Keynote Speak­ing


Daniel is avail­able to speak to your orga­ni­za­tion on a vari­ety of top­ics rang­ing from cre­at­ing a com­pelling busi­ness vision and strat­egy to giv­ing your best to your best in busi­ness and life. As a coach, Daniel doesn’t just pro­vide your atten­dees with moti­va­tion, he ensures that they leave with spe­cific Action Plans that will allow them to imple­ment the lessons he shares. His keynotes are cus­tomized to your needs, but the list of work­shop top­ics below are exam­ples of pre­vi­ous speak­ing engagements. 

Work­shops and Experiences

For those who would like to immerse their atten­dees in coach­ing, Daniel can design a cus­tom work­shop or expe­ri­ence for your team. Below are just a few exam­ples of events that he can provide:

  • 3B Vision — If We Can See It, We Can Build It
    • Area of Focus: Busi­ness Vision
    • Audi­ence: Leaders
    • Dura­tion: Full-day work­shop, keynote or half-day session

    This inter­ac­tive work­shop is designed to equip lead­ers with the con­vic­tion and tools needed to improve their abil­ity to cre­ate and cast a pow­er­ful Busi­ness Vision. Vision­ary lead­ers are more effec­tive at enlist­ing both the hearts and minds of their team­mates, as well as exe­cut­ing strat­egy. Daniel Harkavy cre­ated the pro­pri­etary 3B Vision tool and his orga­ni­za­tion has coached thou­sands of lead­ers through the “vision-to-execution” process. When pre­sented in the full-day work­shop for­mat, par­tic­i­pants leave with the major­ity of their Busi­ness Vision com­pleted and an oppor­tu­nity for com­pli­men­tary imple­men­ta­tion assis­tance from a Build­ing Cham­pi­ons coach. 

  • Lead­ing with Excel­lence Inside and Out­side the Office
    • Area of Focus: Lead­er­ship & Life Plan
    • Audi­ence: Lead­ers & Managers
    • Dura­tion: Full-day work­shop or keynote

    Many high per­form­ing lead­ers strug­gle with being the best they can be not only at work, but in all aspects of life. This work­shop has been designed to help lead­ers under­stand that their team­mates are look­ing to them for help in becom­ing suc­cess­ful both inside and out­side the office. Daniel Harkavy will coach all par­tic­i­pants through the Build­ing Cham­pi­ons Life Plan­ning process which will allow them to iden­tify the most impor­tant areas of their life, then cre­ate a plan to develop each of those areas. Par­tic­i­pants will leave with their Life Plans com­plete and ready to imple­ment their Action Plans immediately. 

  • Becom­ing a Coach­ing Leader
    • Area of Focus: Lead­er­ship & Management
    • Audi­ence: Lead­ers & Managers
    • Dura­tion: Full-day work­shop or keynote

    Lead­ers must under­stand two things in today’s highly com­pet­i­tive busi­ness cli­mate: First is that their team­mates are more than their most appre­cia­ble asset, they are their com­pet­i­tive advan­tage. Sec­ond is that tal­ented employ­ees don’t leave com­pa­nies, they leave lead­ers. With this being said, the Coach­ing Leader Strat­egy is a proven method to help lead­ers con­nect with their team­mates, then proac­tively and inten­tion­ally develop them. In this work­shop, Daniel Harkavy will share the insights they have learned from the more than 13 years that Build­ing Cham­pi­ons has been coach­ing man­agers and lead­ers. This con­tent is based on Harkavy’s book, Becom­ing a Coach­ing Leader, which equips read­ers with the knowl­edge, skills and tools to become Coach­ing Leaders.

  • The Core Four®
    • Area of Focus: Varied
    • Audi­ence: All busi­ness professionals
    • Dura­tion: Full-day work­shop, keynote or half-day session

    The foun­da­tion of the Build­ing Cham­pi­ons coach­ing phi­los­o­phy is The Core Four®:

    • Life Plan – Enables you to deter­mine what is most impor­tant to you, then cre­ate a plan to develop those areas of your life.
    • Busi­ness Vision – After defin­ing the pur­pose and con­vic­tions of your busi­ness, you will cre­ate a clear vision for your future and lay the foun­da­tion for your long-term strategy.
    • Busi­ness Plan — With a clear and focused plan, you will deter­mine the spe­cific dis­ci­plines and improve­ments you must adopt to achieve busi­ness success.
    • Pri­or­ity Man­age­ment — A con­crete pri­or­ity man­age­ment sys­tem will assist you in mak­ing bet­ter deci­sions that will enhance your busi­ness and ensure more time for your per­sonal life.

    The Core Four® can be pre­sented in a full-day work­shop or indi­vid­ual pieces can be used as the topic for a keynote or half-day session.

  • Lead­er­ship Devel­op­ment Experience
    • Area of Focus: In-Depth Lead­er­ship Development
    • Audi­ence: Man­agers and Leaders
    • Dura­tion: 2.5 Days on Loca­tion at a Care­fully Cho­sen Venue

    Dur­ing this 2.5 day “expe­ri­ence”, Daniel Harkavy will engage the heads and hearts of your lead­ers to impact both behav­ioral and cul­tural change. With a focus on cre­at­ing clear Busi­ness Visions and devel­op­ing the skills of a Coach­ing Leader, the desired end result is that each attendee would leave the with a solid Busi­ness Vision and the foun­da­tional skills nec­es­sary to inspire and develop their teams to exceed orga­ni­za­tional goals. Spe­cific Action Plans will be shared to ensure that each attendee returns pre­pared to exe­cute on all that they have learned dur­ing the work­shop. Before the work­shop, Build­ing Cham­pi­ons will pre­pare your team with assess­ments, select read­ings, and ques­tion­naires, so that each attendee will arrive in Port­land ready to move into the con­tent of the workshop.

    What makes this “expe­ri­ence” so dif­fer­ent than a typ­i­cal work­shop though is not the con­tent that will be shared, instead it is the care­fully crafted details. The guided inter­ac­tions between team mem­bers, the time set aside for reflec­tion and cre­ation of plans, the uti­liza­tion of the out­doors and the unique effect of hav­ing a coach ask the right ques­tions at the right time.

  • Per­sonal Life Plan or Busi­ness Vision Retreat
    • Area of Focus: Life Plan or Busi­ness Vision
    • Audi­ence: General
    • Dura­tion: 1–2 days

    This offer­ing is incred­i­bly pow­er­ful and unique. Daniel will cus­tomize a one or two day per­sonal retreat for the suc­cess­ful exec­u­tive who is look­ing for his next break­through. Daniel con­ducts these retreats at his vaca­tion home on the coast of Ore­gon or in his Lake Oswego Office and for those who have par­tic­i­pated, they had stated that this expe­ri­ence is noth­ing short of busi­ness and life changing.
