Customer Reviews

Erik F. Director of Events, Zones LLC

“Darren was terrific. In fact, I just received a phone call from a senior executive telling me that Darren was one of the best speakers he had ever heard. He brought energy, empathy, humor and insight to all, even those without a love of the game (or the Cowboys!). He engaged in a friendly banter with our leader, agreed to throw footballs into the audience, recognized one of our employees for her work with Diversity & Inclusion, and stayed after making sure he got to every last person waiting for a photo, autograph and wanting to tell their story. He even did a video for someone who requested it!”

Darren Woodson

Super Bowl champion offers insight into creating a culture of excellence

Described by the Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones as “dependable, reliable, and unselfish,” Woodson embodies traits for building a culture of excellence. During his keynote address, he encourages the audience to adopt an intense work ethic, which includes a team-first mindset.

Selected by the Dallas Cowboys in the 1992 draft, he debuted in a season opener against the Washington Redskins and finished the rookie season leading the team with 19 tackles on special teams and one defensive sack. As his career progressed, Woodson continued to impress. By 1996, Woodson accepted an $18 million, six-year contract, which included $5.4 million as a signing bonus. Collecting high tackle numbers, sacks, and interceptions, Woodson continued his consistent, successful play, which led to a $20 million contract and $5 million signing bonus in 2001.

Woodson’s career ended in 2004, after surgery from an injury sustained during a workout. By 2005, he bounced back into the limelight as an analyst for ESPN. He remained with the sports network for 14 years until retiring in 2019. Throughout Woodson’s storybook career, he’s shown a willingness to work unselfishly toward a successful team dynamic. He shares relationship, business, and team-building tools to audiences in an entertaining and captivating keynote address.
