"I have known David for over 20 years and have always found him to be an incredibly capable and motivating facilitator & trainer. Recently, David ran a strategic planning process for an organization I founded, the Coast to Coast Against Cancer Foundation. In preparation for the meeting he developed and executed an online survey in addition to conducting over a dozen interviews with key stakeholders. He then consolidated the results and facilitated a strategic planning session with the Board of Directors. Throughout the process he brought clarity and insight that enabled us to reach agreement on an exciting new strategic plan. I can't recommend David enough. He is a true professional."
Kevin Dorse
Manager, Advocacy at Canadian Credit Union Association
​

"David worked his magic at our very first Credit Union Social Responsibility Forum. He worked with our team to transform a workshop on an important, but complicated topic into a relatable and effective interactive priority-setting exercise. His style both in the planning and in the workshop itself put all of us at ease."
Christine McLeod
Leadership and High Performance Teams Facilitator, Speaker, Advisor Christinemcleod.ca

"David was the MC of our Impact99 HR Summit and what an MC he was. David's experience, presence, humor, flexibility and comfort on stage made him a natural fit for this role. He connected so well with the audience, connected the phases of the day through capturing the essence of each section of the day and sharing it back to the room before jumping into the next section. He was innovative in his integration of technology into the facilitation and his training background and facilitation experience allowed him to suggest just the right way to facilitate the little "nooks and crannies" of time between each section. 
I have known David for four years but this is the first time I have had the pleasure of "seeing him in action" for a full day. 
Amazing to have David anchoring the day- THANK YOU and would 100% recommend for any similar project to anyone!"

Scott Mitchell, BSF, CEC, ACC
Transition & Leadership Coach

"I was present as a professional coach at Leadership Vancouver Island in Ladysmith this October. Both my business partner, Barbara Thomas and I were impressed by David's quick wit, humour, substance, clarity of expression and leadership around the topics he was delivering for approximately 20 business leaders on the mid-Vancouver Island for a day workshop. He was personable, engaging and friendly in his approach, as well as brought pertinent learnings to the table. I enjoyed how creative he was with some of the exercises. I recommend his capabilities to anyone interested in change and personal development as an authentic leader."

Derek Vanthuyne
Strategic Development Manager, Affinity Credit Union
​

"We used David for our Board Strategic Planning session and he delivered an exceptional performance. He was able to keep our team engaged and active while delivering results and valuable output. His use of different techniques and exercises made a long couple of days go by very quickly and he was able to adapt to whatever situation arose. Very impressed and look forward to our next opportunity to work with David."
