Bruce Rector Biography

Bruce Rector, an author, speaker, facilitator, and moderator, teaches, inspires, and motivates individuals across various sectors to become more effective leaders within businesses, governments, communities, and families. Rector's engaging storytelling and homespun style, enriched by humorous and uplifting anecdotes from his personal experiences and extensive international travels, resonate deeply with his audiences. His ability to translate these experiences into practical leadership and performance enhancement tips is evident in his presentations, which energize and prepare audiences for action. Rector's extensive engagement with young leaders worldwide is highlighted by his tenure as the 58th President of JCI (Junior Chamber International), during which he traveled to nearly 50 countries in 2003, guiding a 200,000-member-strong organization spanning 110 countries.

Rector's literary contributions include the book "Monday Morning Messages: Teaching, Inspiring and Motivating to Lead," published by Xephor Press in 2005. The book, which compiles valuable insights for leadership and management, has garnered endorsements from prominent authors like Ken Blanchard, Stephen Covey, and Jennifer Kushell, enhancing its appeal on both national and international levels. Rector's writings continue to influence a broad audience through his weekly electronic messages, known for their practical and motivational content. Beyond authorship, Rector is the President of KBA Sports, Inc., a company specializing in sports event and program management. He brings a unique perspective to his work, combining his background in sports medicine and law with leadership training.

Born in Anderson, Indiana, in 1963, Rector attended the University of Kentucky, where he initially engaged with sports teams as a student athletic trainer. After earning a Juris Doctorate from the same university in 1990, he practiced law for 23 years and currently holds a position with Woodward Hobson and Fulton, LLP. Additionally, Rector has held positions as an adjunct faculty member at Indiana Wesleyan University and a part-time professor at the University of Kentucky, contributing to both the MBA program and the Graduate Program in Sport Leadership. Rector continues to reside in Lexington, Kentucky, with his wife Tabitha and his son Trevor, from where he frequently travels to deliver keynotes and conduct seminars focused on leadership, change management, and effective communication in the workplace.
