High-Stakes Performance Whisperer

Brian Hite

What if pressure isn’t something we face—but something we create? In this powerful presentation, stuntman and performance psychologist Brian Hite shares high-stakes stories from Hollywood sets and military training grounds to reveal a surprising truth: pressure doesn’t come from the moment—it comes from us. With insights drawn from decades of experience, Brian dismantles the myth of “pressure situations” and shows how our focus on imagined outcomes creates the very thing we fear. Through compelling stories and practical wisdom, he offers three mindset shifts that free us to perform at our best—especially when the stakes are high.

Flow Under Fire: Dispel the Illusion of Pressure

Always on the Path is a powerful, story-driven keynote about navigating uncertainty, redefining failure, and finding meaning in the mess. Drawing on his experiences as a stuntman, performance psychologist, and resilience educator, Dr. Brian Hite dismantles the myth of the “right path” and shows how real growth happens inside the chaos—not after it. This talk invites audiences to rethink what it means to be “off track” and to embrace awareness, acceptance, and action as tools for staying in motion—especially when life doesn’t go to plan. Through personal stories, hard-won insights, and a surprising amount of laughter, Brian makes one thing clear: the path isn’t out there—it’s right where it's always been...under your feet.

Always on the Path

"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."

Joe Calloway

“Dr. Hite is a skilled teacher, educator and trainer. He has a unique ability to command a room, tell a powerful story, and translate what you need to walk away with to do, live, and be better.”

KaLea Lehman

"Working with Brian Hite was eye-opening. His ability to challenge our thinking and guide us toward creative solutions made a lasting impact. He’s not just a speaker or coach—he’s a catalyst for real change."

Michelle Quinones

“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.”

Mike Farber

“Brian has a unique way of breaking down pressure. His mix of real-world stunt experience and psychology gave us practical tools to face high-stakes moments head-on. The focus on what we can control was exactly what we needed.”

Doug Coleman

"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."
