David’s 2015 General Session “Grounded” raised the bar! It was so unique and entertaining but had such a great message that spoke to everyone, regardless of rank or position.
The Grounded In and Grounded By principles were at once both accessible and applicable.
Dr. Jon Krispin, Valdosta State University
David is a delight to work with. We had some ‘technology’ issues with the hotel’s overhead LCD and screen but he was a real pro and bounced around with all the changes in an unflappable way! He was so much fun and a real treasure trove of information.
Deborah Gates,
