Geoff Tumlin

Dr. Geoffrey Tumlin is the President of On-Demand Leadership, the co-host of the Management Muse podcast, and the author of Stop Talking, Start Communicating, published internationally by McGraw-Hill. Geoffrey is a national media expert on organizational performance, leadership, and communication, and his writing and ideas have been featured in dozens of media outlets including the Chicago Tribune, L.A. Times, CNN/Fortune.com, and SiriusXM radio.

Geoffrey holds a PhD and an MA from the University of Texas at Austin and a BS from the United States Military Academy. After West Point, he somehow managed to graduate from the U.S. Army’s Ranger School, even though he gets lost constantly. He then served in the renowned Wolfhound Regiment of the 25th Infantry Division in Hawaii in the 1990s. Which was awesome.

Geoffrey has worked with some of the most prestigious organizations in the world, including Baylor Scott and White Healthcare, Boston Scientific, Shell Oil, Tripler Army Hospital, the Houston Grand Opera, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Honolulu Police Department, All-Pro Auto Reconditioning, and Hibernia National Bank. He is a frequent guest of healthcare organizations, governments, and companies across North America. As a Texan, he skis poorly, but with great enthusiasm, in the winter. He did not collide into Gwyneth Paltrow on the ski slope.
