Darren McBurnett

A true hero with a life time of lessons to share. His stories inspire and empower. His humble delivery captivates the audience and motivates us all to become better.

Darren has the unique ability to share his experiences and can connect with everyone in the room on a level that makes them get personally involved—he carries a powerful message

I have had the pleasure to have participated in a handful of presentations given by McB. Each was a unique and enjoyable experience. McB has a wonderful ability to pull in details from his experiences and to articulately communicate his message. From personal anecdotes to his professional achievements, McB is a crafty story teller. His message resonates with the audience; from the hardships of training to the personal sacrifices of he and his brothers. His personal narrative along with his incredible talents in photography create a lasting impression.

I have had the pleasure of hearing McB speak on numerous occasions and how he integrates his own personal experience as a Navy SEAL as well as his unfettered access to photograph Basic SEAL Training gives us a unique and never before look at what it takes to become a SEAL. His talent of speaking, photography and patriotism is awe inspiring

Darren McBurnett is one of the most inspirational speakers I have ever had the privilege of listening to. His words of duty, honor, patriotism and pride in America have stuck with me since the first time I heard him speak. As an organization, we knew we needed to have him back for a second keynote address after receiving such positive feedback from our guests the first time. They were blown away not only by his message but his photography – “Amazing” and “inspirational” were all they could say.

Darren McBurnett is a highly decorated veteran, and also a skilled storyteller. He is the narrator for his own real-life tales of honor and sacrifice that will stir a range of emotions in just about any audience. However, Darren has such a humble matter-of-fact way of recounting the stories that one can’t help but immediately sense the depth of his credibility and expertise when it comes to motivating others. Darren’s tales can easily translate to any organization that would benefit from: effective goal setting, a greater sense of purpose, and heightened teamwork. The typical “corporate motivational speaker” falls flat in comparison to the insights and experiences that Daren can share.

Darren is a captivating and authentic speaker. His history in the NAVY and the various Seal teams gives him ample real-life complex situations which he can use to compare to various business situations and goals. Teamwork, partnering, negotiating, mental toughness, following plans, achieving goals, regardless of the message your trying to get across, McB will be able to captivate your audience with real-life scenarios and leave them wanting more. He is the real deal, either in his dress uniform or in jeans and flip flips, his delivery is authentic and believable. Some speakers are just professional speakers with no real history of success. Darren is a real person, with real successes, and then he became a speaker. We had Darren speak at our event and the audience was totally captivated.”

You want to get inspired, you want to get motivated—spend an hour with McB listening to his stories and seeing his photography and videos. His messages are the best we as a country have to offer.

His message of perseverance through his Navy SEAL training, accompanied by his amazing photos, was truly inspirational. The “life lessons” portion of the talk really hit the mark with our sales team.

Darren is able to keep you on the edge of your seat as he inspires through the eyes and experiences of a Navy SEAL.
