WHY ALAN

Alan’s holistic approach to empowerment and self- improvement and his personal journey of overcoming adversity sets him apart from other speakers. Despite a severe and incapacitating car wreck at the age of 19, which left him with a traumatic brain injury and severe facial injuries, Alan defied the odds. He was told he would never be able to get hit in the head or play aggressive sports again. However, Alan has evolved to train in some of the most competitive combative systems in the world and achieved rankings in multiple disciplines.

Overcoming these challenges and the subsequent lawsuit, he used the life tools and teachings from instructors to excel in martial arts and beyond.

PRESENTATIONS

• “Principles of Preparation” – This discussion ignites my passion as it outlines the path to handling any situation, be it life, sales, leadership, or training, with the indomitable spirit of a warrior. The cornerstone of this keynote is built on several pillars, each one providing a unique perspective to personal and professional growth. The “Time Study” pillar emphasizes the importance of time management and its role in achieving our goals. Another pillar is “Mastery,” where I underscore the principle “Simplicity is Mastery.” This principle teaches us to distill complex issues to their core essence for better comprehension and action. As a “Wisdom Seeker,” we realize that failure isn’t an adversary to be dreaded, but rather a teacher to be pursued, as it crafts our comprehension and nurtures our growth.Lastly, but certainly not least, is the principle that “chaos is growth for a warrior.” This principle reinforces the idea that adversity, or chaos, is not something to fear but a challenge to welcome, as it serves as a catalyst for personal development and strength.

• “The Breath Is The Bridge” – This theme takes a deep dive into understanding the profound impact of our breathing patterns on our holistic performance. The keynote underscores the power of breath control as a transformative tool that regulates our physiological and psychological states – the mind, the body, and emotions alike. By mastering our breath, we gain unprecedented control over our anxiety and vastly enhance the functionality of our human machine, creating an intriguing intersection between physical health and mental fortitude.
