Is your organization paralyzed and fueled by relentless uncertainty! In these unprecedented times adversity introduces us to ourselves. No one knows how strong we are until being strong is our only choice, especially in our ‘Remote Economy.’ Dan recovered from a football injury that left him paralyzed. His intense journey to recovery was pinnacle in defining his roadmap for success and becoming an expert in resiliency. : • Attendees will learn: • Dan’s steps of Resiliency that create a mindset shift from just setting goals to knowing how to up level their focus to belief and purposes. • How to face their fears, develop active coping skills, and create a strong moral compass. • Once we identify our ‘why,’ figuring out the ‘how-to’ becomes clear & simple. • Participants exit with a specific plan to make continuous improvement a daily activity, so they can always respond to rapid change. Mindset Take-A-Ways: Attitude is everything – The glass is never half empty or half full – half filled or half spilled – it’s Refillable!

Dan teaches the purpose of a leader is to grow more leaders who believe what you believe – not generate more followers. In this way, everybody feels like a valued ‘influencer with a voice’ who will lead with and without a title – regardless of age, race, gender or experience. Dan uses his three step A.R.T. acronym, to: • Increase Awareness of current personal and organizational ‘core values’ and teaches the culture of any organization is created between the strongest belief, highest expectation and best behavior the leader lives by – and the weakest belief, lowest expectation and worst behavior the leader tolerates; • Refines the ways in which you prepare yourself and others for greater responsibilities by increasing self-worth, perfecting performance, cultivating the proper image and managing your exposure to decision makers; • Delivers a Transformational plan that creates a culture of Significant Partners who hold themselves accountable and care as much about the organization as the leaders do. Mindset Take-A-Ways: Leadership is not a noun, it’s an action verb – it’s not assigned, it’s earned; It is not enough to say, ‘I will do my best.’ We must succeed in doing that which is necessary!

How to Network & Influence Through Speaking & Storytelling Dan has been teaching the Law of Attraction for years and explains we don’t attract who we want – we attract who we are – we attract what we believe we deserve. Because we become the average of the five people we associate with the most, in order to attract extraordinary associates, we must first be an extraordinary human being and inspiring to be around. Steve Jobs said, “The most powerful person in the world is the storyteller who unlocks a shared dream.” Warren Buffet said, “Mastering public speaking is the #1 skill to boost a career and raise your personal value by 50%.” • Attendees will learn the Speakers Triangle that dissects communication into three questions: Why should I listen to you? (credibility) Can I do it too? (possibility) – How do I do it? (usability) – knowing people don’t care how much we know until they know how much we care. • Attendees will leave knowing how to craft and tell a powerful story equipped with the skills required to choose the right story at the right time to release endorphins, dopamine, oxytocin or serotonin to influence why and how people take action! Dan teaches his tools that helped him become a master storyteller so you can connect with your employees, customers and audience’s with emotion, empathy and influence.

When everyone makes safety a priority through increased Trust, Mutual Respect, SelfDiscipline and Service Before Self, employee morale and productivity increases to drive improved profitability.
