Dave’s Topics

History tells us there is a 7 step pathway that all leaders will follow to lead an intentionally meaningful life.

What is the real question and how can we easily understand how to live a purposeful life.

Dave and Michela Phillips address the challenges organizations face with corporate culture, often stemming from generational work style gaps and a lack of understanding between generations. Their presentation, a playful mix of hard-learned lessons from a millennial daughter and boomer father, focuses on creating a collaborative work environment and fostering inter-generational communication and integration. This unique team-building event offers practical solutions and tools that can transform your culture and be applied year-round.

Vision is seen as an ethereal, impractical, foggy concept that ends up meaningless both individually and corporately.

This interactive program explores the importance of having a purpose, mission, and vision in both personal and professional life. Leaders will discover how aligning these elements with roles, goals, and tasks can create a fulfilling, regret-free life and lead to lasting business success. Participants will learn to distinguish between purpose, mission, vision, and goals, and understand how they work together to create a clear, actionable path. The session encourages deep reflection on key questions like « Why am I doing this? » and « Where am I going? » By the end, participants will have crafted a life-changing Purpose statement that can guide both personal fulfillment and business success.
