David Grossman

David Grossman is an engaging speaker on issues that are critical to business success. As a communications professional, he is able to reach his audience in ways that are meaningful, visual and have an enormous impact. His session was one of the highest rated in the history of our Marketing training series.

David did a tremendous job relating his content to our business and engaging leaders through interactive activities during the session. In our post-meeting survey he earned the highest speaker rating we’ve ever seen. It was an impressive performance and he far exceeded my already lofty expectations.

David was one of the most well-prepared, dynamic and engaging speakers from whom I’ve had the privilege to learn. He clearly follows his own advice, which is to understand your audience.

I was very fortunate to secure David as a speaker for our Board of Directors Retreat last year. They felt that spending the day with David was an excellent use of their time and that their strategic work would be of significant benefit to the organization.

I make it a point to attend David’s sessions at every conference he’s a part of. His presentations are clear, concise, and relevant. This man doesn’t “chew his cabbage twice” - his material evolves and morphs to suit the situation and audience.

David yielded overwhelmingly positive feedback from all Seminar Directors. His presentation, based on survey feedback results, was well received by the audience. Both the content and the delivery of the message were current, relevant, and (on target.)

In a post-conference survey, David’s presentation was among the highest ranking, with 95% of more than 100 attendees finding value in his session. One commentator said, “Great presenter, lots of take-aways!

Every person left feeling like David had given them valuable insight as to the role communications play in their organizations and how they in turn can effectively influence employee engagement and productivity.

Feedback from our large and diverse audience was overwhelmingly positive. The thesis David promotes about the importance of leaders as communicators is one that cannot be repeated enough.

Wow-great session! Pertinent info, presented in a way I understand. Thank You.

David's presentation was EXCELLENT...couldn't have been more pleased.

I just wanted to let you know that a number of staff mentioned to me (unprompted) how valuable and timely they found David's presentation. It appears to have really hit the mark!

If you aren't using the principles that David teaches, you are not optimizing the power of your people."

I thought the session really hit on a highly relevant subject and was really useful. I learned something new which is always a great feeling and it will help in my continued leadership development.

This session was incredible. Worth the entire conference fee.

Excellent speaker/presentation. Lots of good practical information organized in very useable way. Tangible take-aways!

Learned so much from David's workshop based on "You Can't Not Communicate." Can't wait to learn more!

This [presentation] contributed to my personal growth and development.

Captivating Speaker...very engaging. [David] shares valuable information with insights on how to apply it!

The communications presentation was very good. There are very few presenters who can talk to a group that large for only an hour and have them walk away with both theory and some tactical tools that can be applied the next day.

David Grossman nails the detailed nuances as well as the basic blocking and tackling about leadership communication.

David Grossman takes the common sense of great communication and provides the tools, techniques, and motivation to help every business leader; from supervisor to CEO; make it common practice.

David is an excellent presenter. He kept the workshop moving quickly and the information was absolutely relevant.

Grossman's combination of instinctual perception and practical advice is rare.

Grossman's principles and fundamentals for effective communications are constant reminders that to truly make progress, we need to share information across our company in the right way, at the right time, with the right people.

David is incredibly articulate, taking what can be very complex and challenging topics, and simplifying those concepts through storytelling and interactive discussion. He is accessible, listens to questions and tailors the discussion to best meet the audience’s needs and expectations.

David's presentations are highly interactive and flow naturally with his personable dialogue-style of presenting. He is thoughtful and personal, ensuring participants are mastering and retaining new paradigms. He's the top tier of professional speakers, understanding the multiple generations of learners and modern technology while also recognizing the invaluable role of face-to-face communications.

David has facilitated several high-level workshops and presentations for the Operational Communication Department at Medstar Health. He is an authentic and engaging professional speaker and I can recommend him without hesitation.

David's enthusiasm and belief in what he is presenting on is truly a testament to his knowledge and dedication towards the communication industry. He presents his knowledge to a group of people who may not all see things through the same lens and his ability to connect with that audience was truly remarkable.

David Grossman did an excellent job of keeping the attention of my leadership team. He provided them with practical tools for improving their communications effectiveness that they were able to implement and practice immediately.

David’s expertise on the topic of leadership communication is profoundly obvious and robust. He personally exhibits all that he advocates in his own words, actions and demeanor. He listens to what’s important to his client and audience who hears his presentation message. In turn, they connect to his call to action, in part due to his eloquent delivery, but also to his direct appeal for their reflection. It’s reassuring to those of us who plan leadership events that the audience received the intended value.

