As a young parent working his way through SEAL training, Eric Davis was desperate to find a single mentor to show him how to become both a father and a man.

He ended up finding many. As a SEAL, he developed a pervasive “Lead from the Front” attitude that shattered the cultural notion that good parenting requires a sacrifice of career, health, or happiness.

Eric believes that part of a man’s role as a dad is to live the very kind of life to which he’s raising his kids to aspire, and that when men quit on life, they quit on fatherhood.

Eric will help you rediscover yourself and focus on becoming the parent you want and need to be so that you can, in turn, lead your children to become the people they want and need to be. It’s time for parents to stop feeling guilty about working or playing hard. It’s time to show our kids how.

Many of us have spent a lifetime working to develop the critical skills and capabilities required to live a good life and to lead others to do the same.

However, once we plateau we tend to settle into our current routines as if they were some sort of genetic trait—stuck in our careers, relationships, income levels, and life. Even the most motivated and skilled warriors on the planet can falter when they ignore the basic principles driving human performance.

Former Navy SEAL Eric Davis will teach you how to take back control of your life and hone your life’s trajectory just as a sniper would a bullet’s. It’s time to start hitting your targets!

Too many of us “try”—rather than “train”—to live a good life. However, in today’s high-tech, hyper-competitive world, it is only with regular training that we can succeed.

Join former Navy SEAL Eric Davis as he reveals the daily practices, rhythms and routines required to live your best life, one that invites you to tackle—rather than avoid—its ups and downs and embrace its intricacies.

Develop a strategy that can produce immediate peace, self confidence and the levels of focus you need to for making critical progress.

Have you ever been to the zoo and noticed how the tigers pace back and forth in their enclosures? Have you ever been to an office and seen men do the same in their cubicles?

Each rocks back and forth in an endless effort to sooth their internal desire to live the life which they were born to live.

We often deploy weak and self destructive habits — T.V, prescription drugs, alcohol, aggression as a means to cope with our restrictive environment.

Join former Navy SEAL and author Eric Davis to understand where many of our self destructive behaviors come from and how learning the habits of elite forces and rescue units can put us on a path to happiness and wellness.

Eric Davis is a combat-decorated U.S. Navy SEAL who served honorably for over 16 years. He has been recognized as one of the premier sniper instructors for the Naval Special Warfare sniper program, where he was the Stealth & Concealment course manager.

Eric Davis | Navy Seal

During his last tour in the SEAL Teams, he was hand-picked for a special program to perform clandestine intelligence operations in some of the most dangerous places on the planet. Today, Davis leverages his training and operational expertise to elevate the performance of corporate and individual clients through his business, Average Frog.

Davis is also the bestselling author of Raising Men: Lessons Navy SEALs Learned From Their Training and Taught to Their Sons. He enjoys climbing, mountain biking, and surfing the beaches of Southern California, where he lives with his family.

Talent FAQ's

Speaker fees can vary depending on factors such as expertise, demand, and event specifics. While some speakers may charge a flat fee for their services, others may have hourly rates. It’s best to discuss fee structures directly with the speaker or their representative to understand the pricing model.

Keynote speeches typically range from 30 to 90 minutes, with the duration determined by the speaker’s expertise, the event’s agenda, and audience preferences. Keynote speeches often include a combination of inspirational stories, practical insights, and actionable advice tailored to the event’s theme or objectives.

The scale of the event and audience size can indeed impact a speaker’s fee. Larger events with a broader reach or higher attendance may command higher fees due to increased exposure and demand. Conversely, smaller events or niche audiences may offer opportunities for more flexible pricing arrangements.

Travel expenses such as transportation, accommodation, and meals are typically negotiated separately from the speaker’s fee. These costs vary depending on the speaker’s location, travel distance, and event duration. It’s important to clarify travel arrangements and expenses during the booking process to avoid misunderstandings.

Many speakers require a deposit to secure a booking, with the remaining balance due closer to the event date. Deposits are often non-refundable and serve as a commitment from both parties. It’s advisable to discuss deposit requirements and payment terms with the speaker or their representative when finalizing the booking.

  • Virtual speaking appearances are a cost-effective alternative to high speaking fees, often 10-50% cheaper than in-person rates.
  • There is typically no difference in fee for a 15-minute speech versus a 60-minute speech.
  • Some motivational speakers are open to discounting their fee if hired for more than one event by the same organization.
  • When browsing speakers, consider their location to keep travel costs down.
  • Personal connections to your organization or event location can increase your chances of securing a renowned speaker.
  • Be upfront about your needs and expectations to ensure a successful partnership.
  • Speaker bureaus like Speakers Inc help guide you through the booking process to negotiate the best deal with favorable terms.
