Think and Act Like an Olympian: Takeaways from Vaughan

I’ll be honest—I didn’t expect that level of resonance.

After my keynote, more than 20 team members stood up to share takeaways from the full day of training… and the majority came from the session I led.

Not because I had all the answers, but because we explored some hard truths together::

  • Collect your no’s
  • Failure is part of the journey
  • Be a student of the business
  • Work through the winters
  • Don’t be afraid of hard work
  • Think and act like an Olympian
  • Aim for the top and take others with you
  • Change your mindset, change your reality

That’s why I do this work.

I tailor every keynote to the group I’m speaking with. So when a few RBC leaders told me they’d never seen someone align so naturally with their sales culture and training—it meant a lot. They said something like:

“I’ve never seen anyone integrate our sales training and culture so naturally. That was outstanding.”

That’s the aim: Inspire. Educate. Entertain. Serve.

The real reward? The conversations that happened after the keynote. People looking to break out of career ruts, elevate their sales game, and lead with more clarity. Those are the moments that matter.

To the RBC team – if you want a copy of the slides from my keynote, you can download them [here] or by clicking on the slide below.

And if you’re looking to keep the conversation going—with your team or your leaders or know another conference looking for an unforgettable keynote speaker—I’d love to help.
