Win From Within – Choices Create Champions

What is a champion and how can we create championship results in every area of our life? Champions are described as remarkable people, warriors, heroes and winners. Champions are not magically blessed or dramatically different, they simply apply a different set of skills to their lives. We become champions in life when we decide to make different choices daily that the average person is not willing to make. Learn the keys to win from within in every phase of life. This empowering, educational, entertaining presentation will teach you the “basics” of creating championship results both personally and professionally.

The Power Of Hope – Helping Other People Excel

Many people think of “hope” as a wish or something that might happen but Dale Smith Thomas defines hope as something much greater, Helping Other People Excel. In a world that is filled with darkness and negativity Dale shares life changing principles that guide you to creating powerful mindset and behavioral shifts. When we learn how to approach each day with a greater sense of purpose it’s easier to weather the hard times. Dale will share some simple but powerful tools that will empower you to change your life from within. Change is matter of choice not a matter of chance. This engaging, informative, presentation will teach you how to light the way and lead the way in all areas of your life.

The Happiness Factor

Happier people are healthier, more productive and more innovative. They develop more resilient personalities and handle adversity better than their negative counterparts. Research has now proven when we are positive, our brains become more engaged, creative, motivated, energetic, resilient, and productive at work. It’s been proven that when people are happier sales improve 37% cross-industry, productivity by 31%, you’re 40% more likely to receive a promotion, and are nearly 10 times more engaged at work. Dale will share with you the steps that you can take to create happiness each day and avoid the habits that can steal your happiness. Happiness truly is a choice. Start choosing it today and start changing your life.

From Time Management to Mind Management
Strategies for a More Productive Life

Over the past 20 years, research has started to show that the greatest competitive advantage in our modern economy is a positive and engaged brain. Optimism is not a divorce from reality, but a strategy that can improve every single business outcome that researchers can monitor and test. Happier more optimistic employees are more engaged, less likely to call in sick and their productivity goes up by 31 percent. Join Dale Smith Thomas as she guides you to the simple, yet powerful principles and behavioral shifts that can change your life. Learn what research has proven to be critical to an employee’s happiness and retention, and how learning to be “mindful” can make us more thoughtful, creative and open to new ideas, allowing us to think quickly and creatively. Mastering your mindset requires constant integration and constant practice. For those who choose to pursue it, they will quickly understand this is the most important skill in life. Stop trying to manage your time and learn how to manage your mind.

Light The Way, Lead The Way – Returning to Why
Challenging Leaders to Take Inspired Action

Great leaders are able to inspire people to act. They are able to give a sense of purpose and belonging that has nothing to do with external factors. True leaders know they must define themselves by “why” they do what they do not just “what” they do. Join Dale Smith Thomas as she guides you back into “inner” space to rediscover your why. When you remember why you chose your life path you find that your daily work is not just a career but a true calling. If we approach each day with a higher sense of purpose, it’s easier to weather the hard times. Find your Why and learn the tools to think, act and communicate as an inspired leader.

 The Power of Perspective -Keys to Win from Within

In difficult times it is so easy to focus on what we can’t control. The good news is when we engage our power of perspective we move from the victim at the mercy of an external force to an empowered person. When we focus on lack and engage with fear, we operate from a position of loss and discontent. Join Dale Smith Thomas as she guides you to use optimism as a strategy and teaches you to find the upside in a downside situation. Learn how to be the Hero of your own life and discover the greatest weapon against stress. When fear and stress run high, the need for courage and hope runs higher. The more pressure we are under the more deliberate we must be to prioritize what strengthens us. Join The Hope Doctor as she shares some prescriptions for a more positive life through the power of perspective.

She was terrific. In fact, in my unofficial poll, she may have even been better received than our speaker last year who is the only speaker we have ever invited back. She would probably rank as our best speaker ever and when you consider the folks we have had, that is pretty good!!!

satisfied client

From the very first words spoken by Dale we all witnessed genuine enthusiasm, a straightforward approach and a very positive message. I came back to my office and carried Dale’s outlook into my departments staff meeting. Without question this was a very positive experience and I only imagine what I could have achieved if I had attended one of her engagements earlier in my career.

Supply Chain Manager, Anthony International

“If you are looking for a speaker that can reach anyone in the room, you need to get Dale Smith Thomas! We had her speak at our association’s general membership meeting and had the biggest turnout ever. She had people laughing, listening and thinking – they were leaving and still talking about her lessons. Dale, you truly are an inspiration!”

Director of Communications & Marketing Greater Nashville Apartment Association, Inc. Tennessee Apartment Association, Inc

Dale, I had to share this amazing comment from an employee who attended one of your sessions.She said quite plainly “This made me remember “who I was” when I started working here NOT “who I’ve become”. I need to get back to “who I was” and this is just what I needed to do that! My heart swells with emotion as I think about the IMPACT you have had on our community. From our employees to those precious women who attend our Pink Power event.

I can’t recommend Dale’s personality, message and professionalism enough!”

“Dale’s message provided practical advice and important life lessons that our attendees could apply immediately to their lives and it was delivered with warmth and humor. We had so many positive comments and her message was life changing for many.”

Katherine Shaw Bethea Hospital

Dale brought her talents to Ahern as a part of our ongoing speaker series, initially launched as a part of our 140th anniversary celebration. Her message resonated with our live attendees as well as those joining us virtually and had the entire audience engaged, reflecting, and of course, laughing as well. She made it a point to create real connections, personally walking through the audience and welcoming people individually as they took their seat, and casually conversing afterwards; her approach was impactful and clearly resonated as our employees are still talking about her session. Dale infuses her real-life experiences into her message which allows the entire audience to easily be brought along on her journey. Her message is engaging, inspiring, and authentic; her attitude and personality genuine and uplifting; and her energy infectious!
Kelsey- HR Manager at Ahern
