Don’t just book a speaker.
Decide what happens next.
Doug Fleener delivers memorable, practical presentations that help leaders and teams take greater ownership, focus on what matters most, and act on it.
A great presentation should do more than energize the room.
It should change what people do after they leave it.
Doug Fleener combines powerful stories, real-world leadership experience, practical ideas, and a direct, engaging style that connects with audiences at every level.
No complicated systems. No vague inspiration. Just clear ideas people remember—and can use immediately.
The Decided Day: A Daily Practice for Immediate Change and Faster Growth
A keynote for leaders, business owners, and teams who want faster change and growth—for themselves and their teams. Based on Doug Fleener’s new book, The Decided Day..
Most people don’t start their day. They get pulled into it.
The phone lights up. Meetings begin. Problems appear. Before long, people are moving fast and working hard—but the day has been deciding what gets their attention, energy, and effort.
In The Decided Day, Doug Fleener shows your audience how to take back their day with three decisions made every morning, before the day takes over:
The Identity Decision.
Who will I be today.
The Priority Decision.
What matters most.
The Action Decision.
What will I do today.
That's it. No system to install. No app to download. No 47-step morning routine. Three decisions in plain language that create ownership, ownership that creates momentum, and momentum that creates faster change and growth.
Your audience won't leave with notes they never look at again. They'll leave with a practice they can start tomorrow morning — and a common language your whole team can use, from the front line to the corner office.
What Your Audience Leaves With
The three daily decisions and exactly how to make them — in under three minutes a day
Why deciding beats intending, and what changes when a question becomes a decision
How to bring the right version of themselves to the moments that matter
How individual daily decisions compound into team momentum
A one-page tool every attendee can put to work the next morning
Signed books (optional)
Who It's For
This keynote works for leadership teams, franchise and multi-unit conferences, company kickoffs, and annual meetings. It adapts to your audience — whether the room is full of owners, executives, or the frontline leaders who make the business run.
It pairs naturally with the book: many organizations put The Decided Day: A Daily Practice for Faster Change and Growth book in every attendee's hands so the keynote becomes the start of a practice, not a one-day event.
The Decided Day is a daily practice, not an event. Doug spent his career running businesses — Director of Retail at Bose, CEO of a national retail company, and this came out of that work: three small decisions, made every morning, that compound into faster change and growth. The keynote is where your team learns it. The next morning is where it starts working.

Doug’s Accelerator Programs
A better way to engage your employees, leaders, and teams in today’s world of work.
Most organizations do not need long presentations or one-size-fits-all outside training.
They need practical conversations that meet people where they are, address what they are actually facing, and help them leave with a better perspective and clear actions.
That is what my Accelerator programs are designed to do.
You tell me the challenges, opportunities, or situations your people are facing. I bring a fresh perspective, practical insight, and clear actions they can use right away.
-
An affordable, practical way to engage small groups of leaders, managers, owners, or remote teams.
These sessions are focused, conversational, and built around the real challenges or opportunities your people are facing.
You bring the situation. I bring a fresh perspective, guide the conversation, and help participants leave with clear actions they can apply immediately.
Best for small teams, manager groups, leadership circles, business owner groups, remote teams, and regional or district teams.
-
A more structured session for teams that need stronger alignment, clearer focus, and shared action.
These sessions are built around a team priority, challenge, change, or opportunity. Using The Self Accelerator process, I help the group clarify who they need to be, what matters most, and the actions that will move the team forward together.
Best when a team needs to reset, realign, or accelerate progress around something important.
-
A practical, high-energy way to engage larger audiences and leadership groups.
For conferences, company meetings, and leadership events, I deliver programs built around immediate change and growth.
Whether the focus is leadership, change, focus, accountability, communication, or personal growth, audiences leave with a better way to see the moments that matter and clear actions they can take immediately.
Best for conferences, annual meetings, association events, leadership events, company gatherings, and executive retreats.
