A common challenge for organizations today is helping their employees bring more energy to work and not only embrace change but see it as an opportunity to lead.
Dan Thurmon believes the reason that people struggle with change is they think they have to compartmentalize their life and keep everything in balance. 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?
In this keynote, Dan excites his audience with an interactive performance while giving them a multi-dimensional view of success. He doesn’t stand behind a podium and talk about dealing with fear and change – he does handstands on the podium to demonstrate what being uncomfortable and living off balance on purpose actually looks like. Your audience will talk about this presentation for years to come!
As a result of attending this program attendees will:
• Learn to take ACTION when it is uncomfortable.
• Manage energy and time more effectively.
• Adopt an Off Balance On Purpose approach as a realistic
and empowering way to excel at work and life.

Come enjoy a donut and some conversation with Dan Decker, President & CEO of TTIA. Donuts with Dan is an informal communication format that Dan has used very successfully for most of his career. His intent with this time is to listen to members and answer any questions members may have. The only requirement is that you ask a question, even if that question is “may I have a donut?”
Gene Phillips Memorial, Clara Wuest Heidemann, and Heidemann Wuest Scholarships to be presented during luncheon.
