DAVE BOLTON KEYNOTES
KEYNOTES THAT HELP TEAMS PERFORM WHEN PRESSURE
IS REAL
Dave Bolton delivers powerful keynote experiences that combine lived adversity, elite performance and practical frameworks to help leaders stay calm, take ownership and execute when everything changes.

SIGNATURE KEYNOTE
DEFIANCE RISING THROUGH ADVERSITY
This is Dave’s foundational keynote. A powerful, emotional and practical talk built around military service, elite sport, catastrophic injury, covert policing, terminal cancer and the decision to keep moving forward when life gives you every reason to stop.
But this is not a talk about surviving.
It is a keynote about pressure, identity, ownership and the standards people need when the plan breaks.
