Meet Wes Dove

Wes Dove is a nationally recognized thought leader, author, and trainer with a proven track record of helping organizations across every industry improve productivity and profitability. Working alongside his wife and business partner Cindy, Wes equips supervisors, managers, executives, and owners with practical tools to build stronger, values-based cultures and best-in-class leadership environments that attract top talent and deliver measurable results.

Wes is a Certified Human Behavior Consultant and a Certified Trainer, Speaker, and Coach through Maxwell Leadership, holds a professional SHRM-CP credential, and — through Dove Development & Consulting — is an approved recertification provider with SHRM and HRCI and a DPOR-approved provider for Virginia apprenticeship programs. He was named one of Real Leaders' top 80 Executive Coaches worldwide in 2025, and Wes and Cindy were each recognized as Real Leaders' "Top Impact Speakers," two of fewer than 100 worldwide; Dove Development & Consulting also received the Global Golden Business "Emerging Star Award" in late 2025.

Wes is the author of three Amazon #1 best sellers — What's KILLING Your Profitability? (It ALL Boils Down to Leadership!) (2024), Leading With A Clear Purpose (2025), and The Values Advantage (2026) — and is completing his fourth solo book, Leveraging Leadership Growth, expected in late 2026. He and Cindy are also co-authoring Dove Development & Consulting's forthcoming "Advantage" series: The Direction Advantage, The Communication Advantage, The Leadership Advantage, The Growth Advantage, and The Experience Advantage.

Outside of helping teams capture lost profitability through stronger leadership, Wes enjoys time with his children and grandchildren, their rescue dogs, and Florida's Gulf Coast.
