They’ll experience a dynamic and deeply relatable presentation that blends strategic insight with real-world stories from family businesses, service franchises, and executive boardrooms. I don’t just talk about succession planning, I walk audiences through the mindset shifts needed by both generations to build a legacy, not just an exit. Expect high energy, audience interaction, laughter, and clear takeaways that challenge assumptions and inspire action. Whether I’m keynoting a convention, leading a breakout session, or guiding a workshop, I make complex situations feel doable, empowering, and even exciting.
From the event planners perspective, I am easy to work with. We will have a clear expectation on what your expectations and needs are for the event, plus I am always early and respond quickly to any calls, texts or emails.
Kevin Juza is a powerhouse speaker, succession strategist, and growth coach who helps family-owned businesses, emerging leaders, and legacy-minded founders navigate one of the most emotional, complex transitions in business—succession planning. With over two decades of experience in sales leadership, operations consulting, and franchise ownership, Kevin doesn’t just speak about legacy—he’s lived it.
A former executive with a Fortune 500 company and consulting global SaaS companies, and an advisor to multi-generational service brands like ServiceMaster and H&R Block, Kevin has coached both parents struggling to let go and next-gen leaders unsure how to step up. His presentations are known for mixing real-world storytelling, no-fluff business frameworks, and actionable strategies that audiences can implement immediately, whether they’re preparing to pass the torch or pick it up.
Kevin has led executive workshops, keynoted conferences, and built sales engines that have scaled revenue to ensure generational wealth in family businesses. But his most powerful gift? He makes audiences feel seen. His empathy, humor, and straight-talking style create a safe space for tough conversations about power, trust, control, and letting go with grace.
When event planners book Kevin, they’re not just getting a speaker; they’re getting a catalyst. A bridge builder. And a coach who turns resistance into readiness.
