George Dom Speaking Topics

• Build Undaunted Leaders at Every Level

  The High-Performance Imperative

  Undaunted: courageously resolute in the face of difficulty or danger; not easily discouraged.

  High performance requires inspirational Undaunted Leaders throughout the organization. It's the secret to the team’s speed, agility, productivity, resilience, and retention.

  • Many organizations are too slow, too rigid, and too wasteful of human capital.
  • They promote technical experts without equipping them to lead people.
  • Poor leaders cause needless friction, distrust, and cynicism.
  • Growth, innovation, and resilience are sacrificed.
  • Resistance to rapid change is a direct path to decline and failure.

  But there’s a proven, better way...

  To thrive in times of change, instability, uncertainty, and disruption, everyone must be a leader with vision, trustworthiness, courage, and adaptability.

  But Undaunted Leaders are built, not born, on a journey of continuous growth and improvement. First, leading themselves, then inspiring and developing others with a clear vision, trustworthy reputation, and positive, contagious energy.

  Captain George Dom, former Blue Angels Flight Leader, TOPGUN instructor, and combat air wing commander, draws on over 30 years of leading high-performance teams to show how organizations can develop Undaunted Leaders at every level — leaders who ignite vision, earn trust, and sustain positive energy.

  The Fuel for Peak Performance

  “The leader’s first task is to manage his own energy, and then to help manage the energy of those around him.” – Peter Drucker

  In today’s high-stakes environment, leaders are overwhelmed by constant demands, accelerating change, and rising expectations. The question is no longer just how to manage time: it’s how to build, protect, and direct the human energy that fuels performance.

  Captain George Dom, former Blue Angels Flight Leader, TOPGUN instructor, combat air wing commander, and corporate COO, draws on decades of experience leading high-performance teams in the cockpit and the boardroom to reveal how leaders can unlock resilience and capacity by managing energy across four dimensions: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.

• Strategic Planning Like a Fighter Pilot

  Clarity, Alignment, and Transparency

  “Simplicity is memorable and inspires action.”

  In business as in combat aviation, complexity can overwhelm and stall progress. The solution is not more bureaucracy, but clarity, alignment, and transparency. Structure and capital allocation will never outperform the limitations of a misaligned leadership team. Only when leaders share a clear vision, common priorities, and a cadence of transparent communication can that achieve true momentum, agility, efficiency, and resilience.

  Captain George Dom, former Blue Angels Flight Leader, TOPGUN instructor, combat air wing commander, and corporate COO, reveals how high-performing organizations achieve breakthrough results by adopting the discipline of fighter pilots: concise plans, constant communication, and relentless alignment. Using the One-Page Plan as a tool, George shows how leaders at every level can break down silos, cascade alignment, and transform burning platforms into inspiring missions that engage every team member.

  Key Audience Takeaways:

  • Why clarity and alignment are the decisive factors in organizational performance.
  • How to break down silos and politics, creating a shared mission with vertical and horizontal alignment.
  • How to use a One-Page Plan: mission, vision, strategies, objectives, and action steps, as a powerful leadership tool.
  • Why “if you can’t get it on one page, it’s not clear enough to be practical and actionable.”
  • How to establish a cadence of communication and debriefing to keep plans alive, agile, and relevant.
  • How leaders at every level can be empowered with clear goals, defined decision space, accountability, and recognition.
