Using acrobatic demonstration, Dan Thurmon will reveal how to take charge of your circumstances, stretch your abilities, and create a blueprint for success! Dan believes the reason that people struggle with change is that they believe they have to compartmentalize their life and keep everything in balance. But what if we lived Off Balance on Purpose? What if instead of resisting uncertainty, we leaned into it? And what if rather than bringing our “work-self” to the office, we brought 100% of who we are? This dynamic presentation incorporates acrobatics to teach you to embrace uncertainty, rediscover your inner greatness, conquer self-imposed limitations and initiate positive changes that lead to growth.
