Mental Toughness

I was just an ordinary guy who was given an extraordinary opportunity to do something that had never been done before. After accepting the challenge came the planning and training for the expedition. It turned out that the mental toughness training was just as important or more important than any physical training. The many challenges I faced relate well to the challenges we face every day. I love to share his story of continuing on even when failure seems certain.

What do people say about Daniel's presentations?

"Your presentation last week at the inaugural Utah Outdoor Recreation Summit was great. Many of the surveys commented on your presentation. Thank you. Utah is lucky to have you. I would be happy to recommend you anytime."

"It isn't often that I'm held spellbound by such a gifted speaker, but Dan Burton holds that honor. Dan's epic journey to the South Pole.. being the first man ever to bike the 51 day, 700 mile, sea level to 9500 ft in -40° temps against 20 mph catabolic winds, avoiding certain death by crevasse or being lost among the sastrugi, makes Dan Burton a man uniquely qualified to speak to the art of enduring to the end and never giving up.
"Inviting Dan as your keynote speaker will set the stage for any organization to assimilate a can win against all odds cultural belief. Dan celebrated his 50th birthday while on the trek, completing a feat that men half his age couldn't do. Dan explains the great power of setting your mind to accomplishing the extraordinary. You'll just have to listen to him speak to learn how. You won't be disappointed. Neither will your organization and especially, neither will your bottom line!"
--Michael Karr Principal, Seen by Scene Communications

Mental Toughness - Exceeding in Adverse Conditions

What does it take to be able to bike across Antarctica to the South Pole? 

I was told that it would be impossible, that more experienced people had tried and failed, and that I was crazy to think I could bike to the South Pole.

It was the mental toughness that was the most critical training I did before my expedition, and it was that mental toughness that got me to the South Pole. In this program I will share with you the training I did to prepare for this historic expedition and help you build the mental toughness you need to get through your most challenging obstacles.

Doing the Impossible

When it seems you are giving everything possible, mentally, physically, and emotionally, how do you continue on. Sometimes we think that once we clear the next hurdle things will get better, but then they don't. This program will inspire you to continue going even when success seems impossible.
