“We booked Dave last April for our Annual Conference – he was outstanding and appealed to a broad demographic at one of our sponsored breakfasts for approximately 350 attendees. Dave’s messages were on point and his delivery was upbeat, fun and entertaining. I found Dave and his wife to be great people with wonderful, core values that came through not only with me personally, but also with our sponsor and the attendees. I don’t hesitate in giving Dave a strong referral and have confidence that he will listen intently to your goals and objectives and deliver a solid, on-point presentation.”
~Joel Dandrea, CEO, Specialized Carriers and Rigging Association

“I know I shared this with you before but I loved your talk and message. It was both thought-provoking and inspiring. I am an educator of 25 years and an ex-college football player. I have heard a lot of “pep” talks on my journey and this ranks up there with the best of them. I have even embarked on a journey of personal and spiritual growth and my journal where I capture my thoughts and reflections is entitled the “GAME WINNING THREE”. Thanks again!”
~Brian Baca, Assistant Superintendent, Los Lunas Schools

SPEECH TOPICS:

 

The Game-Winning 3: A Roadmap for Professional and Personal Development
Success can be defined in its simplest form as making life better for someone else. Whether it comes in creating a better product, helping to relieve someone’s stress or pain, bringing someone laughter or joy or helping someone get more out of their life, success is always about serving. This being the case, the key to success in any business lies not only in the development of great products and services, but more importantly in the development of great people. In this insightful presentation, Dave Davlin shares three essential ingredients for developing a purpose-driven mentality to achieve a fulfilling career and balanced life.

This presentation is an hour of interaction, humor, audience participation mixed with a powerful message. It is a roller coaster ride of emotion that will find the audience engaged in hilarious laughter one moment and brought to tears the next. The audience will be challenged to make the most of every moment in order to develop themselves personally and professionally while creating value and making a difference in the lives of others.

MAKE IT COUNT” – Uncovering the Strategies to What Matters Most
In his presentation “The Game-Winning 3”, speaker/author Dave Davlin shares that the scorecard of true success is built upon three elements … The Person You Become, The Memories You Create and The Difference You Make. “MAKE IT COUNT” is the sequel as it takes the audience into a deeper understanding of what is required in terms of action and mindset in order to accomplish a life and career of purpose, fulfillment and contribution. In this eye-opening presentation, Dave leads the audience through a nine-step journey of self-discovery and mastery… a journey toward extraordinary results. “MAKE IT COUNT” uncovers the strategies and steps necessary to identify, pursue and experience what is truly most important.

“ABOVE THE RIM” – Achieving Sucess Despite Limitations
In everyone there exists the potential to achieve excellence. Each of us has unique skills and innate abilities that can lead us to success and fulfillment both personally and professionally. Unfortunately, however, we also possess certain traits, habits and even beliefs that often prevent us from reaching our true potential and experiencing life to the fullest. Whether manifested in the form of a physical or mental limitation, an emotional or psychological affliction, or even an imagined encumbrance, such handicaps sabotage the pursuit of our goals and desires in ways that may be hidden to us. In this inspiring and impactful presentation, Dave Davlin shares how he identified and refused to be limited by his own obstructions—and reassures audiences that even though limitations exist in many forms, we do not have to be limited by them.
