Patrick Houlahan Speaking Topics
Graduating from TOPGUN wasn’t just a rite of passage and it wasn’t just a check mark along a career path. It was a validation of hours upon countless hours of hard work, introspective reflection, and attention to detail that is beyond reproach. It also came with an almost mythical charge to hold yourself and all those around you to the highest of standards.
In addition to the tactical instruction, I also learned what it meant to wear the TOPGUN patch and to be a TOPGUN grad. The lessons I learned at TOPGUN and the ways of conducting oneself as a TOPGUN grad hold true in Naval Aviation as well as in the business world. They are effective, timeless, and transformational.
In the presentation “TOPGUN Lessons Learned,” we will discuss the top five lessons (Purpose, Dedication, Humility and Honesty, Tough Love, Debrief) I learned from TOPGUN and how they can be used in business to develop and lead high performing teams. They are not hard to understand. However, they do take dedication. Let me share these lessons with your clients and their teams and show them how to become the TOP 1% in their marketplace.
Understand and APPLY the key leadership principles required to inspire and build mission-driven teams. Understand how the key leadership principles are of paramount importance to employee morale and productivity. Understand how the key leadership principles foster a team-first mentality and aid in retaining their most valued employees.
Patrick’s interactive presentation will teach your team members: The steps and the art form of leading and conducting an effective debrief. How to create an open, honest, and inclusive environment where a culture of debriefing can flourish. How debriefing can drive agility and improved performance throughout their organization.
In “Fast and Effective Planning: Link Tactical Actions to Strategic Direction,” your teams will learn how to plan and ensure a line of sight from the frontline employees to the strategic direction of the organization. Unfortunately, many companies do not build effective actionable plans throughout their organization, which allows their strategic direction to become diluted. Planning takes effort, but as Yogi Berra reminds us, “If you don’t know where you are going, you’ll end up someplace else.”

What TOPGUN Taught Me (article 4): Tough Love
Prior to TOPGUN, there were aspects of flying that I was good at. Some maneuvers I would walk on water doing and would rarely make a mistake. I was effective at working the radar, leading a mission, and fighting the airplane. And then………let’s just say there were some things that I wasn’t so good at. The problem is TOPGUN does not grade on a curve. Your performance is either darn near flawless, or you had better make it so.
