Dr. Lexus Drakeford, PhD, MPH is a leadership educator, speaker, and former healthcare operations executive who helps people move intentionally through the in-between seasons of life and work.

A Navy veteran with a doctorate in leadership studies, Dr. Drakeford is known for translating complex ideas into clear, practical frameworks that people can actually live by. Her work centers on purpose-driven self-leadership — helping individuals, teams, and organizations stay the course long enough to build something meaningful.

Through keynotes, workshops, and the Major Z framework, she equips people to navigate uncertainty, sustain momentum, and lead themselves with intention — not just in moments of change, but over the long haul.
