Kevin DeShazo Speaking Topics

  • Keep Chopping Wood: An Ordinary Approach to Extraordinary Success

    In a drive-thru culture where everyone is looking for the shortcut or the life-hack, the only way to truly get better is to embrace the work and be consistent. This talk walks through the process of creating the necessary change in your life, team and organization in order to unlock your potential and accomplish your goals.

    Attendees walk out both inspired to get better, but also confident that they have been equipped with the necessary tools to accomplish their goals.

  • Into the Storm: How to Turn Adversity Into Your Advantage

    Life isn't designed to be easy. Adversity does not discriminate and will eventually hit every one of us. What we do in those moments matter. Like cows, will we run away from the storm in fear and, as a result, make things more difficult while losing progress? Or, like bison, will be have the mental toughness and resilience to go into the storm and do what we need to do to get better?

    Attendees will leave this talk inspired to take on the challenges of life, understanding the importance of mental toughness and how to build it for the moments where life demands more from us.

  • How to Be A Leader Worth Following

    Leadership used to be about what you knew and your title. Today, everyone has access to information. And title no longer carries the weight it once did. Which means people don't have to follow us. If you want to be a great leader, you must be someone that people actually want to follow. In this talk, we break down the Sherpa Mindset and what it means for leaders to not only be healthy enough to climb the mountain, but to also lead others up the mountain.

    Attendees will leave with practical tools that they can use immediately both with themselves and their teams in order to become a better leader and build a better culture.

  • Discover Your Leadership Voice

    Your Leadership Voice is your superpower. And if you don't know it, you are leading with one hand tied behind your back. This session walks through our 5 Voices framework to help people raise their level of self-awareness, understand what they bring at their best as a leader and teammate, and be confident in who they are.

    Attendees will leave with more awareness, more confidence, and a plan to be at their best each day.

  • Live Your Purpose, Not Your Fear

    Are you living your fear or your purpose? Most people, if they are honest, are living lives that are dictated by fear. From major decisions around career and family, to smaller decisions like not speaking up in a meeting, fear is too often the driver. The cost? Your potential.

    In this powerful talk, we talk about how to identify and overcome fear in order to live a life of purpose.

    Attendees will live inspired, motivated, and changed, with a plan to implement in order to overcome fears and live intentional lives.
