    Topic: More Influence. Bigger Impact. How Smart Leaders Choose Better.

    Speaker: Jason Hunt

    Overview: Today’s leaders are moving faster than ever yet feeling further behind than ever. Urgency is constant, attention is fractured, and decisions are made under relentless pressure. As a result, influence is eroding, mistakes increase, and opportunities for real impact are missed.

    This transformative message reveals the antidote: discernment — the rare leadership ability to slow down, tune in, and choose better in ways no AI ever will. Leaders will learn how to cut through the noise, notice what truly matters, and choose responses that elevate people and performance. Grounded in science, fueled with humor, and made practical with everyday strategies, this keynote equips leaders to make better decisions, read situations more accurately, and influence in ways that create real, lasting impact, even in a world that refuses to slow down.

    Key Takeaways:

    Why It’s Great for HR Leaders:

    • Improves decision quality under pressure

    • Reduces reactive leadership, unconscious bias, and emotional escalation

    • Builds a sustainable human advantage in an AI-driven world

    • Decreases mistakes and increases creativity and innovation

    Jason A. Hunt is a leadership speaker, author, and thought leader who helps leaders slow down, see clearly, and choose better under pressure so they create bigger impact and more influence when it matters most. He has worked with more than 35,000 leaders across organizations large and small, equipping them to move beyond authority into influence that actually sticks. Jason’s journey began at 19, leading a church group of 100 people in outer Siberia. Since then, he has served in a wide range of leadership roles, including as a school principal, where he failed miserably. Those experiences shaped his belief that titles and good intentions aren’t enough.
