Closing Keynote 12:15–2:30 pm

The Culture Gearbox Shift: How to Shift From Good to Great to ExtraordinaryRemember good to great? Today, it has shifted from great to extraor-dinary. Align this platform with the right culture, and you develop something truly unique: a culture of extraordinary.

As we close out the convention, Derek will help you to think and act differently as you push your people to the edges and boundaries of what might be possible. You will embrace what it means to go beyond your best. Derek uses powerful, real-life sports analogies in a unique, compelling, and often hilarious manner, which leaves audiences in awe.

Irish driving legend Derek Daly is the epitome of the complete champion. From the victory circle to the announcer’s desk, hall of fame race car driver and network television color analyst Daly has spent near-ly three decades as the face of the motorsport world.

In 1978, he competed in the Formula One World Championship, and two short years later Derek was ranked 10th in the world. In 1985 Derek started a 10 year association with ESPN as a motor sport color analyst. He became the face of motorsports, seen on NBC, CBS, Fox, and Speed Channel.
