“ABOVE THE RIM”
ACHIEVING SUCCESS DESPITE LIMITATIONS
In everyone there exists the potential to achieve excellence. Each of us has unique skills and innate abilities that can lead us to success and fulfillment both personally and professionally.
Unfortunately, however, we also possess certain traits, habits and even beliefs that often prevent us from reaching our true potential and experiencing life to the fullest. Whether manifested in the form of a physical or mental limitation, an emotional or psychological affliction, or even an imagined encumbrance, such handicaps sabotage the pursuit of our goals and desires in ways that may be hidden to us.
In this inspiring and impactful presentation, Dave Davlin shares how he identified and refused to be limited by his own obstructions—and reassures audiences that even though limitations exist in many forms, we do not have to be limited by them.
Three Learning Outcomes:
- Recognizing our potential limitations, seen or unseen, physical, mental, emotional or habitual
- Identifying strategies and actions that allow us to continue on in spite of our limitations
- Distinguishing the effects of habits and decisions on future failures or successes

Talent FAQ's
Do speakers charge a flat fee or by the hour?
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.
