J. Todd Vinson

J. Todd Vinson steps into the moments where leadership stops being an idea and becomes a test. Through Overlander Consulting, he works with founders, entrepreneurs, nonprofits, and emerging leaders who are carrying real responsibility and learning in real time. These are people building something that matters, often at a pace that exposes every weakness in their leadership approach. While many chase tactics, hacks, or inspiration, Todd is locked onto a harder question: can you actually lead yourself and others through uncertainty without losing clarity, conviction, or your team.

His work centers on 1:1 coaching, focused leader intensives, workshops, and speaking that cut straight to how leaders think, decide, and show up. Todd is skilled at listening beyond the surface story, seeing patterns in behavior, and naming the internal and external friction that keeps leaders stuck. From there, he helps clients build practical frameworks for decision making, communication, and team leadership that fit their stage and context. Whether he is working with a founder wrestling with growth, a nonprofit leader balancing mission and pressure, or an emerging leader stepping into their first big role, the outcomes are concrete. More grounded confidence, clearer direction, and leadership that feels aligned instead of improvised.

When stakes are high and there is no script, Todd brings a steady, unhurried presence that keeps leaders focused on what they can control and what they must own. His style is candid, practical, and free of theatrics. He gives people language for what they are facing, clear next steps, and a way of operating they can carry into every room they walk into. Leaders who work with him come away with stronger self-awareness, better relational footing with their teams, and a sense that they are no longer guessing their way forward. If you want to grow as a leader in the middle of real pressure, Todd is the partner you want in the room.
