Keynote Descriptions

Conrad Hawley teaches leadership as a daily lifestyle built on discipline, consistency, and authentic service. Drawing from his “C.E.O. Leadership Lessons,” he shows leaders how to win the day through small, intentional habits—starting with 6–0 mornings, eliminating blame/excuses/negativity (“No BCD”), and bringing competitive energy into every room they enter. His message emphasizes that true leaders are the best listeners, celebrate others relentlessly, and understand that leadership is legacy—it’s about who you become and the impact you leave behind. Through powerful stories, practical frameworks, and the philosophy of servitude, Conrad equips individuals at every level to lead with humility, courage, and unwavering authenticity.

Conrad brings an elite teammate’s lens to building winning teams, teaching the same principles that shaped his Power 5 football and Division I basketball career. In his “Elite Team Mechanics” framework, he breaks down how strong teams are built through shared habits, honest communication, role ownership, and deep connection away from the court or office. From eating together and investing in one another daily, to embracing adversity with a “GOOD” mindset, Conrad shows how unified teams outperform talented but disconnected ones every time. His approach transforms groups into cohesive, selfless, mission-driven units where everyone leads, everyone belongs, and everyone elevates the standard.

Conrad helps audiences uncover a purpose that drives action, discipline, and long-term fulfillment. Using his three-step process—creating a personal purpose statement building “Mentors & Inspirations” page, and defining daily habits—he guides people to align who they are with who they want to become. Drawing from “The Secret’s to Life,” including the battle with the inner voice, Marcus Aurelius' philosophy, the 6 P’s, and the difference between champions and the losers, Conrad reveals how purpose is the foundation of confidence, resilience, and stewardship. His message empowers individuals to live intentionally, silence self-doubt, and step boldly into the life and impact they were designed for.
