And oh what stories Dale and his list of speakers can tell!
In 2003, Dale Hartsfield became the family spokesman for the Hartsfield family when the City of Atlanta decided to rename the airport Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. The Controversy prompted Dale to write, “What is a Name?” Although not an author, he wanted to express his views and his perspective on the names that have been used for the “worlds busiest airport”.
Dale Hartsfield is a native of Atlanta, growing up near the airport. He enjoys public speaking at both Christian and secular events, covering subjects from the Hartsfield name and his family’s connection to the Atlanta Airport to divorce, living in a blended family and inspiring others to never give up on life’s challenges. He is a man of integrity and high moral character who strives to live according to his strong beliefs and principles. His unique style of storytelling combines his experience with instruction, suspense and humor.
Hartsfield International Speakers provides quality speakers for your business, civic group, Church, or charity events in the metro Atlanta area. Dale Hartsfield can provide other top speakers or speak himself on a variety of topics. His favorite topic is his family heritage and the connection his family has to the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. His book, “What’s In A Name?”, was published in November of 2014. “What’s In A Name?” reveals a fascinating insight into the name changes of the Atlanta airport. The Second Expanded Edition of Dale’s book came out on, February 22, 2021 — the 50th anniversary of Mayor Harstfield’s death.
After the 2003 name change of the Atlanta airport, I wondered, “Why has the name changed five times in less than 100 years?” What were the reasons behind all the name changes? Through the years there were many different city officials who had the opportunity to make a name change and they did. Why did they feel it was necessary to make any change? In my book, I explore the many facets of these decisions. From my perspective, I attempt to unravel the story behind the great airport. Hartsfield was a city alderman when the airport was first named Candler Field. He was the mayor of Atlanta when it was named Atlanta Municipal Airport. After his death, I believe it was rightfully renamed for William B. Hartsfield, for he was known as the “Father of aviation in Atlanta.”

Leadership gets talked about a lot, but it’s often misunderstood. Being the “boss” doesn’t automatically make someone a leader. In my leadership talks, I focus on what real leadership actually looks like serving your people, building trust, and creating an environment where teams can thrive and accomplish a shared purpose together.
