You Have the Power, Be the Change
This inspiring keynote challenges audiences to recognize their ability to create meaningful change, even within systems that feel resistant or broken. Retired Police Chief Jason P. Armstrong shares powerful lessons from leading reform efforts in Ferguson, Missouri, and from stepping into some of the most difficult and scrutinized leadership roles in modern policing. His story shows what it takes to repair trust, restore stability, and drive transformation in environments where progress is not just needed, but demanded.
Through honest storytelling and practical insight, Jason demonstrates how one person can influence culture, elevate those around them, and ignite progress from any position. Participants leave with renewed belief in their own capacity to lead change, along with actionable strategies they can apply within their teams, organizations, and communities. This keynote is a compelling call to action that moves people to lead boldly and become the change their environment needs.

Participants will leave with:
A clear framework for recognizing opportunities to create meaningful change, even in environments that feel resistant or overwhelming.
A deeper understanding of how self-confidence fuels courageous leadership and the ability to influence culture from any position.
Practical strategies for activating an empowerment mindset that drives action, resilience, and positive momentum.
Insight into the importance of “leading up,” including how individuals can inspire progress and support reform regardless of position.
