Hello friend,

Thank you for taking a moment to learn about GraceWorks Collaborative. If we haven’t met yet, I’m Bobby Kazmir. I’m a child of the Living God, husband, father of three, and PopPop to five (so far!).

My leadership story began in the United States Air Force, where I led teams in the most demanding and uncertain environments imaginable. The highlight of my military career was serving as Commandant of one of the largest leadership development schools in the Air Force. There, I guided thousands of leaders to communicate well, operate with integrity, build trust, and stay calm under pressure. Those years showed me what happens when leaders truly see and liberate the people they serve.

After retiring from the military, I continued my calling to develop others certifying as a coach for Maxwell Leadership and a certified guide with GiANT Worldwide. I' brought this experience to executive roles in both higher education and corporate learning, several years of consulting for a Big4 firm, serving as a veteran career coach, and pouring into my local church. In every setting, the mission stayed the same: help leaders communicate more clearly, collaborate more effectively, and lead with confidence and peace.

Today, through GraceWorks Collaborative, I bring all of that experience to the leaders and organizations I serve. Whether I’m facilitating a workshop, coaching an emerging leader, or helping a team build healthier rhythms, I draw from lessons learned in classrooms, boardrooms, combat zones, and quiet moments of reflection that shaped me into the leader I am today.

My promise is simple:

When you partner with GraceWorks Collaborative, you receive the full depth of my leadership journey - decades of serving, guiding, and equipping leaders - offered with humility, care, and a genuine desire for your highest possible good.

I believe leadership is sacred work. People deserve leaders who communicate clearly, build trust, and unlock the potential in those they lead. I’ve seen organizations thrive when leaders choose to show up with humility, grace, and intentionality. When you choose to work with GraceWorks Colaborative, you’re not just hiring a family man, facilitator or coach. You’re gaining access to the whole of my leadership story and experience.

If you’re ready to strengthen your leadership, build healthier teams, or elevate your culture, I would be honored to walk that road with you. Let’s collaborate and build something meaningful together!

Proudly serving you,
Bobby R. Kazmir
