Travels from:Hasard Lee
Lt. Col. Justin “Hasard” Lee is a Wall Street Journal bestselling author and keynote speaker who helps organizations build cultures of ownership and improve execution through change and uncertainty. He has delivered keynotes for organizations including Microsoft, Meta, IBM, Lockheed Martin, Medtronic, and KPMG, speaking to audiences ranging from senior leadership teams to thousands of employees at major corporate conferences. Recent appearances include Medtronic’s annual sales conference, KPMG’s leadership conference alongside Adam Grant and Serena Williams, and Marvell Technology’s senior leadership conference.
Hasard Lee’s keynotes draw on an extraordinary career as an F-16 and F-35 fighter pilot. He flew more than 80 combat missions before being selected to fly the F-35 and later served as the Air Force’s F-35 Chief of Training Systems. Those experiences became the foundation for his Wall Street Journal bestselling book, The Art of Clear Thinking, and the leadership and execution system he now teaches organizations around the world.
Known for combining memorable stories with an actionable system, Hasard Lee customizes each keynote around the organization’s real challenges. He works with leadership in advance, engages directly with audiences rather than speaking from behind a podium, and gives teams a shared language and repeatable framework they can begin applying immediately.
