Their shout becomes a whisper. Life has knocked the shout out of them."
The chapter centers on three decisions that change everything: Believe it can get better (backed by post-traumatic growth research), face your giant (what you avoid grows, what you confront shrinks), and work your land (leadership base hits win more than home runs). Tim shares how he coached himself through personal crisis using these principles, choosing to "feed my faith and starve my doubts."
Warrior eyes see through chaos to victory beyond, spot opportunity where others see obstacles, and never stop looking forward. Because there always is a way. Always.

Three Transformative Takeaways:
1. Your Unsteady Times Are Either Your Graveyard or Your Training Ground—Choose Refinement
You can let crisis define you, or refine you. Tim lost his father at ten, his sister at twelve, watched poverty and alcoholism destroy his family—and chose to fight. That choice made him a warrior. For leaders: you're not just choosing what crisis makes of you—you're modeling for everyone watching what's possible when life knocks you down. Your team is learning whether to give up or get up by watching you. Warrior eyes aren't born—they're earned through years of getting back up.
2. What You Avoid Grows in the Dark. What You Confront Shrinks in the Light.
Tim has watched executives avoid difficult conversations for years. The longer they avoid it, the bigger the problem—underperformers spread impact, high performers leave, one conversation becomes organizational crisis. Leaders who confront quickly stop the growth. It's uncomfortable, sometimes painful. But the cancer stops spreading. Here's the truth: we were created to rise. Our cells regenerate. Our muscles grow stronger from stress. When bones break, they become stronger at the fracture. We are built to become stronger at the point of breaking. Will you face your giant?
3. Leadership Base Hits Win More Games Than Home Run Swings—Stack Wins Daily
Tim calls it "working your land." Billy Beane's Moneyball proved it: consistent base hits win more than occasional home runs. For leaders in crisis: daily communication beats big announcements. Small improvements beat betting on one launch. Trust built conversation-by-conversation beats grand gestures. Base hits compound faster than you think. Your breakthrough isn't one lucky event—it's small decisions over years creating readiness. All it takes is a first step. You don't need to see the whole staircase. Just take the first step. Then the next.
Tim’s Impact
For thirty-plus years, Tim Storey has coached the world's highest performers through their lowest moments—from Hollywood stars to Silicon Valley founders, athletes to executives navigating career-defining crises. His message has reached millions across 75+ countries.
His coaching philosophy: the goal isn't getting back up once—it's mastering the art of getting back up every time.
