Biography

Lieutenant Colonel (retired) Jason O. Harris is a highly sought-after keynote speaker, bestselling author, expert thought leader, and professional pilot.

As a fourth–generation military member, Jason’s distinguished career in the US Air Force spanned nearly three decades. He served (continuously) on active duty and as a member of the Air Force Reserve Command from 2001 through 2023, with his last assignment as a flying Squadron Commander. After graduating from the United States Air Force Academy, he flew multiple aircraft over the course of his career, including 11 deployments with more than 2,000 combat hours and 470 combat sorties around the globe.

These high–risk combat experiences have all been the launching point for his proprietary “No Fail Trust®” methodology. His proven methodology serves organizations and teams as a tool to empower executives and team members to foster an environment of mutual trust, responsibility, and productivity.

Lt. Col. Harris is a nationally recognized keynote speaker in the areas of Leadership, Corporate Culture, High-Performance Teams, and Psychological Safety. He has shared his expertise with numerous high–level associations and Fortune 500 companies, including Cisco Systems, Caterpillar, Ford, and Lockheed Martin. Additionally, his insights have been featured in publications like Forbes magazine, multiple podcasts, and, most recently, in the History Channel show, Bermuda Triangle: Into Cursed Waters.

While his impressive resume continues to grow with accolades, achievements and contributions, Jason remains steadfast in his commitment to serve. Leveraging his experience and work alongside the most senior military leaders, Congressional Leaders and even the Vice President, Jason Harris‘ mission is clear–to relentlessly dedicate himself and those he serves to develop a culture of commitment, accountability, and trust.

Jason delivers! We hired Jason to keynote a virtual event in 2021. His message, delivery and enthusiasm was top-notch. He also agreed to do a pre-conference networking session where he helped lead a trivia session about the U.S. Air Force. We received numerous comments from attendees remarking how strong his address was. I highly recommend that you consider Jason.

Jason is a gentleman of great depth, talent, and empathy. And, as a keynote speaker, he truly shines in his ability to connect before, during, and after the presentation. His focus on trust couldn't be more prescient as we search for what's needed to solve a few "small" crises.
