Choose from among David's most requested programs:
- Winning Well: How to Lead Your Team to the Top Without Losing Your Soul (or Your Mind!)— Today's leaders face a hyper-competitive environment sandwiched between business realities and the needs of the people they supervise. Without the tools to win well, leaders too often become isolated, frustrated, and burnout - in short, they lose their soul. In this inspiring program, your leaders learn how to win well - that is, to sustain excellent performance over time. In order to do that they need energized, motivated people all working together. In this program, your members receive motivating, yet practical tools, tips and techniques they can use to win well without losing their soul or their mind in the process.
- Courageous Cultures: Building Teams of Micro-Innovators, Problem Solvers, and Customer Advocates —What would happen if every member of your team came to work focused on finding solutions and creating better results? Based on ground-breaking new research in innovation and problem-solving, you'll learn what leaders like you are doing to build more creative and solutions-oriented teams. You'll explore the root causes of FOSU (fear of speaking up) and techniques to turn your team's fears and frustration into innovation. You'll learn techniques to navigate the elegant dance between clarity and curiosity and practical tools to help your team discover micro-innovations and share best practices.
- 7 Things Your Team Needs to Hear You Say — Engaged and motivated teams are essential to the success of every organization. In this presentation, managers, supervisors, and directors will receive tools to cultivate innovative, responsible, results-oriented teams. It doesn't require buckets of charisma — teams just need to hear these seven things from their leaders.
