Desmond Clark
Insurance Executive, Financial Advisor & Former NFL Player
Biography
Desmond Clark was not predisposed to be successful in either football (where he had a stellar 12-year career in the NFL) or in business (where he became an insurance executive and an accomplished financial advisor). It is, he believes, specifically because he was not naturally inclined toward either that he’s been able to add value to corporations, associations, individuals, teams and more as their keynote speaker and/or coach.
The habits of success in life (personal) and business (professional) are the same habits of success in sports: goals need to be underpinned by plans; plans need to be underpinned by execution; and execution needs to be underpinned by a thoughtful, attentive, mindset and focus on personal vision.
It’s more complicated than that, as you know. But, also, Clark has found it isn’t. On a mission to share what he has learned, Clark continues to grow meaningful relationships and add value to everyone he meets.
