All keynote topics can be customized to fit the specific needs of your organization or audience. These are Dan’s most frequently-requested topics.

Overcoming Obstacles

It’s easy to say, "I want to succeed." Committing to overcoming all obstacles in pursuit of that success is a different message entirely. In this presentation, Dan will detail his story from novice to gold medalist – including an accident that nearly claimed his life – to demonstrate how individuals and teams can overcome the seemingly insurmountable by: 

• Anticipating obstacles

• Goal setting with intention 

• Strategic planning 

• Relentless pursuit of success

What It Means to Commit

Every successful person is a dreamer, but not every dreamer is successful. You have to wholeheartedly commit to a goal; to go beyond good intentions, believe success is possible, and want it badly enough to make it happen. In What It Means To Commit, Dan will share lessons he’s learned across his career to help you:

• Make the decision to claim your dream

• Build momentum

• Motivate changes in your life

• Find the courage to fulfill the dream

Achieving Peak Performance

Performing at the top of your game is both a process and a skill. While your performance improves with practice and training, the ability to consistently perform at your peak is a honed skill. Dan draws on his 45 years in the sport of skydiving, more than 32,000 jumps, multiple gold medals, and several world records to convey how individuals and teams can: 

• Make your best better

• Beat back complacency

• Harness self-confidence while staying humble

• Perform anywhere, anytime, under any conditions

Redefining the Meaning of Team

What does it really mean to be on a team? What does it take to be a great teammate? As a highly-decorated competitor, charismatic leader, and one of the most in-demand coaches in the world, Dan will answer these questions in a simple, precise manner and put your team on a path to success by showcasing:

• High performance teams are built, not formed

• Committing to the pursuit of a goal is critical

• Collective success demands answers to hard questions

• Efforts to victory are not excuses for failure
