Speaking

Tom Hardin’s keynotes tell a real story from inside Wall Street and the choices that changed his life. Known to the FBI as “Tipper X,” Tom became the youngest cooperating witness in one of the largest insider trading cases in U.S. history. Today, he shares what he learned about pressure, culture, and how good people can lose their way. Tom’s talks connect ethics to everyday behavior. He helps audiences see how ambition, silence, and fear can cloud judgment, and how organizations can build cultures that encourage honesty before a problem starts. Every keynote is shaped around the audience. Whether speaking to a corporate team, university, or professional conference, Tom brings authenticity, humor, and insight that make the message stick. 

 

Popular formats include: 

  • Keynote presentation (30–60 minutes) with optional Q&A 
  • Fireside chat or interview format 
  • Interactive ethics workshops and small-group sessions

On-Demand Learning & Certification

Some organizations prefer to bring Tom’s story and lessons to their teams through flexible, self-paced learning rather than a live speaking engagement. His on-demand courses deliver the same human story and behavioral insights in a digital format that can reach employees anywhere, at any time. Each course uses real examples from Tom’s experience to explore how pressure, culture, and rationalization can lead to poor decisions, and how to recognize those moments before they happen. The modules combine storytelling, reflection, and practical takeaways that help employees connect ethics to their own daily choices. Organizations can license the existing courses or work with Tom to create a custom “Tipper X Certification” or annual ethics update tailored to their business. These programs are designed to make ethics training memorable, relatable, and lasting. 

 

Use cases include: 

  • Ethics and compliance training for global teams 
  • Annual conduct or certification refreshers 
  • Leadership and culture development programs 
  • Pre-recorded sessions for hybrid or remote workforces

Advisory Services

Tom works directly with organizations that want to strengthen their ethical culture and improve decision-making at every level. His advisory work focuses on the human side of compliance: the pressures, blind spots, and behaviors that policies alone can’t reach. Through confidential conversations, small-group sessions, and leadership roundtables, Tom helps teams identify where cultural or performance pressure can distort judgment. He works with executives, compliance officers, and managers to build trust, encourage open dialogue, and create practical guardrails that reinforce integrity in daily operations. Leadership training is often at the heart of these engagements. Tom guides senior teams through real-world scenarios, exploring how leadership tone, incentives, and communication shape culture. The goal is to help leaders recognize ethical pressure points before they escalate and to set a visible example of accountability and transparency. Advisory engagements can be short-term or ongoing and are tailored to each organization’s needs. 

 

Advisory focus areas: 

  • Ethical culture and conduct risk 
  • Leadership training and roundtables 
  • Communication strategies that reinforce values 
  • Compliance training design and refresh

” Tom’s talk was impactful on many levels, but the greatest takeaway transcended securities, -it was on how we should address the gray areas of day to day life and to give hard through on our decisions, impact on our ethics.”

“The general consensus in the room was that Tom would be one of the best speakers we’ll see in our two years on campus.”
