High-Stakes Performance Whisperer

My live performance blends powerful storytelling, deep psychological insight, and high-stakes experience—grounded in over 30 years as a stuntman and more than a decade as a performance psychology consultant for the U.S. Army. I don’t lecture—I engage. Audiences leave with tools they’ll remember and use when the stakes are high. I work with corporate leaders, teams, and professionals—as well as educators, students, first responders, and performers—tailoring each talk to the demands of their world. My FACTs™ framework (Focus, Arousal, Confidence, Tenacity) blends performance psychology with Eastern philosophy to deliver clarity without oversimplifying. I’m the author of Begin Again: Utilize the Wisdom of Eastern and Western Ideologies to Achieve Your Full Potential and creator of keynotes like Dispel the Illusion of Stress, Flow Under Fire, Drive Is Not a Feeling, and Always on the Path. This isn’t inspiration for its own sake. It’s clarity, direction, and strategy—for when it counts.

"Reading Begin Again, by Brian Hite, has become a habit that I have no intention of breaking. I love the format of having a couple of pages of inspiration and motivating ideas that bring me back for each day’s new reading. Brian delivers a distinctive combination of encouragement and challenge that works to create new perspectives on defining and achieving your personal success. This is one of those few books that I truly would recommend to everyone as an excellent resource to find more satisfaction and success in both your career and your personal life."

“I always thought pressure was just part of the job, but Brian changed my perspective completely. His explanation of why pressure is an illusion clicked immediately, and the tools he shared for staying calm and focused are things I’ve already started using. With his extensive experience in high-stakes situations, he delivers advice that’s both relatable and credible.”

"I’ve been a stuntman for 40 years and run Stunt Performers Academy. For the past 18 months, Brian Hite has delivered a powerful 2-hour keynote to every student group. He speaks with clarity and insight, offering real tools for managing fear and other challenges in the stunt world. Brian brings a stunt performer’s perspective and delivers it in a way that’s engaging, relevant, and easy to apply. I highly recommend his keynotes and plan to keep him in the program."
