We all want to be more effective and successful in our lives, but often we subconsciously sabotage that objective. How often have you caught yourself falling into one of these traps:

  • Blaming your struggles on outside forces, when in reality, you know better

  • Waiting for the perfect timing, resources, or opportunity instead of proactively moving forward on your goals.

  • Focusing on things outside of your control, instead of expanding your sphere of influence

What separates exceptional performers from the ordinary, and how do I get there? It starts with ownership of your future and a proactive mindset, driven by your own unique talents and a bias towards action over procrastination. Learn how managing your attitude can empower you to take control of your life in this fast paced and entertaining roadmap towards a better future.  Don’t outsource your destiny, when you can own it.

During Tom’s presentation you will learn:

  • How and why building strong relationships is the single best thing you can to do be more successful. 

  • How an ownership mindset will set you apart from the crowd and improve your management of risks.

  • How the need to be perfect is holding you back, and ways to avoid that trap

  • Balancing conventional wisdom with your own unique attributes and strengths

  • Why a mindset of resourcefulness is critical to your success, and how to develop that

Tom DuBos is an instinctive problem solver, in his personal and professional life.  He’s basically a human contradiction: a recovering engineer who loves public speaking, a lackluster high school athlete who caught the triathlon bug, and a city kid who now lives to be outdoors.

His diverse professional background includes process engineering, sales, consulting and management roles in industrial and utility environments.  He has a knack for finding innovative solutions to complex challenges, and uses those skills to entertain and motivate audiences. 

Tom has completed five IRONMAN triathlons, ultramarathon trail runs, and many other endurance events.  Currently he serves as a volunteer with the Carson City Sheriff’s Search and Rescue team.  He is an avid skier, and National Ski Patrol volunteer at Diamond Peak in Incline Village, NV.   He and his wife of 32 years have two grown daughters.
