Chris Hadfield

Described by Harvard Business Review as “an astonishing display of visual storytelling,” Chris Hadfield’s keynotes leave audiences energized and equipped with tools to lead with clarity and courage.

Colonel Chris Hadfield is one of the most accomplished and recognized astronauts in the world—an International Space Station commander, fighter pilot, bestselling author, and global thought leader on leadership, change, and high-performance teamwork. With decades of experience navigating complex, high-stakes environments—both in orbit and on Earth—he brings unparalleled insights into managing through uncertainty, adapting to change, and inspiring excellence. 

A former NASA Director of Operations in Russia and astronaut on three space missions, Hadfield’s resume includes building space stations, walking in space, and commanding a multinational crew aboard the ISS. Today, he serves as an advisor to SpaceX and Virgin Galactic, co-founded the Space Stream at the Creative Destruction Lab, and works with King Charles III on sustainable space business practices. 

A bestselling author and musician, Hadfield released the first album ever to be recorded in space; it includes a video version of David Bowie’s “Space Oddity,” which Bowie himself called “possibly the most poignant version of the song ever created,” and which has been viewed over 75 million times.  

Hadfield’s keynote talks blend science, adventure, and human connection—reminding us what’s possible when we stay curious, embrace change, and lead with purpose.
