TJ Sweet is a keynote speaker, author, and podcast host who helps leaders succeed in business while maintaining the relationships and connections that matter most.

With over 20 years of leadership experience and specialized training from the NeuroLeadership Institute, TJ addresses the challenge facing today's high-achievers: the false choice between professional success and personal fulfillment. Through compelling storytelling rooted in his own "moments of impact", including surviving a near-fatal car crash, losing his best friend, and pushing through extreme adversity, TJ delivers a combination of research-backed strategies and vulnerable life experiences that prove you don't have to sacrifice meaningful relationships to build a successful career.

TJ is the author of three books: "Grateful Leadership," "Practice Gratitude: Find Joy," and "Gus the Grateful Golden." His podcast, Living the Sweet Life, reaches audiences in 48 countries with over 267,000 engagements and 14,000 plays, establishing him as a trusted voice for leaders navigating the tension between ambition and connection.

His signature keynotes, "The Gratitude Effect," "The Connection Effect," "Living with Purpose," and "Master Your Mindset", blend neuroscience, vulnerable storytelling, and practical frameworks that transform how leaders show up in both their professional and personal lives. From large conference stages to executive retreats, TJ's message resonates because it speaks to the whole person, not just the leader, but the parent, partner, and individual seeking a life of meaning and impact.

TJ's client list includes MU Health Care, Centene Corporation, EMC Insurance, Veterans United Home Loans, the Healthcare Financial Management Association, Central Bank, Shelter Insurance, the Association for Talent Development, and the Missouri Bar. His dynamic delivery and actionable insights help organizations elevate engagement, strengthen culture, and inspire intentional leadership...without burnout.

TJ's work empowers leaders to move from overwhelmed to intentional, from disconnected to engaged, and from surviving to thriving at work and at home.
