Transform the success that defines you into the catalyst that elevates you.
I’m Tony Lillios, leadership coach, serial entrepreneur, and adventurer. I help successful leaders transform their achievements from endpoints into launching points for extraordinary impact.
As a serial tech founder who built multiple companies from the ground up, I've navigated the challenges of leadership at every stage - from startup chaos to strategic exits. I've been in the trenches where you are now.
At 27, my carefully planned life path collapsed. It wasn't a minor detour - it was a complete reset. That disruption became a catalyst for exploring and reimagining what was possible in business and beyond.
It led me to abandon the security of an amazing job and embark on a series of bold adventures, including: establishing myself as an entrepreneur, completing the first human-powered expedition across Bhutan, and conquering the frigid waters of Crater Lake in an unprecedented swim.
I've made a practice of finding what lies beyond perceived limitations.
Now I help others do the same.
Coaching for
High-Performing Leaders.
Many high-performing leaders master what they do, but find themselves constrained by the very formulas that created their success.
Real power emerges when you break free from the boundaries of past achievement and unleash the full force of who you are as a leader.
I work with executives and founders who newly find themselves in demanding roles or have an emerging sense that there's something more - a fuller expression of themselves and their impact waiting to be unleashed.
Through reflective practices, structured tools and frameworks supported by transformative conversations, I help you leverage your success as a foundation for meaningful growth.
Because there's a difference between doing more and being more.
Crossing Bhutan
In 2011, I led the first human-powered crossing of Bhutan from west to east—a 42-day journey through some of the most remote terrain on Earth.
In this nation that measures progress by Gross National Happiness instead of GDP, the expedition transformed my understanding of success. What began as a physical challenge became a profound lesson in the difference between doing and being while exploring the path to success.
The award-winning documentary, Crossing Bhutan, captures my journey across the Himalayan kingdom, as well as my own crossing from achievement-driven leadership to something more authentic and impactful.
Need a Keynote?
When your attendees need more than fleeting inspiration - when they crave a fundamental shift in how they show up - hand me the mic. Beyond inspiration, audiences will find themselves in provocative thoughts, intimate conversations, and experiences they will talk about and reflect on for a long time after I leave the stage.
Drawing from my journey as an entrepreneur, athlete, and coach, I share stories and insights that inform and connect listeners to the fuller extent of their power and what is possible.
Whether you're interested in coaching, speaking, or a guest for your podcast,
I'd love to hear from you.
