Dodos & Coyotes: Only the Nimble Survive

The story of two animals reveals what it will take for you to remain relevant and successful in the future.

The dodo bird went from living a comfortable life in a wonderful environment to extinction in less than 100 years. In contrast, the coyote has expanded its territory and flourished as its way of life was threatened and altered.

So which are you? A dodo or a coyote?

Only the nimble survive. This session provides you with the strategies and mindset you will need to thrive in the face of constant change and uncertainty. In this unique and memorable session, you will learn:

  • Where you are right now – if you are a dodo or a coyote
  • The seven characteristics that doomed the dodo and make the coyote the model for nimbleness and adaptability
  • The three steps you must take immediately to avoid becoming a dodo and thrive like the coyote in the future
