"Ron’s unique orbital perspective not only inspired our very international and diverse audience, it also put things into perspective, big time."
A thirty-year career in the US Air Force and NASA has given Ron a unique perspective on how teams function under stress.
Ron has been a member of several high-performing teams in combat, during high-risk test flights, and in dealing with life-or-death aircraft emergencies—which have forged a process to turn stress into performance. Ron merges those lessons with his entrepreneurial and corporate executive experience, providing unique insights for organizations facing tough challenges.
Imagine if you were one of only six hundred people to see the Grand Canyon— or to see a flower. How would you describe that awe and wonder to the rest of us?
Starting from a foundation of awe and wonder changes everything. It is the “secret sauce” that opens the mind to new ideas, connections, and creative solutions. Ron uses the magic of awe and wonder to inspire your team and your mission and to encourage new alliances.
The idea of strapping yourself to a rocket filled with 4 million pounds of explosives forces one to learn and accept new technology.
Many of the problems facing organizations today have technological solutions. However, we can’t just slap a technical Band-Aid on a problem and expect it to go away. Success occurs when we take a holistic approach to technical solutions. Using real-world examples, Ron navigates the benefits and unintended consequences of technology in an increasingly interdependent landscape.
Ron launched into space with a belief that we already have all the resources and technology necessary to solve many, if not all, of the problems facing our world. He spent much of his free time on the space station pondering the question “If that is true why do so many problems still remain?”
One of the main answers to that question is that a significant part of our planetary population is excluded from the problem-solving process. When we connect more than 7 billion creative, problem-solving minds into a global conversation, we will find solutions we never dreamed of, coming from places we’ve never heard of. Ron applies this macro strategy of inclusion to the problem-solving process of organizations, big and small.
“Ron’s opening keynote talk perfectly framed the rest of our offsite. True collaboration requires us to step outside of our comfort zones in order to embrace innovative approaches. Ron was able to articulate the value of our specific function to the rest of the organization, as change happens through people.”

“A wonderful call to shift our point of view from local to global, from myopic to orbital. This consciousness-altering, ego-dissolving, mind-reconfiguring experience renders our common purpose clear: we are the frontal lobes of this Pale Blue Dot and we need to leverage our collective genius to overcome our challenges and unleash our potential. Bravo!”

“Ron was a tremendous inspiration to our global health students and faculty at Duke. His global perspective and message that ‘nothing is impossible’ resonates with audiences young and old.”
Director | Duke Global Health Institute
“Uniquely and intellectually engaging. Ron has a way of sharing his experiences in space and on earth without bravado, but instead with a unique humility and perspective about how we can all participate in making the world a better place. He is truly inspirational and it is impossible to walk away without having engaging conversations and a new view of the fragile oasis we all share.”
