To Book David

David’s Process

Prepare

In addition to David’s independent research, we’ll schedule as many conference calls with key stakeholders as needed to determine the key outcome objectives and direction for program content.

Customize

After those calls, David will focus finding the perfect research insights and takeaways for your specific attendees, event themes, or organizational goals.

Deliver

David will deliver a highly customized, energetic, entertaining, interactive, strategic, and results-focused experience. In addition, David will make himself available the day of the event for anything that will deliver extra value, like book signings, Q&A sessions, or receptions.

Reinforce

Unlike many speakers, the learning doesn’t stop after the speech. Each client will receive several articles, videos, and/or books to reinforce learning. We can even film the event for clients to share after with attendees. All at no additional cost to you.
