SMARTER NOT HARDER
Based on the book, Smarter Not Harder, these presentations use Navy SEAL maxims to illustrate universal principles that everyone, regardless of position or industry, can use to improve their business and life. Dynamic stories from combat and training illustrate the key topics. Examples of topics include deliberate thinking, cutting through the noise, teamwork, and contingency planning. There are multiple presentations that focus on different maxims. Contact me for your tailored presentation.
DECISION MAKING
Using stories of combat and training, this dynamic and informative presentation covers the fundamentals of decision making learned over 20+ years as a Navy SEAL. Key topics: End State, Gathering Information, Decision Test.
GLOBAL THREAT OVERVIEW
A fast paced, insightful and unfiltered look at the current global threat picture. Drawing on extensive experience in the tactical, operational, and strategic arenas, I break down what matters today and how it will affect you tomorrow. A significant portion of the presentation is an open Q&A forum.
TOWN HALL
This unique presentation is mostly dedicated to question and answer. The first 20 to 30 minutes is a presentation on the training you must go through to become a Navy SEAL. After that, it is an open forum Q&A. This presentation works equally well with or without a moderator.

"In 15 years as a Meeting Planner, Dave Sears delivered perhaps the most powerful message our group has ever heard. The members of our Association are still talking about his presentationSears’ reflections on his time as a Navy Seal and the leadership skills he learned sent a clear message to the attendees on what it means to be an effective leader and how to transition lessons learned in one aspect of life to other aspects. I hope to utilize Sears as a keynote at future events."
