“ABOVE THE RIM” – ACHIEVING SUCCESS 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.

Three Learning Outcomes:

  • Recognizing our potential limitations, seen or unseen, physical, mental, emotional or habitual
  • Identifying strategies and actions that allow us to continue on in spite of our limitations
  • Distinguishing the effects of habits and decisions on future failures or successes

“GAME PLAN” – DEFINING YOUR DESTINY . . . DEFEATING YOUR DIFFICULTY

The late Jim Rohn once said, “Life is difficulty mixed with opportunity.” This powerful statement stands true and applies to all people both professionally and personally. Therefore, the key to ongoing success and continual improvement is to develop the mindset of both service and survival.

In this presentation, Dave shares principles that lead the audience down a pathway of both victory and resurgence. From the “Tip Off” to the four quarters of established principles and motivating narratives to the “Victory Party”, this five-hour program is great for an all-day company retreat, ongoing sessions at a multi- day conference or even a pre-conference workshop.

Whether enjoying our own “Game-Winning 3” moments or creating our pathway to “Rebound” from adversity, it is vital to develop an effective “GAME PLAN”.

Three Learning Outcomes:

  • Defining the essential ingredients in the achievement of a fulfilling career and balanced life
  • Recognizing and being prepared for the inevitability of change
  • Identifying seven principles to achieve or recapture success in the face of uncertainty
