Four critical stages of building are metaphorically detailed: Forming a plan This is a seminal message applicable for anyone in any field of business. A follow-up breakout session is also available to help attendees personalize the message. Teamwork: The Power of Some Over One Some of David’s greatest success, memories, and learning experiences during his three-decade tennis career came when he was part of a team: NCAA team champions at Stanford, Wimbledon Over 35 Doubles champion, U.S. Davis Cup team member, and head coach of the University of Minnesota men’s tennis team. Game-tested principles that lead to successful teamwork in sports are the same ones that are paramount in the office. In this important presentation, David shares examples, both positive and negative, from his many team experiences – as a player and a coach – and articulates three qualities that team members must possess in order to maximize “the power of some over one.” Change is Hard: How to Enact it in Your Own Life Becoming more disciplined, thinking more positively, executing under pressure. We all know that changing for the better is difficult; otherwise, everyone would be healthy, wealthy, and wise, right? Yet, there are three steps that David Wheaton has discovered and applied that can turn “stagnant” and “apathetic” into “improving” and “fulfilled”. The War of Worldviews on Campus and in America and What’s at Stake It’s been said, “Ideas have consequences.” We all have a worldview, a personal collection of beliefs, ideas, and thoughts on life. College is a time where that worldview is solidified, where one goes from parental to personal values. What are the different worldviews on campus today and where do they lead a person? As the author of a popular book on college and the host of a radio program on worldviews, David brings clarity to this important question. Helping Junior be a Champion On and Off the Field What does it mean to be a champion? Is it all about wins and losses and personal records? While David Wheaton knows that winning is the goal, growing through the process is the real purpose of sport. After decades of experience in sport, let him share with you lessons he’s learned about helping Junior be a champion on and off the field. Testimonials: "David: Your "Building a Champion's Home" presentation at our President's Club last Saturday evening was not only highly enjoyable (loved your stories and tennis racquet demonstrations!), but also profoundly important and impactful. In founding and presiding over Metro Sales since 1969, I can say from experience that your four fundamental steps to becoming a champion are absolutely vital. It's true: successful and fulfilled employees are the key to a "champion" business. On behalf of Metro Sales, thank you!" Jerry Mathwig, President, Metro Sales, Inc.
"David – your approach to winning was fantastic and very relevant to my audience of financial professionals. The ability to guide your listeners in discovering what motivates them to perform was truly a highlight of our workshop. Your message on being satisfied with your performance whether you win or lose – was one that resonated with our workshop participants. In a world of self-gratification and an attitude of ‘what have you done for me lately’ this was a very meaningful message." Scott Yeomans, National Training Coach, RBC Dain Rauscher "Our company desired a keynote speaker with the discipline of a professional athlete to talk about setting goals followed by execution. David met that criterion perfectly with a polished, encouraging and uplifting talk. He smoothly incorporated our meeting's theme into his presentation and delivered it with passion and enthusiasm. I would earnestly recommend him." Charlie Mitchell, CEO/President, Motion Control Group, Inc.
