Own your role · Elevate your team · It starts with you
From Power 4 college football teams to Fortune 500 companies, entire communities, and first responders, Conrad Hawley delivers a motivational experience unlike any other.
With a story that's as engaging as it is inspiring, Conrad shares how he transformed fear into action, learned to add value in every role, and discovered that building a winning culture starts with you — and the daily choices you make.
Audiences leave motivated, empowered, and ready to take their next step toward personal and team excellence.
Conrad has delivered keynote presentations and leadership programs for multiple Power-4 Division I athletic programs, Fortune 500 companies, and prestigious academic institutions nationwide. He is a trusted annual event speaker for leadership summits and professional conferences, and has worked with executive boards, first-responder organizations, city councils, and community groups — bringing high-performance, purpose-driven insights to audiences all across the country.
My "why" is rooted in serving and challenging others to become the best version of themselves, for their own growth and for the strength of their chosen group. My journey from a dual-sport Power Five athlete to a motivational speaker has been shaped by adversity, humility, and hard-earned lessons in accountability — all of which I now translate into practical frameworks that people can apply immediately.
I am NOT in this to sell a book, a course, or to get famous. I'm in this to make A REAL impact. I live what I teach, and I'm committed to helping people lead with honesty, show up with discipline, and pursue their purpose with clarity.
My work is built on authenticity, transparency, and a relentless pursuit of growth — because leadership is not a concept; it is what we've been called to do.
We were fortunate to have Conrad spend an afternoon with us here at Kansas and speak to our leadership council. His message about leadership, self-discipline, and being a great teammate resonated perfectly with our young men. Conrad did an outstanding job of sharing a message that we try to send daily, but he did it in an extremely relatable and digestible way for our young men. I look forward to bringing him back very soon to speak with our team again!
