Dr. Chinsky is the Founder of the Institute for Leadership Fitness; author of The Fit Leader’s Companion and Lifelines for Leaders; and creator of the Fit Leader’s Program™ and Fit Leaders Academy, leadership development experiences that prepare high potential leaders for careers marked by personal health and sustained contribution.

The foundation for his work arose from the insights he gained during his own executive experience that cuts across all aspects of organizational life: from product development to customer service; from operations to human resources. For over a quarter century he played a role in the inner workings at companies that include Trinity Health, Ford Motor Company, Nestle and Thomson Reuters.

Working side by side with senior leaders, Dr. Chinsky moves them toward their highest level of professional effectiveness and leadership fitness. More importantly, they learn how to make their contributions sustainable, and then spread those traits to those they influence.
