You know that picking the wrong speaker can be disastrous
People are counting on you to make it successful, but how can you tell if a celebrity can't command the stage, or a newbie with a slick website can deliver?
Even the most experienced meeting planners mistakenly hire a speaker that bombs, or get seduced by the next bright shiny topic.
What happens if the agenda slips, or you realize too late that the speaker doesn't fit the theme?
Are you feeling uncertain or anxious about whether your attendees leave energized with immediate take-home value?
What If There's a Better Way?
Remove doubts, risks and uncertainties by making sure your next speaker is:
- Validated: Don has been awarded the Millennium Award and Top Performer Award by the largest CEO organizations in the world. He is also bestselling author with an Amazon hottest-new release recognition.
- Experienced: Don has presented at over 1,700 events across 5 continents. He has not only trained thousands of CEOs, but implements what he teaches . . .
Yes. Let that sit for a moment.
Here's a speaker that doesn't just speak, but implements his work in many industries with a money-back guarantee.
- Fresh: Audiences consistently find Don's speeches remarkably different and memorable because of the unique, rare insights. Beyond an amazing keynote, Don reveals eye-opening moments from his Himalayan, Asian, and African expeditions. Your audiences discover knowledge never before published or seen with other speakers.
- How to lead differently using genetic, evolutionary triggers.
- What drove the high market penetration of Alexander, Ceasar, Genghis Kahn, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, and Richard Branson.
When your audiences get exposed to this, they'll feel it was worth their time and money to attend your event.
- More Than Just a Motivational Speaker. Gone are the days when just hiring a motivational celebrity works. In addition to an inspiring and entertaining speaker, your speaker needs to be a subject matter expert. Don’s background in training thousands of CEOs and working with multiple industries makes him a proven resource.
- Provides Immediate Take-Home Value. Today, competitive alternatives to your event are just a few clicks away. If your audience is going to invest in your conference, they want to walk away with immediate application ideas for impacting results in their life and business. Don delivers. Attendees take what they learn and immediately implement to grow their performance, sales, and their lives. Just ask the 15,000 executives who've heard him.
- Impactful, Engages and Entertains. Interaction is the most notable, even memorable factor, for audiences. Don's speeches engage audiences with exciting questions, posed dilemmas, and group participation as he masterfully shares his stories from real business successes. Don's dry and irreverent sense of humor has audiences laughing out loud. Your attendees will be glued to their seats.
- Customizes and Tailors Your Speech. Don knows that research and customization are critical. He tailors his work to serve your audience with unique application value and relevant education delivered in a highly entertaining way. Don studies your audience to customize his program for maximum impact, and works with your team pre-event as needed to help tune the agenda, introductions, workshop flows, and other event elements. He even adapts as needed before the event to ensure an amazing event.
- Flexible. An effective speaker knows how to stay on time and on topic, even when plans change. As a seasoned speaker, Don, on the fly, knows how to convert a 45-minute presentation into what now has to be a 30-minute presentation, and does it without the audience knowing the difference.

What else would you expect from an MIT and Johns Hopkins researcher who was nearly arrested as a capitalist spy in the Soviet Bloc, got shot off an aircraft carrier, survived in the Kurdish capital as Tehran held hostages, was the first white person brought into an African Tsonga village, and developed missile inertial guidance systems while his frat brothers took Vegas (later portrayed in the movie “21”)?
