Dallin Cooper has owned and operated businesses of all sizes for nearly a decade. Teaching the same principles of ethical leadership that led to the success of his own businesses, Dallin is the speaker for any business group, association or organization looking to develop a culture of trust. Ethics generally gets a reputation of being a boring and stuffy topic. Dallin strives to subvert that reputation by crafting speeches and trainings that don’t feel like “ethics training.” Instead, audiences will learn about how their actions impact their relationships with others as well as themselves in such a way that they yearn to behave more ethically not because of compliance, but because of the benefit that behavior brings to their lives.

They Might Not Be Crazy -Working With People You Disagree With (And Might Not Even Like)
Everybody has to work with those that they disagree with, that they don’t understand, and that they might not even like. Dallin empowers audiences to challenge their assumptions (about their coworkers, their customers, and even that guy on the bus) to communicate more effectively, manage conflict, and build relationships of trust.
In today’s fast-paced, ever-evolving world, leaders and teams are constantly navigating different personalities, perspectives, and priorities. Yet, 90% of all workplace conflicts stem from misunderstanding. When the majority of employees feel that expressing their true thoughts could put their jobs at risk, it’s no surprise that disengagement, tension, and frustration are at an all-time high. But what if the key to a connected culture wasn’t about eliminating conflict but transforming it?
At the end of this keynote, attendees will leave not just with strategies—but with a new perspective on leadership, performance, and connection. Because at the end of the day, success in business (and in life) isn’t just about working with people you agree with. It’s about learning how to connect with those you don’t.
- Learn how to shift from conflict to connection by understanding what drives people’s perspectives (even when they seem completely irrational).
- Discover how top leaders engage and inspire teams, creating a culture of trust and high performance without micromanagement.
- Develop a growth-oriented approach to workplace challenges that turns obstacles into opportunities for stronger collaboration.
- Master the skills of effective communication and emotional intelligence to lead with confidence in any situation, even the toughest conversations.
- Walk away with proven strategies to elevate team morale, drive better results, and create a culture where people feel heard, valued, and motivated to grow.
Get On The Bull
How to Rise Above Challenges, Level up Leadership & Sustain Peak Performance
Leadership today feels a lot like bull riding—fast, unpredictable, and unforgiving. The question isn’t whether challenges will come, but whether you have the grit, strategy, and resilience to stay on and master the ride. In this high-energy keynote, based on Get On The Bull, Dallin Cooper gives leaders and high-performing teams the tools to embrace pressure, navigate uncertainty, and turn challenges into momentum that drives lasting success.
Bull riding is one of the most extreme sports in the world, eight seconds of pure chaos, requiring laser-sharp focus. But let’s be honest: leading in today’s fast-moving, high-pressure environment feels a lot like climbing onto a 1,600-pound bull every single day. The question isn’t whether challenges will come, it’s whether we have the mindset, grit, and strategy to stay on and ride through them.
Based on Dallin’s powerful book, Get On The Bull, this keynote takes leaders on a transformative journey to embrace challenges head-on. In a world filled with uncertainty, burnout, and growing expectations, true leadership isn’t about avoiding the ride, it’s about learning how to master it.
By the end of this keynote, attendees won’t just be inspired, they’ll be equipped with the tools and confidence to get on the bull, take control of their leadership journey, and ride through any challenge with grit, resilience, and impact.
- Learn how elite performers (from athletes to executives) build the mental toughness needed to face challenges head-on without burning out.
- Understand the difference between healthy perseverance and destructive overwork—and how to push forward without crashing.
- Recognize the ripple effect of your leadership on your family, team, and community, and how to lead with purpose and authenticity.
- Walk away with practical strategies to navigate uncertainty, embrace discomfort, and turn challenges into opportunities for growth.

Bull riders are masters of moments. Hundreds of hours in training, both physical and mental, go into making sure that they can instinctively make the right decisions in those split-second moments on the bull – years of work and effort defined by eight seconds.
Leadership is defined by moments. It isn’t a title or position. Leadership is a lifestyle. Not everyone is a natural-born leader, but everyone can learn to lead. Get on the Bull illustrates a pathway to successful leadership with applicable stories from the exciting world of Bull Riding and simple suggestions of ways to develop those attitudes and behaviors.
