Dan Thurmon

Dan Thurmon began his entrepreneurial career when he was eleven years old after learning to juggle at a renaissance festival. That one event uncovered a passion for inspiring audiences that has only grown over time. As an entertainer, Dan has appeared at thousands of events across the country and overseas. His performing credits include national television appearances and collaborations with major musical artists. He has also traveled to the front lines of Iraq and Afghanistan to entertain and encourage US Armed Forces.

Dan’s performing experience taught him the essentials to consistently deliver superior performances on and off the stage. Those lessons, combined with a business education and thirst for motivational influences, led him to develop an original communication style as he built a successful company.

Dan is author of the book Success in Action and President of Motivation Works, Inc., an international speaking and entertainment firm. He teaches audiences how to manage the demands of their busy lives with increased focus and decisive action. His unique programs always blend meaningful content with emotionally charged performances.

Dan is a graduate of the University of Georgia with a degree in Marketing. He has also studied business management, music, theater, acting, dance, gymnastics, and aviation. Dan has achieved the highest earned award of the National Speakers Association, receiving the elite designation of “Certified Speaking Professional.” He currently lives in the Atlanta area with his wife, Sheilia, and their children, Eddie and Maggie.
