In this insightful presentation, Dave Davlin shares three essential ingredients for developing a purpose-driven mentality to achieve a fulfilling career and balanced life. This presentation is an hour of interaction, humor, and audience participation mixed with a powerful message. It is a roller coaster ride of emotion that will find the audience engaged in hilarious laughter one moment and brought to tears the next.

This fun and always lively session will give attendees the opportunity to pose questions on any UCC-related topic to the “Expert.” Come prepared with the hardest questions and scenarios you can think of on the topic.

Some suggested subjects include but are not limited to:

Effect of various UCC records
Filing office duties
Correcting filing errors
Status of secured parties
Authority to file

Rebound

Dave Davlin, CEO – Conference Engagement Officer, Professional Speaker, Author
The late Jim Rohn once said, “Life is difficulty mixed with opportunity.” While most individuals and organizations find it comfortable to thrive in times of opportunity, it requires specialized skills and a specific mindset to be victorious in times of difficulty and change. In this presentation, Dave connects the “March Madness” created by the 2020 COVID-19 world-wide pandemic with the unexpected changes and challenges that can manifest themselves in conventional business and everyday life. He reveals seven principles that can lead us to thrive amid uncertainty and to be triumphant in the face of our own March Madness moments.
