Chris Hadfield - Speaker

Colonel Chris Hadfield, regarded as the most famous astronaut since Neil Armstrong, has become a global sensation. As the commander of a spaceship, he exemplifies exceptional leadership skills. With the complexity of the vehicle, the international team, and the crew's independent operations, the stakes are at their highest, including significant financial consequences and life-or-death situations.
Over his impressive career spanning 25 years in the Royal Canadian Air Force and 21 years with the Canadian Space Agency and NASA, he has developed and refined theories and practices in leadership that have propelled him to the top. Chris is a uniquely experienced leader who can help your team enhance their leadership abilities.
He combines fundamental leadership principles with original insights, drawing from his own experiences as a top test pilot in the US Navy, NASA's Director of Operations in Russia, NASA Astronaut Chief of Space Station Operations, and as Commander of the International Space Station.
Renowned for making outer space accessible to millions and instilling a sense of wonder in our collective consciousness, akin to the awe felt when humanity first set foot on the Moon, Chris continues to share the marvels of science and space travel with everyone he encounters.
