Dan Millman a former world champion gymnast, Stanford University coach, martial arts instructor, and Oberlin College professor — is author of 16 books published in 29 languages.
His best-known work, Way of the Peaceful Warrior, was adapted to film and released by Universal Pictures in 2007. Dan’s seminars and trainings have influenced people from all walks of life, including leaders in the fields of health, psychology, education, business, politics, sports and the arts.
Dan has presented keynote addresses to companies as varied as: American Healthcare Radiologists Association, Images International, and Apple University, among many others. Like his readership, Dan Millman’s audiences over the past 25 years range from business organizations to university students and faculty, to churches, sports teams, and holistic organizations, medical, dental, and chiropractic conventions, men’s gatherings, and a variety of other venues.
The nature of his work encompasses areas such as “life-education,” enhanced wellness, stress release, higher awareness and perspective — essentially, how to live a more meaningful and purposeful life in the real world — keeping one’s head in the clouds and feet on the ground.
His work has direct, practical applications in everyday life, at work and at home. He takes listeners beyond lofty philosophy, abstract concepts, and idealistic notions to remind listeners of what they “already know on deeper levels but might have forgotten” — for real-world outcomes.

Peaceful Heart, Warrior Spirit
The demands of daily life, at work and at home, make peaceful warriors of us all. Dan’s keynote reveals how to overcome self-doubt, access true courage, turn knowledge into action, awaken the warrior spirit, and transform our work into a path of personal evolution; concluding with a simple method to open our hearts and connect with others.
The Four Purposes of Life
By viewing our lives through the lens of four fundamental purposes involving: Life’s Lessons, Career and Calling, Life Path, and The Present Moment — we re-awaken to the value of everyday challenges at work and at home. Dan concludes by revealing the life-changing power of the attention (mindfulness) in present moment.
Success: The Bigger Picture
As we strive for health, love, financial success and career enhancement, it’s easy to lose sight of life’s bigger picture — what we’re doing here on Planet Earth. Dan reveals gateways that each of us will pass through on our way to an inspired life: Self-worth; Will; Energy; Clarity; Security; Instinct; Courage; Power, and more — all leading to true success, fulfillment, and to a natural, easeful way of living.
Universal Laws for the Business of Living
The universe works according to laws as real and concrete as the law of gravity. In this keynote, Dan shows how to harness the laws of balance, choices presence, action, and non-resistance to master ourselves and improve every facet of our lives at work and at home.
