The business challenge

What challenge does this experience solve?

Dane has faced death threats, watched a company’s share price fall 97% while he was CEO, and led more than 20 restructurings in which between 10% and 30% of the team lost their jobs. But resilience is not only tested in the boardroom. Every person is eventually knocked off course by setbacks, uncertainty, disappointment or loss.

The experience

What happens during this experience?

What separates those who recover and move forward from those who remain stuck is rarely confidence alone. It is the habits they rely on when life becomes difficult. Drawing on his own experiences and the practical tools he has shared with clients, Dane explores the connection between grit and resilience and shows people how to reset, regain perspective and take the next step. This keynote combines powerful personal stories with practical approaches anyone can use in their work, relationships and everyday life.
