What do you want from a keynote speaker or workshop facilitator?

Whether you’re part of a planning committee, or the individual making the decision, you’ve got a lot of risk.  Questions like these may ramble through your brain:

• How can we be sure our learning objectives are met?
• Will our team or delegates have a great experience and gain valuable take-aways they can apply in their professions?
• Will we experience a great return for our investment?
• Is our presenter credible, knowledgeable, engaging, and entertaining

Shucks, let’s be honest.  What you’re really thinking is this:  I sure hope this guy doesn’t suck.

You’ve got a tough job, but maybe this will help you make your decision.

People Say Speaker Dan Ohler is Different

If you want a 3-piece suit, degrees, credentials up the ying-yang, and a jargon-filled PowerPoint, I’ll be blunt: I’m not your guy.

If you’re looking for grassroots rural values, authenticity, honesty, and expertise in relationships – let’s talk.  I’m the same guy in your conference room as I am when you meet me in the grocery store, my home, or high on a mountain ridge.  Know what?  I’d be thrilled to meet you in any of those places.  And by the way, I’m going backpacking in the Rockies this summer – want to come along?

Methodology for Change

When I work with you and your team, I’m not looking for standing ovations, and I won’t likely get them.  The principles I’ll share are simple and effective.  There will be lots of humour, energy, and interactivity, because I believe people learn best when they are engaged and having fun.  But I’ll poke some buttons too!  I’ll challenge your team to “think outside the barn” and apply the principles NOW.   Application is key.

If the buzz phrase, “Corporate Social Responsibility” is floating around your office, my message will help you make positive change in regard to caring for your employees, their families, customers, community, and environment.  There tends to be a domino effect.

“The positive impact of your keynote presentation is still resonating throughout our organization. All of the feedback we have received has been overwhelmingly supportive – it is most encouraging and heartening to have that positive reaction. Thanks again for your part in a most memorable first all-staff meeting for Parkland County. An exceptionally high bar has been set for future events.”

Pat Vincent, CEO, Parkland County

Carol Ohler – A Gifted Facilitator & Other Half of the Team

You’ll find Carol to be an extremely gifted facilitator and I’m honoured to be a part of her team, in business and as her husband.

As we work together, it adds a special dynamic to your team’s learning because you get 2 very different behavioural styles in your facilitators.  We’ll connect to everyone in the room.  And we model something very powerful at an unconscious level – a husband and wife communicating effectively, and working together as a team.  Our world needs more of this, wouldn’t you agree?

Couples Programs for your primary Relationship

When you attend one of our Couples Programs to enhance your relationship with your life-partner, you’ll have both of us to guide and support you on your path to excellence.  You won’t find that with traditional counsellors or therapists.

Carol also has a passion for creating sustainable Community Development, particularly in rural communities.  She’s got the knowledge, wisdom, and experience to give you a program to ignite your community leaders, and grow new leaders for long-term sustainability. She’s done it in our community, she’s coached other communities, and she can help you in yours.
