About Justin Hale

I’m passionate about helping people and teams do their best work while being the best humans they can be. Over the past 18+ years at Crucial Learning, I’ve designed and co-authored courses used by hundreds of the world’s top organizations (Fortune 500 and beyond). I’ve built training for Getting Things Done®, Crucial Conversations®, Crucial Accountability, Crucial Influence, The Power of Habit, and Crucial Teams (SDI). My work has been quoted and featured in Harvard Business Review, Fast Company, Bloomberg, Fox Business, and CNBC. Today, most of my energy goes into authorship, media interviews, and thought leadership—helping organizations rethink culture, accountability, teamwork, and productivity. I write regularly for the Crucial Skills newsletter subscribers). My focus: making research practical, making learning experiences engaging, and making work… actually work.
