Dan Thurmon

Don't Just Exceed Expectations. DEFY Them.

Dan Thurmon's keynote performances empower audiences to rediscover their inner greatness and conquer their self-imposed limitations. He delivers unforgettable messages with jaw-dropping style. He demonstrates work-life balance with podium handstands, juggles sharp objects to illustrate performing under pressure, and weaves through the audience on a six-foot unicycle to visually amplify principles of navigating change.

He began his performance career at eleven years old, crafting a one-man-show incorporating comedy, juggling and acrobatics. Today, he has educated Fortune 500 companies, young audiences, and even the troops on the front lines of Afghanistan and Iraq with his high-impact events. Dan isn't just a world-renowned Hall of Fame keynote speaker, he's also an author, entrepreneur, fitness advocate, acrobat, unicyclist (even on mountains), drummer and is learning how to do the flying trapeze!

Using acrobatic demonstration, Dan Thurmon will reveal how to take charge of your circumstances, stretch your abilities, and create a blueprint for success! Dan believes the reason that people struggle with change is that they believe they have to compartmentalize their life and keep everything in balance. But what if we lived Off Balance on Purpose? What if instead of resisting uncertainty, we leaned into it? And what if rather than bringing our “work-self” to the office, we brought 100% of who we are? This dynamic presentation incorporates acrobatics to teach you to embrace uncertainty, rediscover your inner greatness, conquer self-imposed limitations and initiate positive changes that lead to growth.
