Jason Harris

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.

I've had multiple leaders come to me to say they'd like to keep the convo around trust going on the heels of the momentum Jason created.

– JEN YINGLING, Senior Analyst, Emergent BioSolutions INDIA

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.

– Anthony Demangone, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, National Association of Federally-Insured Credit Unions (NAFCU)

This is a great reminder of the importance of building trusting relationships, prioritizing the people you love most and creating special moments on a regular basis.

– Christine Switzer, Vice President, Fidelity Philanthropic Consulting

Inspirational! Jason closed our first virtual conference last month and he nailed it! Trust has never been a more relevant topic and our nearly 500 attendees loved his personal story and inspirational message. Jason is an absolute gem to work with. He's accessible and inquisitive and works hard to tailor the message to your audience. I would highly recommend him to any organization or professional group that is looking for a fresh perspective and an inspiring story!

– Tracy Burns, CEO, Northeast HR Association

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.
