NMA LiveOnline "Building Culture the NASA Way" with Brady Pyle

November 12, 2026 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM (EST)

Description

Drawing on three decades of leadership experience at NASA, Brady explores what it takes to build a culture where people thrive under pressure, pursue ambitious missions, and stay deeply committed to a shared purpose. Through compelling stories and practical leadership insights, Brady reveals the mission-critical principles behind NASA’s culture of trust, accountability, innovation, and resilience. He shares how he applied this framework to a different non-profit science learning center over the past three years. Audiences will leave with a clear framework for strengthening leadership, navigating change, and building high-performing teams that can succeed in even the most demanding environments. 

Learning Objectives 

Participants will learn how to: 

•Apply NASA-inspired principles to create high-performing, mission-driven teams

•Navigate how their organization’s culture was shaped by critical events 

•Assess the strengths and barriers within their current organizational culture 

•Strengthen leadership capabilities through leaders who consistently model values, accountability, and trust 

•Activate a culture of inclusion and innovation as drivers of engagement and performance
