Dale Murphy Keynote Intro

Keynote and Q&A with Dale Murphy (Kiln)

Dale Murphy Speaker Biography

Dale Murphy was drafted in the first round of the 1974 draft by the Atlanta Braves. He played almost his entire career for the Braves (1974-1991) before finishing up with the Philadelphia Phillies (1991-1993) and Colorado Rockies (1993).

Dale (or “Murph” as he is known by teammates and fans) is the youngest player in MLB history to win back-to-back MVP awards (1982 and 1983). He won 2 consecutive NL Player of the Year Awards (The Sporting News, 1982, 1983) and was named to the National League All-Star Team 7 times, 5 as a starter. He won the Gillette Trophy for the highest number of All-Star votes submitted by fans in the National League in 1985.

Murph won 5 consecutive Gold Glove Awards and 4 Silver Slugger Awards. He was named National League Player of the Month a record 6 times and was named the most feared hitter in the NL in a survey of pitchers in 1985. In 1991, he won the Bart Giamatti Caring Award and was presented in 1985 with the Lou Gehrig Memorial Award, recognizing him as the player who best fit the image and character of Lou Gehrig. He also received the Roberto Clemente Award in honor of his character and charitable contributions on and off the field.

His streak of 740 consecutive games (1981-1986) is one of the longest in baseball history.

In 1983, he became only the sixth player in Major League history to have at least 30 homeruns (36) and 30 stolen bases (30) in one season. This elite group is sometimes referred to as the “30-30 Club.”

During the decade spanning 1981-1990, he led the major leagues in home runs and RBI’s. He also led the National League in games, at bats, runs scored, hits, extra base hits, runs created, total bases and plate appearances.

He was on the cover of Sports Illustrated 3 times. In 1987 he was named one of Sports Illustrated’s 5 Sportsmen and Sportswomen of the Year, representing Major League Baseball as the athlete “Who Cared the Most.” He was honored with this award by President Ronald Regan in the Oval Office of the White House.

Known as one of the true gentlemen of the game, Dale leads by example. He has given his time and his name to numerous charities through the years. After his retirement, he was inducted into the World Sports Humanitarian Hall of Fame.

Dale was one of the most beloved athletes to ever play in Atlanta. He retired from baseball in 1993 after a long and very successful career.

His number (#3) was the fourth in the history of the Atlanta Braves’ organization to be retired. It hung for a time in Atlanta Fulton-County Stadium and Turner Field, and now takes its place in SunTrust Park.

Dale is a sought after business, collegiate, and motivational speaker and travels the country sharing his messages about leadership, resilience, integrity, and more. He is the author of Ask Dale Murphy, The Scouting Report: Professional Athletics, and The Scouting Report: Youth Athletics.

But that’s not all. What he did on the field is actually not the most important part of Murph’s life—as amazing as those things are. Dale and his wife of 40 years—Nancy—are the parents of 8 children (7 sons and 1 daughter) and grandparents to 12. His family, friends, and faith as well as his other accomplishments off the field are the things in life he treasures most.

I saw a lot of winning teams throughout my 20+ year professional baseball career. There are 3 attributes they all possessed that you can build in your team, as well.

Format: 45-60 minute keynote

This program is perfect for:

Teams that are striving for unity and the ability to work together to achieve greater purpose

The audience will leave with:

The determination to overcome challenges that stand in the way of their team's success
A greater understanding of what working together as a team will accomplish
A mindset that will transform their thinking from individual acocmplishments to working for the good of the whole

Using the example of Hall of Fame MLB managers, we examine the qualities that lead to success in baseball as well as in business and illustrate with stories and experiences from 19 years in the major leagues. There is a great lesson to be learned from the fact that leadership is not about position or job titles. It is about relationships.

Winning in business as well as baseball is not always about talent--sometimes it is about the culture of success that is created by management, leadership and employees.

Format: 45-60 minute keynote

This program is perfect for:

Teams who seem to have all the pieces for success but are struggling to achieve their potential.
Teams who need the kind of encouragement and motivation that will lead to greater forward momentum

The audience will leave with:

An understanding that great teams are not always built by securing the best talent. As a matter of fact, the most important element and one that is so often overlooked is the culture of success that is created and expected by the team itself

Nothing matters more in baseball, business and life than the legacy we leave behind. Who we are matters even more than what we achieve. It's how we travel the road to success that defines us.
