BRANDON'S MISSION:

Brandon helps leaders transform their teams into high performing, high reliability organizations by harnessing the same tools used by US Air Force Fighter Pilots. Leveraging his work in Human Factors and human performance research, his methodology equips leaders to organize, lead, and operate effectively in volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous (VUCA) environments where human error is prevalent.

''As the Chair of the Iowa Association of Business and Industry, I had the privilege and responsibility to select our keynote speakers for our annual Taking Care of Business Conference, which is attended by over 500 business leaders from across the state of Iowa. I selected Brandon Williams because of his diverse background, including military experience, commercial airline pilot, and consulting company owner.

Brandon's message was powerful. He leveraged stories and audience participation to communicate how to lead through times of uncertainty, complexity, and chaos. He was able to take his military experience and relate it to the challenges we face every day, in every business. He provided a framework and tools to help leaders navigate dynamic situations. I was particularly impressed with his approach to a Just Culture, where your organization drives toward a learning culture, not a blame culture.

I would highly recommend Brandon as a keynote speaker."

- Kim Augspurger, Board Chair, Iowa Association of Business and Industry
