Topics for Daniel Flynn

Get out and stay out: Challenging business as usual for good
In a world changing faster than most organisations can adapt, playing it safe is often the greatest risk.
In this powerful and deeply moving keynote, Daniel Flynn challenges leaders and teams to break free from outdated thinking and re-imagine what is possible when courage, clarity, and conviction replace comfort and convention.
Drawing on the journey of building Thankyou from improbable beginnings to global impact, Daniel shares hard-won insights on leadership, resilience, and the bold decisions required to step out of business as usual and stay out. Through unforgettable stories and moments of raw honesty, audiences are invited to question the assumptions holding them back and to choose action over apathy.
This is Daniel’s signature presentation, trusted by organisations around the world to close conferences, reset mindsets, and spark meaningful change.
As a community of speakers, we are no strangers to talent stage delivery, but Daniel set a new bar. The standing ovation at the end of his session was the longest I have ever seen.

Audience takeaway:
- Clarity, courage, and a renewed sense of responsibility to lead differently, not tomorrow, but now.
Master storytelling & the most important story you’ll ever tell
Storytelling is not a soft skill. It is a leadership advantage.
Daniel Flynn has seen firsthand how the right story can mobilise millions, shift industries, and turn belief into action. From being interviewed by President Obama to launching campaigns that have generated billions of impressions, Daniel understands how narrative shapes culture, confidence, and outcomes.
In this keynote, Daniel reveals why the most powerful battles of our time are not fought with products or strategies, but with stories. In an era where attention is scarce and trust is fragile, the leaders who master storytelling do not just communicate better, they shape the future.
Daniel unpacks three critical stories every leader and organisation must learn to tell:
- Origin Storytelling
  How sharing the human why behind what you do builds trust, belief, and emotional connection.
- Breakthrough Storytelling
  The stories that help organisations move from where they are to where they must go next.
- The Most Important Story You’ll Ever Tell
  A defining narrative that shapes culture, decision-making, and long-term impact, often overlooked yet the most powerful of all.
  Delivered with clarity, humour, and practical tools, this session equips audiences to craft stories that cut through noise, inspire action, and leave a lasting mark.
  Key Outcomes
  - Learn how to connect authentically through powerful origin stories.
  - Use storytelling to unlock momentum and breakthrough thinking.
  - Identify and articulate the story that will define your leadership and legacy.

Testimonials for Daniel Flynn

Daniel Flynn was an incredible speaker. He generously gave his time not only on stage, but also in the moments between sessions, speaking with students individually and offering thoughtful advice and guidance. Those personal conversations meant so much to our young people. Daniel, Thank you for the authenticity and heart you brought to each of the three sessions at Canterbury. Your personal approach ensured you challenged every group - I have heard students challenging each other to "get out and stay out" of their comfort zones this week. A direct reflection of how much they valued the presentation. The way you shared your story and invited our students into it left a lasting impact. You inspired them not only to think differently, but to be braver, more purposeful and more aware of the difference they can make. We were deeply grateful for the time, energy and generosity you invested in our community. The conversations sparked that day continued well beyond your visit.

Daniel Flynn ended our annual convention with a presentation we will never forget. As a community of speakers, we are no strangers to talent stage delivery, but Daniel set a new bar. The standing ovation at the end of his session was the longest I've ever seen and seemed an almost inadequate response to the impact he had made.

Daniel Flynn was an incredible keynote speaker who delivered a 65 minute speech that was inspiring, relatable, interesting and dynamic every single minute. In the history of our staff conferences, standing ovations are very very rare and Daniel deserved all of the 850 people that stood for him. Our staff were engaged for the full session and could have listened to him all afternoon. We would recommend Daniel without hesitation to anyone considering a keynote speaker to inspire staff, encourage them to step out of their comfort zone and adapt and embrace change.

Dan Flynn delivered the wow factor to the 300+ members and invited guests at The CEO Institute Summit recently. We were expecting an insight into Thankyou’s success, but we received that and much more! With a rating of 10 out of 10 by over 70%, those gathered were blown away by Dan's extremely entertaining and inspiring tale. As one member stated; "Dan made such an impact on me that I rushed home, gathered my family around the computer and trawled through the Thankyou.co website". The CEO Institute says; "Thank you, Dan!"

Daniel Flynn was engaging, relevant, open and honest and inspiring. I would not have thought that a speaker could have engaged with an audience via zoom in this manner. He understood how to cut through and how to take people on a journey. Utterly exceptional.

WOW - several weeks after Dan's story, the Travelzoo team are still talking about it. The lessons Dan shared can be immediately transferred to the business and referred to long after his time with us. Dan’s participation in our offsite meeting was a perfect way to wrap up 2 days of discussion to support our core messages.

Daniel Flynn's commitment to this social enterprise, and his selfless resolve to strive for success was an inspiration. At our recent Franchisee conference attended by approx. 1800 people, we invited Dan to tell us the story of Thankyou Water. We had several speakers on the day and Dan was the absolute stand out. His passion to provide safe drinking water is absolutely inspiring and he captivated the audience through the use of real-life stories and powerful images. The feedback from the audience was fantastic to say the least.

Daniel Flynn was the hit of our show. He will make you laugh, cry and end up having the audience on their feet from a standing ovation.
