“The most common feedback we received was ‘Why couldn’t we have David all day instead of the other workshops?’”
Penny Fryer, Communications Manager, Halifax Retail Sales
“[David’s] talk is ingenious. You come away thinking you’ve had some fun and been entertained. But then you realise that you have been challenged and made to take a fresh look at old ideas. It involves a great deal of very useful business information but presents it in a very distinctive way. It really opens your mind to new ways of thinking and doing.”
Robert Greenshields. Head of Corp Communications, Scottish Widows
