"Dave did a wonderful job engaging my diverse sales team"

 “I have known Dave for over 30 years and I have been fortunate to witness first hand his use of humor to get a foot in the door, defuse a situation and assist in the closing of sales. When I heard that Dave was teaching his trade to others, I knew I had to have him speak to my team. Dave did a wonderful job engaging my diverse sales team that is scattered all over the US. He offered great content and learnings for everyone in leveraging humor in different situations while being respectful and cognizant of HR issues.

He added value to our sales team, and I appreciated his ability to use humor, skills and experience to keep the presentation engaging and relevant.

"This talk was enlightening, engaging, and exceeded my expectations"

 “As a guest speaker at our Propel Leadership Development Program, David brought a completely new concept that had yet to be addressed during our past four cohorts of Propel – using humor in the workplace. This talk was so enlightening, engaging, and truly exceeded my expectations. We were so happy to have David come speak on this unique topic to our future leaders!

"My employees were engaged."

 “Dave’s Laugh & Learn was a total success! My employees were engaged, entertained, and had some key takeaways from the event. His sense of humor combined with an inspirational message was exactly what we needed to kick off our new year!”

Michelle Schleher - President AAC Contracting

"David had us all hooked right from the start."

 “Humor is a great way to bring down barriers that can isolate individuals from each other. Our company has employees on two continents, and we are always looking for new ways to help our people bond. Watching our employees’ expressions and body language (over Zoom), David had us all hooked right from the start. David’s presentation was warm, engaging, and entertaining, as he shared personal anecdotes and experiences (and a few priceless photos too) to illustrate his examples. His hour with us gave us an opportunity to all laugh together, and David also equipped us with some great new tools to infuse more “Funny” into our business and interactions with one another. “”

Sue Porter HR Manager – US Cognizer, Inc.

"David delivered on every level!"

 "We set some hefty goals at NHRA (National Human Resources Association) for leadership speakers, and David delivered on every level! He connected with the attendees who rated the event with 'exceeded expectations', tied in incredible content of workplace strategies with examples of how those strategies work through engagement. Attendees left the event with new ideas to immediately bring back to their organizations."

"Dave was the glue that held our entire event together!"

 "I have been in event planning for 25 years and the hardest thing to do at any show or conference is keep people engaged. This is Dave’s superpower. He is talented and funny, with great insight to offer on numerous topics. He is also endearing and approachable, which made him the glue that held our entire event together. With 700+ attendees over a period of four days, Dave had people listening, learning and laughing out loud. This is why we are planning to bring him BACK this year, and for as many years as we can afford him. Worth every penny.

'Bottom line -you were great, with ideas we can immediately put to use!'

 "Your discussion about how important relationships are in sales, is something that we ALL needed a wake-up call for. And the use of humor is SO important! Your story of your basketball career (almost) had us rooting for you, what a great funny personal example. A great example of using humor in a presentation! Bottom line, you were great, with ideas all of us can immediately put to use, and we want to have you back again!"
