The Motivational Speaker and Team Builder
 
David Miln Smith is a multi-faceted entrepreneur.  Few others, if any, have the wide variety, diversity and longevity of athletic adventures in the most exotic and sacred places on the planet.
 
Most athletes and adventurers hone specific skills to high level excellence.  While confidence comes from skill, courage comes from learning to manage fear in first-time experiences.  Smith has faced that kind of fear.  He’s literally put his life on the line, many times, and along the way become an authority on managing fear and overcoming self-imposed limits.
 
David the Speaker
David says:
"I believe we are at our very best when we are pushed up against our personal limits, to be completely engaged. To pay attention, and to deliver.  We are alive, focused, flowing and sometimes fearful.  To survive and thrive, we must meet the challenge."
Motivational speaking comes naturally to David Miln Smith. His lack of inhibition and sense of humor, coupled with his remarkable real-life experiences, never fails to captivate and inspire audiences.  Enthusiasm overflows as he describes his personal metamorphosis from unfulfilled businessman to professional adventurer.  Smith presents guidance and insights about overcoming fear and self- imposed limits.  Audiences return to their organizations with courage and confidence, ready to take action.  
 
“David has lived an impressive life.  More importantly I felt like I could do anything.  After listening to him, I felt excited to put new ideas to work.”

Risk taking is invaluable as an everyday tactic, not just an occasional strategy.  Today’s business environment is like perpetual white-water. Navigating rapids of change requires risk oriented management skills.  David teaches how to convert the fear of change from an enemy to an ally, and reframes risk from aversion to excitement.
 
"The Spirit of Adventure is a light within each of us.  With it, we are all capable of extraordinary feats of creativity, cooperation, and courage.  Without it, fear wins."
