David Cottrell

Your presentation to the group was exceptional and there have been many very kind remarks heard around the company as a result...We would strongly recommend your program to anyone.

Your message was right on target for us, and you delivered it with a style that made it very meaningful...It simply could not have gone better.

David spoke recently to the Senior Leadership team at Young Life, our leaders of the leaders. David had done his research, knew our organization and had earned the right to share his wisdom and advice. It was a rich and profitable time. I recommend him enthusiastically.

We scored a homerun by choosing David Cottrell as our closing presenter...He did a great job in expanding the principles of leadership outlined in his book. Our managers were attentive, interactive, and interested. No greater compliment can be delivered to a presenter from his audience. Mr. Cottrell was certainly what we had hoped and expected...and more.

Everyone walked away from our meeting energized, not only with motivational thoughts, but with practical tips that we can use in our everyday lives. Thanks for delivering MORE than what we were hoping for!

Clearly the highlight of the day and the difference maker was the series that you facilitated. Many of our participants commented that they were especially impressed by your ability to tie the qualities of successful leadership directly to our core values and philosophy. This approach resonated very well with our leaders.

Your message was right on target. You did a terrific job of incorporating our theme, 'Reaching New Heights,' as well as our corporate values into your presentation. The feedback from our managers has been very positive, and some of the sayings from your Monday Morning Leadership book are becoming commonplace around our organization.

David's southern charm, wit, and passion combined with his "reigniting success" message were perfect timing. "No Matter What", "From Now On", and "Consider It Done" are now embedded into our management team's vocabulary and actions."

"You wildly exceeded all of our expectations. We can honestly say that our company is stronger because of you."

“Thank you for speaking at our Plant Manager’s meeting. Your message was motivating and will help us to achieve our goals.”

“For several years we have used Mr. Cottrell’s book, Monday Morning Leadership, as the basis for our core leadership training program. We have purchased hundreds of copies of the book and the program has been so successful that our design approach for the class has been selected to be included as a case study in a new book … I hope that Dave will be pleased not only at our mentioning his book, but also that it has had such a positive impact on leaders across our organization.“

David is an amazing speaker. He has the perfect way of saying what needs to be said, and making it stick.

David's presentation was extremely well received. On target, with great reminders and challenges. David and his keynote address was the star; with highest accolades and setting the tone and stage for everything that followed. Thanks to you and David for making this happen and allowing us to benefit of his vast knowledge, experience and talent.

David did an outstanding presentation for our Texas Baptist group of Ministers. He made his presentation personal...inspirational...life-changing…He is one of the best presenters I know.

"I would like to compliment you on the motivational talk you gave to our team during the recent Ardent Health Services Leadership Conference in Nashville. Your Monday Morning Leadership presentation was an absolute success and was right on for our organization helping to strengthen Ardent's mission, vision and values. You are a gifted speaker with a unique ability to take leadership principles which can be utilized on a daily basis and communicate them clearly and in a common sense manner."

"Monday Morning Leadership is a great book. Having David speak to my team helped reinforce the lessons he shared in the book. We all left his talk better prepared to use the concepts and be better leaders."

"Many leadership speakers can offer a great inspirational presentation and you feel like you can change the world until the next morning when you settle back into your daily routine and habits. David steps it up and makes the introspective topics fresh, personal and immediately actionable! We really loved his approach and group interaction. Every leader had something to take back home and use in coaching their teams."

David met and exceeded all my expectations. The most experienced administrators along with the novices took away learning that we believe will have an enormous positive impact on the 2017-2018 school year.

Our annual year end Team Leader Meeting was a success thanks to David. We are a 80 year old family owned service business that has now grown to 750 people in 8 Western States. We have had many trainers and speaker at our events and David was by far the most down to earth, entertaining and enlightening with his common sense approach. Some speakers give you what I call a "seminar high" or temporary feeling of motivation or inspiration. But then you get back to the office or I ask the attendees what they learned and often they didn't have Golden Nuggets to take back. David put together a custom program for us that was a great fit and the 3 hours flew by and never a dull moment as we were interactive and engaged. David's message was easy to understand and put into practice as soon as they returned.

"What an amazing speaker and leader!!! Everyone was really excited and glad to be a part of this meeting. Thank you all for helping this meeting be a great success!!!"
