In this engaging and heartfelt keynote, motivational speaker and longtime Dale Carnegie instructor Bob Ganzak shares how life’s unexpected turns can become powerful opportunities for growth. Drawing from personal stories, leadership lessons, and a touch of wisdom from his Mini Goldendoodle, Coco, Bob explores how Dedication, Discipline, and Tenacity (DDT) help us navigate change and rediscover purpose. With humor, authenticity, and insight, he reminds us that the road we’re meant to travel is rarely the one we planned—but always the one we build. Attendees will leave inspired to slow down, trust their instincts, and believe in themselves—one step, one decision, one road at a time.
