Dream Like A Champion

In a time when organizations and schools are under intense pressure to change, Dick Durrance, the only photographer ever named Magazine Photographer of the Year and Advertising Photographer of the Year, shares dazzling pictures and amazing adventures as he inspires executives, professionals, and students to embrace the changes they face as opportunities to grow.

What you take away from the humorous, and inspiring, keynote presentation titled Dream Like A Champion are three ideas for seeking the possibilities in your life:

1. Always keep looking for your natural talents and develop those talents into skills with unrelenting tenacity.

2. Venture out from your comfort zone and connect with people from all walks of life, people who can expand your horizons.

3. Journey deep into your self to that private place where your core values live, so you can harness your natural strengths to your core values.

• Change is inevitable. But, your destiny is not locked down because you decide how you are going to respond to that change. You can let it overwhelm you … or you can embrace change as an opportunity to grow:

• That’s what champions do. • That’s what leaders do. • That’s what you can do.

• Dick’s father, a legendary ski champion, taught him that very few people will ever be lucky enough to actually be a champion but everyone can dream like a champion because, ike a champion, everyone can choose to be best that they can be, even when they know they are not likely to be the best in the world.

“Destiny is not a matter of chance. It is a matter of choice.” William Jennings Bryan
