Dustin Parvin is a retired U.S. Army First Sergeant and former Ranger School Instructor with over 20 years of experience leading, training, and evaluating performance in high-pressure environments. His work focuses on leadership, discipline, and decision-making under stress, shaped by years enforcing uncompromising standards where failure was binary and consequences were real.

Dustin is the author of Progress Under Pressure, a leadership framework that challenges perfectionism and teaches leaders how to maintain standards without burnout, breakdown, or loss of identity. His talks help leaders, teams, and organizations replace rigid perfection with disciplined progress, using failure as data while preserving accountability, performance, and culture. His approach is practical, structured, and grounded in real-world experience, not motivational hype.
