About Trident Leadership Group
Our Mission
Empowering leaders and veterans to thrive beyond the uniform by sharing lessons in leadership, resilience, and service through consulting, seminars, subscription services, and speaking engagements.
Our Vision
To become the premier leadership-development partner for veterans and organizations; helping successful transition, workplace integration and building stronger, purpose-driven teams.
Who We Are
Trident Leadership Group was founded by Jeff L. Gonzales, a former Navy SEAL with over 20 years of operational leadership experience, followed by two decades dedicated to veteran-focused environments. Jeff understands both the demands of high-stakes missions and the challenges of transitioning into the civilian workforce.
Through his journey, Jeff developed an authentic voice grounded in real-world special operations, veteran transitions, and leadership in dynamic settings — now applied to help both veterans and civilian leaders excel in demanding work environments.