David is passionate and purposeful in helping leaders across organizations understand communication is leadership. He facilitated interactive sessions focused on creating conversations to inspire, motivate and engage employees to achieve business results starting from the employees' perspective. What's coming, how it will affect them, and the what's in it for them. Both sessions "Surviving and Thriving During Change" and "Leading and Engaging" provided practical skills that could be applied everyday to business and life. Both sessions were rated high by attendees.

David is an enthusiastic, thought provoking speaker. He did a great job conveying the importance of internal communication and made it very relatable to our audience. I have received a lot of positive feedback from our attendees.

David has a way of presenting that engages listeners at many levels. He presents content in a frank way that, without lecturing, invites and challenges listeners to think differently about their own knowledge of the topic at hand. He moves at a comfortable, orderly pace. That pace holds interest as it guides listeners on a practical exploration of communication theory, strategy and tactics. It is a delight to listen to David present on any topic.

David's insights added significant value to the event. Our CEOs and other leaders repeatedly referenced his presentation during Day 2 discussions; and we continue to encourage conference attendees to follow his guidance.

Too often we get tunnel vision and find ourselves responding to what's in front of us instead of stopping to think about how we're adding value. David Grossman's presentation was a good reminder to pause and think about what your elevator speech is (how you're adding value) and how you're executing on it.

David Grossman's presentation on How to Think Like a CEO was fantastic. He tells the best stories about his experience and where it's lead him in his career. My favorite quote from the luncheon was, "Do something every day for your career."

David's presentation was top-notch. He got to the heart of what makes for effective communication, and he provided audience members with practical strategies for improving not only their communication skills, but also their professional life and their organization's vitality.

David tailors the content of his presentations to match the interest of his audiences. He engages the audience with storytelling, graphic slides and interactive exercises. Every time David presents or conducts a workshop, participants leave with practical ideas that can be applied immediately.

I would highly recommend David Grossman as a speaker. He motivated and engaged our participants with his presentation: How to Think Like a CEO. His style was relaxed, yet informative.

David Grossman is a trusted communication professional and inspires and engages his audiences to take strategic risks. David advises us that it's not as difficult as we think to get leaders to say yes to our ideas, yes to our communication plans and and yes to our consultation. He reminds us that with the right internal positioning, employees have the potential to be the most powerful, and truthfully, the biggest influencers in any organization. David is passionate about communication and has a deep understanding of communication approaches and best practices in today's fast-moving innovative landscape.

David Grossman provided a thought-provoking and interactive session for our 300+ managers as we kicked off our new five-year strategy. Managers walked away learning the power of effective communication to truly lead their teams to new heights. Our thanks to David for sharing his time and expertise!

David did a wonderful job speaking to our group of PRSSA leaders. He was able to bring an authentic perspective to the group, which touched many hearts and ended up moving some to tears. His speaking skills and ability to connect to our audience blew me away.

"David is a dynamic speaker whose presentations are engaging and thought-provoking. His expertise and communications best practices transcend all professionals fields and are applicable in every aspect of the corporate environment. As a speaker, David immediately captures the attention of his audience and creates a natural environment of participation. He is a perfect fit for any size group, meeting or corporate event."

David did a truly excellent job of speaking to my "council" of heads of internal communications at largely Fortune 500 companies. I had asked him to present on current and future trends, based on his consulting experience, and who he sees among his clients as doing a particularly cutting edge job, and why. And he did just that. His remarks were right on target, and delivered with clarity and depth. I'd love to have him back.

"Being a professional communicator, it goes without saying that David is outstanding when engaging an audience. But on the topic of Diversity & Inclusion, David excels. He communicates a perfectly pitched personal story about principles of authenticity that every person in the room, man or woman, gay or straight, white or not, will find entertaining, personally insightful and touching. David is one of those rare leaders that I have known for years. He constantly returns to enlighten and engage the leaders in my organization on a number of leadership topics, diversity and inclusion being one of those!"

"David Grossman presented some of his latest research with CEOs to the PRSA College of Fellows annual meeting in Indianapolis. His presentation was thoughtful, well-reasoned and topical for this audience of senior public relations professionals, each with more than 25 years in the profession. David's message of authenticity resonated well with this group, which has seen and heard it all over the years."
