Bob Davies is different from most motivational keynote speakers. As a former football coach, he has developed behavioral techniques that he uses to teach others how to produce the "best effort every play". The manager keynote "The Manager As A Coach" is a one to three hour keynote about the idea of coaching as opposed to managing. Davies explains that coaching is not managing, training, consulting or a type of therapy. Instead, it is a relationship which fosters discovery, self learning, and accountability. Coaching results in a renewed sense of purpose, clarity, focus, and a "being in action" mentality. You can use this as a stand alone program or use it to follow the sales keynote.

Keynote speakers can cover a variety of programs and those addressed by Bob Davies begin by having you question who your biggest competitor is. Not the environment, competing companies, the interest rates, the area of the country where you live, or anything other than yourself. The two parts to Bob's program will help you identify yourself as your biggest competitor and the second part is an intervention. You will learn how to successfully compete with yourself!

All keynote speakers have an approach to improving some aspect of your life but through his training and his books, Davies helps you approach all aspects of life. He believes that human performance is either the avoidance of pain or the seeking of comfort. Bob uses a demonstration using gravity to make this point. Regardless of your belief about gravity, or you willingness to participate with it, it will exert its effects on you with or without your permission or cooperation. Davies explains that the same is true of the human performance principle. All individuals are driven to avoid pain or seek comfort and this is the driving force for all people. If behavior is predictable, people work up to their comfort zones and then avoid the rest.

Another principal that sets Bob Davies apart from other keynote speakers is that he teaches that rationalization is the justification of avoidance and that is something we are all guilty of! He doesn't label this as a good or bad thing, just a human characteristic. He teaches that there are three major resistances: People will resist doing activities that they don't feel like doing, those that they perceive as being uncomfortable, and they will resist fear and avoid change. Keynote speakers who follow this program will entertain their audiences and they will have learned something new about themselves.

Keynote speakers who use Bob Davies' programs to help their employees to improve their business relationships will benefit from any time spent learning about these techniques. Programs that are only two hours long will be enough to teach audiences something new about themselves. Once the listener comes to understand that he is his own biggest competitor, it will become easier to understand the steps needed to make sure that the person can learn to compete with themselves and accomplish what they want.
