David Guenthner Speaking Topics

  • The Fighter Pilot Performance Cycle

    Fighter pilots, Navy Seals, Green Berets, and other elite military professionals are well known for their outstanding success on the battlefield. There is a reason for that unparalleled level of achievement • the process we use every day, week, month, and year to improve and increase our likelihood of success.

    This session will provide the tools, techniques, and procedures that elite, high-performing teams utilize to achieve results in volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous environments.

    The Fighter Pilot Performance Cycle is an agile methodology that allows teams to create cohesive strategies and plans, focus on achieving results while mitigating task saturation, and hold a debriefing session that prioritizes learning and growth toward our next operation. This process has been translated to the civilian world, and Finch has successfully shared and implemented this methodology with hundreds of clients worldwide.

  • It's not who's right...it's what's right!

    After every flight, fighter pilots perform their most important ritual they hold a debrief. In the world of high-stakes aerial combat, pilots must improve and develop continuously. The debriefing methodology is an essential step in that growth. A debrief isn't a meeting or a review of what happened.

    A fighter pilot debrief is structured so teams can quickly identify opportunities for individuals, teams, and organizations to improve rapidly. The outputs of a debrief are 'lessons learned'.

    These 'lessons learned' are articulated and describe specific actions or improvements. Finch will teach your team about the debriefing concept, demonstrate an example, and even lead your team through a real-world debrief of a recently executed project or mission.

  • High-Performing Teams

    Finch has worked with some of the greatest teams in the world • elite military organizations like fighter squadrons and Navy SEALs, Fortune 500 executive leadership teams, and professional football teams. Throughout his experience, he has identified what he believes are the three most common traits of high-performing teams.

    In this session, Finch will provide examples of these traits in action. He will then connect them to the specific situations that your team faces. He will provide actionable steps toward improving your team's performance and culture and create buy-in from participants.

  • Overcoming Task Saturation

    There is one thing that stands in the way of a perfect flawlessly executed mission or project. And that's performance-draining task saturation or task overload. Task Saturation is the perception or reality of having too much to do and insufficient time, tools, or resources to get the job done.

    This is the most common challenge that most attendees are currently facing, and Finch does a great job of identifying and addressing their concerns. He will show the real-world dangers of task saturation in the high-stakes world of aerial combat and provide three techniques that fighter pilots use to recognize and mitigate task saturation on their teams.
