           Speaker: Dave Davlin

”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 combines the principles of his signature keynote
“The Game-Winning 3” with the principles of his keynote “Rebound” to lead
the audience down a pathway of both victory and resurgence.

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”.
