“To know each of them personally and professionally is an honor,” said Kann. “Each knows about the Kann Advisory “Elevate Workshop” and enthusiastically supported and collaborated on my idea to expand it and create an “Elevate PLUS” version.” To have them join me in front of audiences, sharing their leadership experiences while giving our clients a day they won’t forget is a gamechanger. The goal is to help elevate people and organizations to their highest peak. These champions in sports will help us do that in exciting new ways.”
By request, Mullen, Lewis and Pronger will individually take part in half-day leadership workshops hosted by Kann for organizations – corporate and athletic – seeking a day of unparalleled empowerment, inspiration and leadership development. For companies and teams looking to add big value and high impact sessions to their annual meetings or create a stand-alone powerhouse event, “Elevate PLUS” is an experience offering leadership ideation with a sharing of proven results sure to drive strategy, boost organizational culture and deliver a day of career development attendees won’t soon forget.
DAN MULLEN
College football’s 2014 SEC and national coach of the year while lifting Mississippi State to number one in the country during his nine-year run from 2009-2017. Mullen was a part of two national championship teams (2006 &2008) as a lead assistant with the Florida Gators and as the team’s head coach from 2018-2021, led Florida to 3 New Years’ Six Bowl games and an SEC title game. He has coached a Heisman trophy winner and an NFL number one overall draft pick.
“I love this concept and am excited to partner with Kraig and the Kann Advisory Group,” Mullen said. “He has spoken to my football team in the past and I feel like, together through our messaging and presentations, we can help lift organizations and their leaders. I look forward to being a part of this exciting experience we’ll deliver – all designed to help people and companies elevate their game!”
STACY LEWIS
Twice an LPGA major champion including the Chevron Championship in 2011 and the Women’s British Open Championship in 2013 at St. Andrews. Lewis ascended to number one in the world on two occasions. She has 13 LPGA Tour wins on her resume, won LPGA Player of the Year honors twice, earned a spot on the U.S. Olympic team in 2016, and is fresh off leading Team USA to victory earlier this month at the Solheim Cup as a 2-term captain.
“I have been where every organization wants to go – the top,” said Lewis. “In my career as a professional golfer, I’ve risen to number one, won major championships and most special is representing my country and serving as captain for Team USA. Building a winning team is a tall order and the process I used is something I feel can help companies big and small, and leaders inside the organization, to become the best. I can’t wait to step on the stage with Kraig again after our years together at the LPGA. This is going to be special.”
CHRIS PRONGER
Named one of the “100 Greatest NHL Players,” Pronger is one of the game’s most decorated. He is a Stanley Cup champion, a league MVP in the 1999-2000 season, a 2-time Olympic gold medalist with Team Canada in 2002 and 2010, and was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2015.
“This is an exciting collaboration and a special partnership,” Pronger said. “Having known Kraig for the past five years and had the privilege of being a guest on his podcast, I have a deep appreciation for the exceptional brand he has built and the value he brings to organizations and leaders. I’m confident our combined expertise and messaging will empower audiences and drive organizations toward even greater success.”
And there’s more to “Elevate PLUS.”
In addition to KAG’s new half-day “Elevate PLUS” offering with Kann and one ambassador advisor, “Elevate PLUS” programming will also include a full-day blockbuster experience that would pair 2 or group all 3 of the new ambassador advisors with Kraig. The full day option will allow a company’s top level management team designated afternoon breakout time with the champion ambassadors focused on “becoming number one,” while Kann will take other selected attendees through a segment of his immersive trademarked presentation skills and brand building program “A Brand New You.” The high energy day would include a post event reception, book signing experience and photo/autograph session.
“I know how companies and organizations have already received the “Elevate Workshop,” Kann added. This goes where we haven’t gone and I believe differentiates KAG’s offerings from anything in the space of leadership engagement and development – a perfect opportunity for meeting planners to build an unforgettable day. To work with Chris, Stacy and Dan has been inspiring for me and I can only imagine what audiences will feel walking out the door at the end of our time together.”
