Out of Thin Air

Create and connect dots
for outsized impact

.

Exceptional results seemingly arise out of thin air, but in reality they result from innovative thinking and disciplined execution.

Keynote speakers Chris Donohoe, a highly decorated former Tier 1 Special Operator – one of only three recipients ever of the US Special Operations Command Dick Meadows Award for Heroism, and Hunter Albright, PhD, distill decades of experience across military and corporate environments into instantly-applicable mindsets, behaviors, and tools to produce exponential results.

Operating in an information driven industry, I found their stories and recommendations inspiring and immediately applicable to how we think about our team and strategy.

Key Lessons

1. Curiosity Drives Consumption

The path to exceptional results begins with curiosity.

2. Consumption Drives Performance

Our actions are a result of the information that we consume.  Be purposeful in the consumption of content to develop skills and improve performance.

3. Trust Enables Flexible Action

The development of trust across a team enables fast flexible action.

4. Action Drives Intel and Learning

Commitment to consistent action drives intelligence gathering and ongoing learning.  Both are critical to long-term success.

Great operators create opportunity in dynamic and complex environments

General Stanley McChrystal is widely credited with revolutionizing warfare in the aftermath of 9-11 by fusing intelligence and operations — leading more than 150,000 troops through a virtual command base. Former U.S. Army Tier 1 Special Operator Chris Donohoe served at the forefront of this revolution as a member of one of the world’s premiere counter-terrorist organizations, where he and his teammates produced outsized results across the globe.

Now with Dr. Hunter Albright, they now facilitate an eye-opening discussion in which they share practical tactics for successfully leading organizations through crisis learned by studying the best practices of special operations and how they can be applied in other environments. Their insights on how groups can accelerate operational effectiveness in their own environments can be applied by any organization.

Chris and Hunter’s mission is to help companies unlock greater opportunities through the “creation of dots” and development a culture that embrace dynamic environments as opportunities for improvement through application of proven mindsets and disciplines.

Whether you book a live event or a customized Virtual Experience, leaders get fired up and focused, teams improve their execution and employees scale the heights to peak performance.
