What do you do when there is no playbook, no guarantee of success, and no room for error?
As Pilot of NASA's historic Artemis II mission, Victor Glover helped lead humanity's return to deep space for the first time in more than 50 years, embarking on a journey more than 250,000 miles from Earth into an environment defined by uncertainty. Drawing on his experiences as an astronaut, naval aviator, test pilot, and military leader, Glover reveals how individuals and teams can build confidence when outcomes are unclear, adapt when circumstances change, and stay focused on a mission larger than themselves.
Audiences leave inspired to embrace uncertainty not as an obstacle to overcome, but as the very place where innovation, growth, and extraordinary achievement become possible.
The most effective leaders are not the ones who seek the spotlight. They are the ones who create the conditions for others to succeed. Throughout his career as a naval aviator, astronaut, and pilot of NASA's historic Artemis II mission, Victor Glover has learned that extraordinary achievements are never the result of individual talent alone. Whether leading complex flight operations or helping humanity return to deep space, success has always depended on teams united by trust, accountability, and a shared mission.
In this inspiring talk, Glover explores the principles of servant leadership and reveals how leaders can bring out the best in their people by listening first, empowering others, and creating a culture where every team member understands how their contribution advances the larger goal.
