corky's Story

Years ago, Corky helped an association facing legislation that threatened its very existence. With the opposition well-funded and organized, Corky designed a comprehensive advocacy plan—training members, crafting a powerful message, and mobilizing a grassroots campaign. Against all odds, the outcome was flipped, the bill was amended, and the industry survived.


That experience became the foundation of his book and his mission: to transform ordinary leaders into powerful advocates who know how to win.

how he works

Corky’s approach is straightforward: no theory, no jargon—just field-tested strategies that work. Whether training board members, speaking to business leaders, or mentoring students, his mission is to equip every audience with the knowledge and confidence to step into the legislative arena and succeed.
