Meet Our Keynote Speaker

 

As you push through another demanding busy season, the long days in the field and constant calls can make it hard to look beyond the next job.

At the 2026 National Chimney Sweep Guild (NCSG) Convention & Trade Show in Kansas City, keynote speaker Dr. Kevin Elko will bring a message built for these moments. His talk ties directly into this year’s theme, Turn Up the Heat, a reminder to push yourself, sharpen your skills, and fuel the fire that keeps your business moving forward.

Dr. Elko is a nationally known performance coach who has worked with championship teams such as the Philadelphia Eagles, Dallas Cowboys, Pittsburgh Steelers, and the University of Alabama football program, as well as major companies including FedEx, Coca-Cola, and State Farm. His message centers on mental toughness, leadership, and the idea that success comes from focus and consistent effort every single day.

His keynote, “To Do the Impossible, You Have To See the Invisible,” challenges audiences to stop simply going through the motions and start growing again. He’ll talk about setting goals, visualizing success, and speaking those goals into existence, especially when times are tough.
