What George Dom Talks About:

High-Trust Leadership and Teamwork
In the knowledge-based economy, high performance is all about relationships, strong and enduring relationships with all stakeholders, and the fundamental ingredient for every successful relationship is trust.

For naval aviators, flying off aircraft carriers a thousand miles from land (often in the middle of the night) trust is essential not just for success, but survival. There can be no compromise in that extreme laboratory of high performance. If you weren’t trusted, you’d fail or be fired; if you can’t trust others, you’ll either fail or look for another line of work.

Trust is the cornerstone to being an effective leader; it’s the glue that keeps the team firing on all cylinders. Within a culture of trust, there is an upward spiral of achievement based on creativity, determination, accountability, excellence, passion, camaraderie, humor, candor, and resilience. Allowing a culture of mistrust due to fear, incompetence, and/or integrity gaps will result in the opposite.

Take-aways:

• Understand why a culture of HIGH-TRUST is critical to achieving individual and organizational high performance
• Discover the 5C’s of trustworthiness: Character, Commitment, Competence, Connection, and Communication
• Develop a high-trust action plan with specific, immediate actions (90-minute keynote required)
• 90-Day Journey: Exploring the 5C’s of High-Trust” can be included for all audience members. They will receive 12 weekly value-packed emails that provide more information about applying the 5C’s immediately. This exclusive content is only offered to attendees of Captain Dom’s presentations to achieve a lasting impact by sparking real, ongoing individual and organizational change.

Personal High-Performance
Life demands more of us every year: at work, at home, and in every aspect of our lives. As we try to keep up with the pace of modern life, every day is a challenge to perform at our best. What are some of the habits and mental exercises you can develop to bring your A-game every day – despite the pressures, stress, distractions, and challenges of modern life? What lessons can we learn from those who routinely perform at the highest levels of excellence in extreme, unforgiving environments?

Captain Dom, USN(Ret), former Flight Leader and Commanding Officer of the U.S. Navy’s flight demonstration squadron, the Blue Angels, is ready to share the secrets of personal high performance. Over a 70-year history of pushing the limits of man and machine, the Blue Angels developed ways to ensure all six pilots are at their best every day: physically, mentally, and emotionally. Informed by his experience as a coach at the Human Performance Institute, these lessons can be applied by anyone who wants to make the most of every day in whatever activity
matters to them.

Strategic Planning Like a Fighter Pilot
Planning and flying combat missions off an aircraft carrier with 20+ tactical aircraft (jet fighters, bombers, electronic attack, command & control), tankers, and surface support assets (ships, radar installations, ground air defense assets) required a detailed, complex plan that must be developed within several days and distilled down to a kneeboarding card to carry into the cockpits for precise execution.

Take-aways:

• How to achieve strategic clarity, team alignment, and effective communication.
• Simplicity is memorable and actionable.
• Structure and capital allocation never outperform the limitations of a misaligned leadership team without clarity, focus, and a cadence of transparent communication.
• An aligned leadership team with strategic clarity and effective communication will achieve organizational momentum, agility, efficiency, and resilience.

Build Leaders at Every Level: The High-Performance Imperative
High-performance requires inspirational leaders throughout the organization. It’s the secret to their speed, agility, productivity, resilience, and retention. But true leaders are built, not born, on a journey of continuous growth and improvement. First, leading themselves, then inspiring and developing others with a clear vision, trustworthy reputation, and positive, contagious energy.
