“David generates change within each individual he engages. It’s been amazing to see the before and after results of David’s impact on our staff. Many employees lingered following his training, as they had gained new insights, felt an invigorated sense of purpose, and didn’t want their time with him to come to an end. He pours himself into every attendee, filling their empty tank with encouragement, hope, and purpose. David’s energy is contagious. I highly recommend him to any group or company that is seeking a game-changer.”
