Known as “The Wingman,” Lt Col (ret.) Waldo Waldman is the author of National Bestseller Never Fly Solo. He helps organizations build collaborative cultures of trust, courage and commitment in order to adapt to change, break performance barriers, and overcome adversity.
In addition to his time in the military, Waldo has real world corporate sales experience and is an expert on change management and resilience – having overcome a fear of heights and claustrophobia to achieve his dream of becoming a fighter pilot. His compelling stories and tactics on overcoming adversity, performing under pressure and servant-based leadership are extremely relevant to organizations who are going through disruptive change and seeking to build a “One Team, One Mission” culture of excellence and trust.
Waldo Waldman is a graduate of the U.S. Air Force Academy and also holds an MBA with a focus on Organizational Behavior. He is an inductee into the Professional Speakers Hall of Fame, and is the founder of The Wingman Foundation whose mission is to build funds and awareness for veterans and their families in need.

MISSION OBJECTIVE: Deliver an inspirational keynote or half-day safety leadership seminar that focuses on creating a courageous culture of operational excellence, safety and trust.
KEY DELIVERABLES:
• Instill a climate of ownership in every employee so that they feel accountable, committed and responsible for their safety and success.
• Share leadership tools and techniques that can be employed to motivate employees to pursue operational excellence at work and off the job.
• Help foster an organizational culture where change, collaboration, and innovation are embraced with courage and leveraged as a competitive advantage to enhancing safety.
OVERVIEW:
In the world of the fighter pilot, complacency kills. A failure to adhere to standards, maintain discipline and follow procedures not only can cause aircraft mishaps, but it can also cost lives. The same holds true in a factory, plant, or on a dangerous worksite. Employees who lack attention to detail, focus, and discipline can make mistakes which can negatively impact safety, productivity, operational excellence, and trust. In some cases, it can cost lives. The key to building a high-performance organization that encourages operational excellence, effective communication, and a relentless commitment to safety lies with its leadership.
In this high-energy program, Waldo shares tools and techniques on how to build cultures of trust, accountability, and courage. What results is a more productive, efficient and safe organization with superior morale that can rapidly overcome challenges in constantly changing and competitive environments.
Waldo will share proven leadership principals based on his experience as a seasoned Air Force safety officer, combat decorated fighter pilot, and experienced businessman. Following Waldo’s program, the audience will learn
peak performance leadership and safety enhancing tools based on three key concepts:
I. Commitment to Excellence: Every wingman in your organization must know exactly what and who they are fighting for. They should emulate excellence on and off the job and understand how their unique role in the organization is essential to its safety and success.
II. Values Based Culture: Integrity, accountability, mutual respect, and teamwork must serve as the foundation for all relationships between employees, partners and clients.
III. Effective Communication: Leaders listen intently and communicate their safety vision with passion. They promote two-way communication and connect with the hearts of their wingmen.
MISSION OBJECTIVE: Assist in creating a collaborative culture of trust, commitment, and mutual support that will promote growth, adapting to change, and innovation. A focus will be on core values, accountability, open communication, and teamwork.
KEY DELIVERABLES:
• Instill a “One Team-One Mission” climate of team ownership so that every leader feels fully accountable for the success of the mission. Transformational leaders never fly solo.
• Share tools that can motivate the members of your leadership team and their staff to collaborate more effectively, adapt to change, and face adversity and conflict with courage.
• Assess leadership strengths and weaknesses and learn tactics for personal and professional growth that will give additional leverage for building high-performance teams.
The key to building a high-performing organization that encourages innovative thinking, adaptability to change, effective communication, and a relentless commitment to excellence lies with its leadership. In this high-energy, interactive program, Lt. Col. Waldo Waldman highlights the difference between managing others and leading them to be responsible, empowered, and confident wingmen. What results is a more productive and efficient organization with superior morale that can rapidly overcome challenges, adapt to change, and compete more effectively.
Waldo will discuss proven leadership principals based on his experience as an AF Academy graduate, decorated fighter pilot, and seasoned businessman. A relentless passion for the mission, collaborative teamwork, and a commitment to courage are a few key elements of this engaging and highly interactive seminar.
Attendees will learn leadership tools based on four key modules:
I. Attitude of Excellence: To facilitate change and transformation, a leader must first believe in the mission and be fully committed to personal and professional growth.
II. Shared Vision: Every wingman must know exactly what they are fighting for and where they are headed. Not only must they be committed to the mission, but they must also understand exactly how their unique role is essential to the organization’s success.
III. Values Based Culture: Integrity, accountability, service, and teamwork serve as the foundation for all relationships between employees, partners, and clients.
IV. Effective Communication: Leaders must listen empathetically and communicate with respect. Most importantly, they should command excellence from each other and not demand it. Great leaders promote open dialogue and create an environment where mission critical feedback and constructive conflict is appreciated and expected.
“Waldo’s knowledge of the company and ability to place our current chal- lenges into context, showed how much time, research, and planning he put into his performance. He sounded like a seasoned UPS employee! His infectious attitude carried over to the audience and was undoubtedly the highlight of this year’s conference.”
“With recent changes in our leadership and organizational structure, Wal- do’s “One Team, One Mission” message was a perfect way to emphasize collaboration between our territorial sales reps, managers, and account specialists. His focus on accountability, preparation and resisting com- placency reinforced our focus on sustaining a high-performance culture.”
“Waldo completely exceeded our expectations. We were familiar with his work with other Verizon divisions, and based on previous testimonials, expected him to deliver. Needless to say, not only was his message out- standing, but he also delivered a great experience for our leaders.”
“I wanted to commend you on the exceptional job you did speaking at our Americas sales conference last month. It’s no small task to keep a 500 person audience from 23 countries engaged for an hour and a half but you did it! The advance preparation you did to understand the audience and our organizational challenges really impressed the attendees…”
“As a company in the process of driving major change, we needed a speaker who could help us focus on selling and working as a team. Waldo’s “trust your wingman” message went right to the heart of that concept. His energizing messages about perseverance, strategy, teamwork, and sales execution are ones that any true sales professional will take to heart. I couldn’t be happier with his program.”
“Your message transcended across the 100 top leaders of our global audience and inspired them to action. This was your second engagement with Delphi and you certainly did not disappoint. Still today, your motivational phrases continue to energize, and we are reminded to engage our fellow wingmen and create a culture of mutual support.“
