Dream Like A Champion

In a time when organizations are under intense pressure to change, Dick Durrance, in a warm and humorous keynote presentation titled Dream Like A Champion, provides you with ideas on how you can embrace the changes you face as opportunities to grow … without losing touch with your core values.

What you take away from the talk, which features stories and images from his assignments as a National Geographic staff photographer, are three ideas for embracing change as opportunity:

1. Never let up on looking for your natural talents. When you develop your talents into skills with unrelenting tenacity, opportunities open up, and you and your business grow.

2. Venture outside of your comfort zones and connect with people from all walks of life who can expand your horizons.

3. Journey deep into your core so you get to know yourself well enough to distinguish with confidence between what you and your organizations want and what you need.

• Change is inevitable. But, your destiny is not locked down. You decide how you are going to respond to the changes you encounter. You can let change 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. Like a champion, everyone can choose to be best that they can be, even if 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
