Derek Daly, a former professional race car driver, now uses his racing experience to address business success and identify the skills of winners.
He competed in Formula One, Indy Car, and World Sports Cars, and survived a near-fatal crash in 1984. After 14 surgeries and three years of therapy, he returned to racing and won major international races.
His experience in the Indianapolis 500 led him to research what makes some teams successful in auto racing. He now uses these findings in his presentations, which are based on the parallels between racing, business, and life.
After his racing career, Daly had a successful television broadcasting career and authored a book called Race to Win, How to Become a Complete Champion.
He now delivers speeches on topics such as high-speed sales teams, developing a culture of extraordinary, and achieving trailblazing performance. Organizations have praised Daly for his engaging and passionate speaking style and recommend him for creating a winning culture in businesses.
