Former navy seal and special operator Robert O’Neill is one of the most highly-decorated combat veterans of our time. He was a team leader and operator with the naval special warfare development group, otherwise known as Seal Team Six. In his line of work, instant, critical decision-making is an absolute necessity for success, and he has proven experience in exceptionally high-risk and fluid environments. Having trained more than 800 special operations and tactical operators, he brings this unique expertise to organizations and translates his elite seal team training into high-impact, actionable insights on leadership, decision-making, operating in uncertain environments, and how to become the ‘best of the best.’ His mantra is “never quit,” and O’Neill believes this is the single most important factor in determining success. O’Neill also reminds us that the servicemen doing the dirtiest work are often making the hardest sacrifices.
