Keynote SpeakersJas Hawker is a former Red Arrows Leader, keynote speaker and high-performance leadership expert who helps organisations build trust, lead through change and create resilient, high-performing teams when the stakes are highest.
In business, as in aviation, the most important decisions are rarely made in comfort. They are made under pressure, amid uncertainty and when the consequences matter. At 600 mph, there is no pause button. The best teams prepare before it matters, build trust before it is needed and learn faster than anyone else.
What sets Jas apart is that he has not simply studied leadership, teamwork and high performance – he has lived them. From flying fast jets at over 800 mph and performing just metres from other aircraft to leading complex multinational programmes, his experience comes from environments where trust, communication, decision-making and flawless execution are critical.
Leading High-Performing Teams Through Change
One of Jas Hawker’s most powerful insights is how to maintain high performance during periods of change and transformation.
Every year, the Red Arrows replace three of their nine display pilots, yet the team is still expected to deliver the same world-class performance from day one. There is no settling-in period and no lowering of standards.
Jas reveals the leadership behaviours, trust, preparation and learning culture that make this possible. He translates these lessons into practical strategies that organisations can use to navigate transformation, integrate new people, accelerate learning and maintain performance through uncertainty.
Through compelling stories, stunning video and practical tools, Jas shows audiences how to:
- Build trust before it is needed.
- Maintain high performance during change and transformation.
- Lead with clarity and confidence under pressure.
- Create a culture of learning, accountability and continuous improvement.
- Make better decisions in uncertainty.
- Build resilient, high-performing teams.
- Improve teamwork, communication and collaboration.
Authentic, engaging and immediately practical, Jas combines the extraordinary world of the Red Arrows with highly relevant lessons for today’s business leaders and teams.
Audiences leave inspired, but more importantly, equipped with proven strategies they can apply immediately within their own organisations.
