Sterling Hawkins's Biography
Sterling Hawkins is an author, investor, entrepreneur, and keynote speaker who is globally recognized as a thought leader in organizational culture. Founder of the No Matter What Movement, he shows people how to practice trust to achieve the results they want regardless of obstacles.
Sterling developed his trust-powered success system to learn from the painful collapse of his multi-billion dollar startup involvement. He’s since combined his business background, research, study, and practice to come back and launch, invest in, and grow more than 100 companies. He’s taken that experience to work with C-level teams and leaders and speak on stages around the world. He’s been featured in magazines like Forbes, Fast Company, The New York Times and Inc.
He believes that the depth of your trust determines the extent of your growth and success in life and business. Getting results requires being brave, declaring big goals and stepping outside your comfort zone. To inspire people to unlock their own inherent potential, he shares five practices that help us push beyond our perceived limits to make a difference for our companies, communities, and families. When he’s not at home in Colorado, he may be out skydiving, swimming with sharks or adventuring with the No Matter What Movement.
