    Success is a Journey, NOT a Destination
    Dominique Dawes won Olympic gold. But, for her, success is so much more than medals and accolades: it’s something she worked hard to achieve everyday en route to Olympic glory. Today she shares her personal and professional philosophy with audiences across the country. Called “D-3” – Determination, Dedication, Desire – it’s what gave her the strength and confidence to handle the professional and personal challenges in her life, to persevere amidst defeat and triumph in victory. In emotionally uplifting presentations, Dawes shows audiences how to use D-3 to reformulate negative situations into positive ones and turn obstacles into victories – all while clearly demonstrating that success is a journey, not a destination.

    Looking Forward:
    Not one to rest on her laurels, Dawes maps out her own path to success, explores her personal and professional setbacks, and shows how perseverance led to Olympic Gold and further – to a career as sports commentator, author and high-demand gymnastics instructor.

    It’s Personal:
    Beginning her training at age 6, Dawes was part of the U.S. Women’s Gymnastics Team that won Olympic Gold in Atlanta in 1996. She made history with an individual Bronze for her floor exercise. The personal philosophy that transformed her own life now illuminates the lives of her audiences.
