About Kelvin Redd.

Kelvin Redd is the #1 Leadership Coach in Alabama and Georgia, and he is the only African American to write two books on servant leadership. His first book, Stand Tall: Essays on Life and Servant Leadership (Second Edition) debuted at #35 on the Amazon Business and Organizational Learning List in early 2021. His second book, Define Your Destiny: A Self-Awareness Journey Toward Servant Leadership, debuted at #15 on the 2014 Amazon Top 100 Leadership Books List. 

Kelvin is the only Emergenetics MASTER Associate in Alabama and Georgia. Of the more than 4,000 Emergenetics Associates worldwide, there are less than 60 MASTER Associates, and he is one of them. Kelvin uses Emergenetics–a measurable, proven way to recognize and apply thinking and behavior patterns people regularly use—as their first step on their personal development, self-awareness, and servant leadership journey.  

Kelvin is the former Director of the Center for Servant Leadership, a division of the Pastoral Institute in Columbus, Georgia. While there, the Greenleaf Center for Servant Leadership named Columbus a Servant-Leader City in 2010. It was the first time in the organization’s history that a city anywhere in the world had been bestowed such an honor.   

For 13 years, Kelvin worked for Synovus Financial Corp. in Columbus, Georgia, and a company voted by Fortune magazine as The Best Place to Work in America in 1999. He held positions in human resources, branch management, customer service, governmental affairs, and relationship management; and was promoted to an assistant vice president in 1995. 

Kelvin received a Bachelor of Arts in history degree from Auburn University and a Master of Science in Management degree, with a concentration in Leadership and Organizational Effectiveness, from Troy University. Currently, he is pursuing his Ph.D. in Leadership Studies with a concentration in Organizational Behavior and Self-Awareness.
