Bring Brett to
your stage.

Brett speaks to dentists, physicians, lawyers, and business owners who look successful from the outside and feel stuck on the inside. Every talk gives the room one question to bring to their next decision.

The flagship keynote

Does It Get You Closer?

The One Question Behind Every Decision You Make

There's only one way to build the life you actually want: ask one question before every decision you make.

Brett shares the turning point in his own life and what he built after it: a practice from zero, two Ironman World Championship finishes, and the presidency of the American Dental Association. Then he turns the question on the room and walks the audience through the five moves.

45 to 60 minutes. Keynote, workshop, or breakout.

  1. 1

    Start Where It Hurts

    Begin with the business problem in front of you. Build confidence with small wins, then ask the bigger question.

  2. 2

    Define Success

    Picture your life five years from now and name the values underneath it. Courage comes first.

  3. 3

    Ask: Does It Get You Closer?

    Give every decision the same test. If you keep moving further away, question the vision. It's okay to change it. It's your life.

  4. 4

    Let Go of Who You Are

    When I let go of who I am, I become what I might be. Then ask: who do I have to become?

  5. 5

    One Step at a Time

    Big change happens a little bit at a time. Most moves can be undone, and you can always move back.

One question, built for your room

Each talk carries the same question into a different stage.
