“I cannot rate David highly enough. I have been lucky enough to attend three of David’s courses, one of which he tailor made for my team and I and it was exceptional. David listened to what we needed, our issues and where we needed to be and created a course which we continually refer back to and has helped shape the way we work. David is incredibly engaging, energetic and reassuring.”
— Lucie Stericker - Creative Director, Orion Publishing Group

On each occasion we have found David a pleasure to work with and would thoroughly recommend David. He provides unique and engaging solutions to training scenarios and works alongside an organisation to ensure that your needs are met. His attention to detail is immaculate and always delivers, taking initial ideas and turning them into projects that go above and beyond your expectations.”

“I cannot thank David enough for his calm and professional help. His techniques and coping mechanisms in dealing with stressful situations and confidence issues have helped me come on leaps and bounds in my working life. His gentle approach and way of helping you really understand why you’re feeling a certain way or struggling with a situation really help with self-understanding and I really can’t thank David enough!”
— Rebecca Livingstone - Design Coordinator, Hachette Children’s Group
“David is at all times professional, helpful, offers lots of suggestions and revises content and style of delivery as and when required. He is flexible and works with the group to make it a fun experience for all delegates. David really gets to know the organisation and understands what we are trying to achieve, making the process really easy and enjoyable. He delivers the message clearly to the delegates whilst being fun and bringing a lot of energy to the sessions. As a facilitator he helps me to bring the group along with the message and we work together as a team to ask the group questions and to reflect on the scenario, really bringing the managers with him on the learning points. I have always found David really supportive of what we are trying to achieve whilst also maintaining a definite level of professionalism and experience from other places/organisations that benefit what we are trying to do. He is also very honest if he thinks something won’t work - but will always tell me why (which is good!).”
— Victoria Fletcher - Group Training & Development Manager, Hachette UK Ltd
