HELP YOUR PEOPLE COME
BACK TO LIFE
- WHEREVER THEY ARE
Whether your team is stuck, stretched thin, or already high-performing and hungry for more — Keynote Speaker Danny Bader will awaken your team's reverence for life to transform performance, resilience, and authentic connection.
Is your team just surviving challenges or using them as fuel for growth?
Most organizations are drowning in the "lawnmower of life"—endless meetings, constant firefighting, and digital overwhelm that keeps everyone busy but not productive.
Your people show up, do the work, go home, but they've lost that spark that drives innovation and breakthrough performance. They're managing tasks instead of leading with purpose, reacting to crisis instead of creating strategic advantage, and building walls instead of authentic connections that eliminate silos forever.
Danny Bader literally died for 6 minutes and came back with the antidote to organizational chaos.
Through his life-changing near-death experience and decades of learning, Danny delivers critical business insights, helping teams find meaning and momentum during times of change and uncertainty.
By helping people develop greater respect for who they are and the roles they play, Danny creates an environment where authentic communication flourishes and participants learn how to build resilience in an ever-evolving business landscape.
“Through stories of resilience and renewal, Danny shows that even in the face of adversity, we can choose to move forward with purpose.”

Meet Danny Bader
I'm Danny Bader—husband, father, author, speaker, and someone who literally came back from the dead to tell you that there's a profound difference between just living and being fully alive. I'm one of eight kids from an Irish Catholic family, and for the first 28 years of my life, I lived without any significant challenges—until the day 8,000 volts of electricity changed everything. My friend Bruce and I were working on a roofing job when we lowered a metal ladder into a power line. We both died that day. Only I came back.
That experience—dying for about six minutes and returning to life—began a journey from the depths of despair to discovering what it means to live with radical reverence for every breath, every heartbeat, every moment we're given. Today, I'm blessed to be married to my incredible wife Lisa for over 30 years (my brothers joke that it took 8,000 volts to get me to the altar!), and we have three amazing kids who continually teach me about love, resilience, and what really matters.
I've written four books and had the privilege of speaking to thousands of people across the country. Whether I'm talking to electrical contractors or billion-dollar company executives, my mission is simple: to help people slow down, think deeply about how they're living, and offer them the powerful principles I've learned to support them in living happy, fulfilling, resilient lives. I believe that when you understand your breaths and heartbeats are automatic but not guaranteed, everything changes—and that awareness can be the most empowering realization of your life.
Thank you for being part of this community. I hope we get to connect soon, whether through my books, a speaking engagement, or just a conversation about what it means to be fully alive.
With gratitude and radical reverence for this incredible gift called life,
P.S. Remember—there's a helluva difference between just living and being fully alive. The choice is always yours.
Awakening organizations worldwide to the profound difference between just living and being fully alive through authentic storytelling, life-tested wisdom, and a radical reverence for the precious gift of time.
