TESTIMONIALS: 

Thanks SO much for your exceptional presentation to our National Accounting and Finance sales team.  Your presentation covering goal-setting was cited by a number of our recruiters as being the highest point of their sessions!  You kept things moving quickly, were clearly confident in your skills and truly professional. Given that our group consisted of some of the top performers in the company, it shouldn’t have been easy to impress them. You came through with flying colors. Thanks so much!  Cam MacMillan, National Practice Leader – Edmonton, Canada.


Having been in a sales environment for more than a decade, I was enthused by your Goal Setting Workshop!  It was a refreshing new spin on such an important sales tool. It’s been a long time since I’ve come away from a goal-setting presentation with a new look on how to successfully set goals and more importantly why goal-setting fails for many people!  I look forward to implementing your principles both personally and also with my team!!  Rakesh K, Branch Manager – Toronto


David, I just wanted you to know that your presentation was the best ‘goal-setting’ presentation I have ever heard!  You communicated your message so clearly and made it sound easy. I got a LOT out of it and I’m excited about implementing it!
Patricia Gawlick, Sr. Consultant – Edmonton, Canada


We've been lucky enough to have had David present to both small and large teams multiple times. With an authoritative yet highly-engaging style, David's presentations have always been greatly enjoyed by each member of my diverse staff. He is a gifted speaker who understands his audiences, is passionate about their learning needs and truly delivers with enthusiasm and encouragement!

With David, the learning doesn't stop when the presentation is over. His commitment to follow up with each team member helps them apply what they have learned to their personal and professional lives.

David has made a real impact on the lives and careers of my team members and I look forward to having him present to my team again!!

Quotes

From Nelson Chan – Recruiter – Compass Group Canada
Top Company to Work for in Canada’ and participant in the ‘Resume Success Insider 600’ Survey
“A resume is the VITAL initial link between job seekers and employers.”


From Rakesh Kothary – Recruiter – Mason Group
participant in the ‘Resume Success Insider 600’ Survey
“The real purpose of a resume is to build curiosity. When someone reads your resume you really want them to say ‘Hmmm, I wonder if she can…?’ or ‘Wow! How did they do that?’ If you build enough curiosity the resume will get them an interview, which is the end goal.”
