Life is short; why not make every moment count?
After unsuccessfully fumbling through young adulthood, I discovered a world of wisdom, knowledge and support on living well in books, workshops and seminars. I’ve spent the past forty years drinking from that well, applying valuable lessons learned (for better or worse) and reaping the benefits. Now I want to help you do the same (except for the forty years part).
This is where I come in.
My mission is to (re-)introduce the same key habits, strategies and philosophies that helped this high school dropout achieve success in both business and life. I have 2 keynote presentations, each of which explores an important key component to successful living.
- The Connectivity Ninja: My most popular talk ever! An interactive talk demonstrating how easy and important it is to create genuine and lasting human connections and community. When positioned as an opening keynote, it always sets the conference up for success.
- Punch Failure in the Face: This powerful talk challenges people to re-frame their approach to work, life and success by introducing strategies to plan for their futures without neglecting the important “life” moments that happen every day.
“Hi David – Thanks again for the keynote you gave at our annual National Controllers Conference. Your take on Personal Leadership was highly energetic and effective in helping our team focus on their personal, and the company’s goals.
I’ve received numerous positive comments on your presentation and message, so let’s go ahead and book again for next year” ~ Stephen McGinley, Regional Controller, CHIP REIT – Regina, Sask.
Six Reason why/how my talks inspire audiences
- I TELL RELATABLE STORIES: All talking points come from my own good, bad, and (often) ugly life experiences, letting participants know they aren’t alone in their struggles.
- GENUINE PASSION: My passion for helping people is evident from the first conversation, throughout the planning, the presentation, the after-session Q & A, and everywhere in-between. I’m 100% committed in helping event organizers become heroes too!
- ENERGY: By involving audience members throughout presentations, together we keep people actively engaged, participating, and their energy levels high(!).
- WE CREATE GENUINE HUMAN CONNECTIONS: My presentations encourage participation to happen on a very personal, in-the-moment and human level.
- HUMOUR: Since self-deprecating stories highlight the common struggles many heroes face, I always share my own embarrassing failures and”egg-on-face” moments.
- TAKE-AWAY STEPS: Each session ends with a set of clear, concise take-away steps leaving participants an opportunity to begin building a personal pathway to creating their own version of success; whatever that looks like for them.
