Blue Zones: Secrets of a Long Life
On assignment for National Geographic magazine and in collaboration with the National Institute on Aging, Dan Buettner leads expeditions to the world's longevity hotspots, called "Blue Zones." Dan unlocks the secrets of longevity for your audience and gives them a formula to live longer, feel younger, and bring down health care costs. This hour-long presentation blends adventure, science, and time-honored wisdom. It uses National Geographic images and short film clips to transport audiences to the world's longest-lived places and motivates them to emulate these lifestyles.
Journey to a Winning Goal Setting Strategy
Dan brings new meaning to effective goal setting, having biked across five contents, set three Guinness World Records, and created a company around his journeys that the Washington Post called "the most successful experiment in interactive education to date". One of Dan's world records occurred during a bike trek across Africa, which serves as the backdrop for sharing with audiences how to set goals and win in real-life situations. Audiences will learn how to apply Dan's unique recipe for goal setting success to their own personal and business lives, and will be amazed and entertained by Dan's use of goal setting in his own journeys. An optional screening of Dan's Emmy-award winning documentary can accompany this program.
Leading your Team in the Real World
Dan's leadership techniques have been mastered through 16 expeditions. On those journeys, his teams lived together 24 hours a day, experienced sickness and mortal fear, fatigue, extreme climates and terrains? and set world records. Whether your audience is building and navigating a team for success through the Sahara or through the rough terrain of modern corporate life, they will be amazed and entertained as they absorb Dan's recipe and tools for leadership that will provide a powerful and lasting impact.
Unraveling the World's Greatest Mysteries
Cited by the Washington Post as "The most successful experiment in interactive education," Dan's Quests have provided an inquiry-based, multidisciplinary program to over 30,000 classrooms in all 50 states. This multimedia presentation demonstrates how it worked in classrooms and how the Quests helped solve five of the world's greatest mysteries. With images shot by a National Geographic photographer and short videos, the presentation draws from the talents of a team of highly trained experts with the intuitive and research abilities of a huge online audience.
Dan takes audiences on these Quests across boundaries and through history as they explore, and help solve, mysteries such as the ancient Maya Collapse, Asian secrets of longevity, human origins, and controversies surrounding Marco Polo's journey across China. The presentation also addresses a nationally recognized tool for interactive education, global environmental issues, ancient wisdom in a modern context, and current events.
