Caleb Campbell | Speaker Biography

Keynote speaker and coach on leadership and emotional well-being

First West Point football player drafted into the NFL while serving in the Army

Advocate for mental health, resilience, and authentic leadership

Caleb Campbell is a dynamic keynote speaker, coach, and mental health advocate known for his authentic and transformational message on high-capacity leadership, whole-person success, and emotional well-being.

In 2008, Caleb graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point and was commissioned as an officer in the United States Army. However, Caleb's path took a unique turn. He was also selected in the 2008 NFL Draft, making him the second player to be drafted out of West Point and the first player, under a new Department of Defense policy, permitted to serve and play simultaneously. Little did he know at the time, but Caleb was about to fight his own inner battle, and it would almost cost him his life.

Now, fueled by his experiences and commitment to emotional wellness, Caleb is on a mission to inspire leaders to live and lead with authenticity and courage. With his captivating storytelling and infectious energy, Caleb shares his powerful experiences from West Point, the NFL, and beyond to help leaders strengthen resilience, sustain high performance, and, most importantly, enhance their overall well-being.

Far from offering clichéd "do better, be better" advice, Caleb skillfully guides his audience through discussions on courage, emotional intelligence, and heart-centred leadership. Caleb's mission is to continually demonstrate how facing our fears, embracing change, and staying authentic will make us stronger, even in our weakest moments.

Caleb's journey — from being the first West Point football player to be drafted into the NFL while serving in the Army, to overcoming policy changes and returning to active duty, to eventually realizing his NFL dream — demonstrates how facing fears, embracing change, and staying authentic can make us stronger, even in our weakest moments.
