Dave Mitchell Biography
Dave Mitchell Speaking Topics
One of Dave’s most requested programs, “The Power of Understanding People,” provides the tools to understand each participant’s own unique communication and leadership style. This info-filled, energizing training event provides an ideal combination of strong content, laugh-out-loud humor, and audience interaction. Attendees discover the cornerstone of high performance and tips for enhancing communication, teamwork, employee engagement, customer service excellence, and influence. This program was named the Meeting Madness Winner 2013 for best event of the year by Meeting Professionals International at the World Education Congress in Las Vegas. In December 2013, the book of the same name was released and was immediately named Best Business Book of the Month by Amazon. It is now available as an interactive webinar!
Attendees will walk away energized with strategies for applying the following insights:
• An understanding of their own strengths and vulnerabilities as a leader, team member, and communicator
• An ability to better understand the intrinsic needs of others and how to best engage them, build more effective relationships, inspire them to peak performance, meet their service expectations, and influence them.
• Better communication skills to apply in all relationships in their life
• Content can be tailored to leadership, sales, teambuilding, or customer service themes
This powerful program focuses on the leadership characteristics that are the foundation of the most successful organizations worldwide. Attendees will discover the behaviors embodied by leaders that instill a desire in others to perform at a high level while avoiding environmental stress and burnout. Notable in the content is that these are behaviors, processes, and approaches that are easy to replicate, not nebulous values that can be subjective and hard to manifest. They are designed to help all leaders drive a successful ideology throughout the organization, delivered in Dave’s “laugh and learn” style. The content is from Dave’s book, "Peak Performance Culture: The Five Metrics of Peak Performance Culture," released in September 2020 and represents data collected from over 1000 organizations over the last 25 years.
Even before the life-altering changes brought about by the global pandemic, chronic stress had become a public health threat. Today, that threat is more severe, leading to heart disease, hypertension, digestive distress, mental health challenges, and other potentially life-threatening disorders. Minimally, chronic stress interferes with our quality of life and happiness. But is stress bad? The answer is a resounding “NO!” Stress is an important part of our physiological response to life’s demands. The problem is most of us have never developed a comprehensive strategy for using sudden stress effectively as a performance enhancement tool while avoiding the damaging effects of prolonged, chronic stress. Dave breaks down the origins of stress, distinguishes between sudden stress, chronic stress, and burnout, and maps out a strategy for liberating us from the toxic consequences of being the victim of stress rather than the victor.
Imagine combining laughter, wine tasting, and applied cognitive psychology into one high-energy event. In this highly interactive, 60-minute session, you will learn your leadership/communication style, obtain strategies for becoming even MORE effective in delivering and receiving information, and taste some delicious wines! A traditional wine-tasting event can be stodgy, pretentious, and boring. A class on applied cognitive psychology? No, thank you! But in the hands of Dave Mitchell, named one of the top speakers of 2015 by Meetings and Conventions Magazine, you will laugh and learn about both!
Are you similar to a complicated Chateauneuf du Pape from France? Or are you more the unconventional Petit Verdot from Walla Walla, Washington? Maybe you communicate like a charming Spanish Cava, or you are direct and big like a Napa Cabernet Sauvignon. Whatever your style, there is a wine that behaves just like you, and Dave will identify the wine that best reflects the way you communicate. Perfect for team building, ice-breaking receptions, or improving group communication while having fun and learning about wine.
Part of Dave’s award-winning The Power of Understanding People series, It’s the Issue, Not the Person, focuses on an easily learned methodology to resolve common interpersonal conflict that naturally arises between individuals with different communication styles. Using Dave’s “laugh and learn” approach to adult education, participants will learn a step-by-step methodology for addressing conflict. Additionally, the course identifies the most common causes for these conflicts, toxic behaviors that exacerbate their negative impact, and how to become more comfortable having positive conversations around the cognitive diversity that inevitably creates friction between team members. This invaluable course empowers team members to address their own conflicts with co-workers, family, and friends and reduces the need for leaders to play referee at work.
