TESTIMONIALS: "You delivered a much needed presentation not a canned program. So much so that you had our National Director biting at every word. Your ability to frame complex issues into bite size chunks is a skill to be admired. I found you were able to redefine the challenges in our industry and then offer new solutions to huge problems. At times I wanted to shake my head as I realized you found the critically new approaches to some of our largest obstacles." - Ohio Association of Ambulatory Surgery Centers "It's safe to say that in our 100-year history, there has never been an expert speaker that has delivered so much information and value to the event than you delivered this past week. Your predictions as a futurist were completely on target. Your advice as a business expert was incredible. More specifically your research was impeccable and your ability to transform the information into a mind jarring presentation was perfect. That was not only my opinion but of the entire conference attendees. All day long you could hear board members use your strategies or comment on the event. Tom Cortopassi, one of our board members, commented that traditionally we spend a few hours working and then the balance of the day playing. It always seemed like everyone was eager to run out and play golf or do whatever. But this year, everyone stayed 3 hours longer than they expected just to work with you." California League of Food Processors "I truly loved the presentation and wish that he had more time to speak. David gave some very valuable information - and he is very likable as a speaker... I usually listen to a speaker and think in the back of my mind - would he work in addressing my sales team - and I think David would work perfectly!" - US Airways
