"Aviate, Navigate, Communicate"
Dave Fellman is unique among your many choices for a keynote speaker. He was a highly successful sales & marketing speaker/trainer/consultant with hundreds of speeches and seminars to his credit, long before surviving the airplane crash which provides the core of this dynamic keynote address. He has a proven ability to connect with an audience, and over the past 10 years, he has helped tens of thousands of small-business owners and employees to maximize their potential.
In 1999, while piloting his own his own single-engine airplane, Dave was confronted with an in-flight engine failure. He immediately implemented the aviators emergency mantra...Aviate, Navigate, Communicate: maintain control of the airplane, pick an emergency landing site and fly toward it, and communicate with any internal and/or external resources who might be able to help. The story of his glide toward safety-and of the actions he took when a construction vehicle pulled out from nowhere onto his intended touchdown site-will hold your audience riveted to their seats. The story of how he recovered from his injuries will teach them something about the value of hard work.
But that's not the only "moral" of this story. The real lesson is in the way Dave ties Aviate, Navigate, Communicate to the challenges of modern business and modern life. No matter how bad your situation may seem, he'll explain, the best strategy is to Aviate (maintain control of the things you can control), Navigate (determine the direction toward a better situation and make and follow a plan to get there), and Communicate (with family, friends, employees, co-workers, customers, or any other any internal and/or external resources who might be able to help.) This is an important message, delivered by a speaker who has truly "been there!"
