Faill Forward
Being a leader is hard and, at times, it can just suck. So, what do we do when we are managing the high expectations and challenges we face daily? Dan Faill believes the best way to fix problems in our roles is to shift how we think about leadership in general. In this keynote, Dan shares his tips on how to “Faill Forward,” that people can apply to help them grow as a leader and advance their organization or community.
A Night to Forget:
The Intersection of Blackouts and Sex
There are times people think they are invincible. They go out with the intention of drinking so much they black out, but what happens when they don’t remember the night before? How does alcohol impact the ability for a person to give consent? Listen to real life stories as we go through college nights of fun, nights of mischief, and one particular night to forget.
Redefining Superman
Being a guy isn’t easy, and it seems like it’s getting harder all the time. Drawing from personal experience as a geek and comic book collector, Dan realized the parallels for masculinity that have existed throughout the decades, continually being shifted and refined. Through the lens of pop culture and some very entertaining and vulnerable stories about his own life, Dan believes we need to move past “boys will be boys” and understand how we can be the real men the world needs.
Just One Friend: The Power of Relationships
Recruitment. Training. Onboarding. Whatever you want to call it, it still comes down to one thing: people. What if we could move past getting to know people on a superficial level and get to know them better? What if the people you were inviting into your organization were already your friends? This keynote illustrates the power of friendship in the recruitment process, while having a blast along the way, with entertaining real life experiences and tangible tips and tricks you can use for the rest of your life.
When is Enough, Enough?
What are some of the common stereotypes you have heard from non-fraternity & sorority life students? Do you hear anything positive or is it all bad? Dan understands how it feels to have others paint fraternity & sorority life in a bad light. This keynote focuses on discussing how to break free of stereotypes within your organization, motivate your members to move towards their full potential, and the importance of making better decisions.

"[Dan] had the biggest impact on me because he sent a strong message about how I should pursue whatever I choose in my life with integrity and know that no one is perfect. Also that I will have failures but I can learn from them."
