  In a world where 67% of employees admit they’re simply going through the motions, Danny Bader delivers the ultimate wake-up call. Drawing from his extraordinary 6-minute death experience and more than 12,000 days of intentional living since, Danny reveals the three levels every person and organization operates within.

  This keynote isn’t about working harder; it’s about transforming how people show up, connect, and perform when they understand the difference between merely existing and being fully alive. Through unforgettable stories and his proven Back to Life Blueprint, Danny equips teams with practical principles to elevate culture, purpose, and performance.

  Through his powerful experiences, Danny uncovered a simple but profound truth: there is a helluva difference between just living and being fully alive. Teams and organizations tend to fall into one of three levels, and where they land determines their culture, performance, and impact.

  • Rock Bottom: The dangerous disconnect where fear and negativity dominate.
  • Functional Fog: Where 67% of employees operate, going through the motions with sarcastic “living the dream” attitudes.
  • Radical Purpose: Where individuals and companies thrive with passion, purpose, and impact.

  Once teams recognize the level they are operating within, the next step is learning how to rise higher. That is where Danny’s Back to Life Blueprint comes in: a set of timeless principles designed to move people from simply existing to fully thriving.

  The Back to Life Blueprint (5 Principles)

  • Develop Vision: Shift from reaction to intention with clarity.
  • Know Yourself: Lead authentically through values-driven decisions.
  • Seek Support: Build unbreakable team connections and psychological safety.
  • Be Still: Find clarity and wisdom in the chaos.
  • Evolve: Embrace continuous growth as a competitive advantage.

  Key Audience Takeaways:

  • Identify whether your team is stuck in Rock Bottom, trapped in Functional Fog, or thriving in Radical Purpose. Gain clarity on why performance plateaus and how to elevate culture.
  • Learn how to cut through the constant noise. Discover practical techniques for creating stillness that leads to better decisions, authentic communication, and breakthrough innovation.
  • Embrace the truth that “you were never meant to do this alone.” Apply tools and stories that help teams release negativity, build psychological safety, and turn support into a competitive advantage.

  With Back to Life, your team won’t just see Monday mornings differently; they’ll see work, connection, and life itself through a whole new lens.
