Keynote speaking
What your team does when the plan stops working.
Keynotes on leadership, resilience, and teams under pressure.
Former NFL fullback. Baltimore Ravens, Atlanta Falcons.
Tell me about your event.
What he actually talks about
The part nobody films.
I don’t do the highlight reel. What I talk about is the part nobody films: the script is gone, everyone is tired, and somebody has to decide what the group does next.
I played fullback — you block, somebody else scores, and the play only works if every person does a job they won’t be credited for. Most organizations run on exactly that and don’t say so out loud.
I build the talk around your event. Same themes, different room. A sales kickoff in February and an employee resource group in October should not be getting the same forty minutes.
The four talks
Built for four different rooms.
Same themes underneath. Pick the one that matches the occasion, or describe the room and I will tell you which it should be.

What people say
Ovie was one of the most dedicated NFL players in giving back to the community that I’ve ever met throughout my career. He has continued with his desire to make a difference in his post playing career. I’m excited to continue to watch him use his platform to change the world.
Ovie genuinely loves people and it’s why Positive Athlete is honored to have him involved in anything we do. He’s a great and enthusiastic speaker with the kind of message that resonates with audiences from any walk of life.
Ovie is one of those people who has an infectious personality. He gives you a reason to smile. He is a true leader, a team builder, a businessman, and above all else — he is a down-to-earth dad, husband and friend.
Tell me about your event.
Date, audience, and what you are hoping people walk out with. I will tell you straight whether I am the right fit — and if I am not, I will usually know who is.
