EDMONTON, ALBERTA, CANADA, June 27, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Dr. Crittenden is a leadership coach, Army veteran, speaker, international bestselling author of Becoming the Compass: A Leadership Fable for Emerging Leaders, and founder XL Coaching and Development. He holds a doctorate in Industrial and Organizational Psychology and is a certified practitioner of Gallup Certified Strengths and The Six Types of Working Genius. He has also been a part of the John Maxwell Team since 2023. Dr. Crittenden’s work is dedicated to equipping leaders to grow by leading authentically from who they are, not who they think they need to be.

The International Order of Fantastic Professionals (IOFP) is honored to welcome Dr. Ryan Crittenden into the IOFP family. His commitment to personal and professional growth, human connection, and impactful leadership embodies the spirit of the IOFP. His message of fostering a future where leaders thrive by being exactly who they are aligns with the impact the movement aims to achieve.

Ryan shared, “I am deeply honored to join the International Order of Fantastic Professionals and connect with such an inspiring group of leaders. The IOFP’s commitment to fostering authentic leadership resonates with my own philosophy. Together, I look forward to advancing these shared goals, building strong relationships, and contributing to a world where leadership is measured not by titles or achievements, but by connection and authenticity.”

Dr. Ryan Crittenden’s new book, Becoming the Compass: A Leadership Fable for Emerging Leaders, tells the story of Alex, a rising leader facing toxic culture, uncertainty, and transformation. The book explores four transformational principles, offering readers a bridge between leadership theory and real-world challenges.
