  • 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!”

  • The communications presentation was very good. I enjoyed it (and learned a few things) personally and got very positive feedback from people in J48. There are very few presenter’s 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.”

  • Communication presentation by David Grossman — I realized while high level (announcement level) communications are very good, local managers can do a much better job at communicating with all employees on a day to day basis. A message that says just get it done takes no skill or imagination, and does not take the many talents and skills of employees into account, leading to disengagement. The communication planning tools and practice to get people back up the ‘ladder’ during times of change is a great way to keep this from happening, or maybe turn around areas where it has already happened.”

His recent speech and workshop topics include:

You Can't Not Communicate

You’re Already Doing It:
What to Do When You Can’t NOT Communicate

The reality is that everything you do and say communicates something. Not communicating isn’t an option. The most successful leaders know that communication is the competency most critical to moving businesses forward, is the best defense in managing change and difficult situations, and is the driving force in engaging others. Whether you are running a thriving organization, trying to create growth in your company, or leading under the pressure to do more with less, you are always communicating ­– so you might as well be great at it.

In this session, David Grossman will share practical insights on how top leaders differentiate themselves.

    You’ll learn:

  • Why leaders have shifted into the communicator role;
  • Why leadership communication means business;
  • The three fundamental truisms every leader must understand;
  • Three myths leaders believe;
  • The most common traps leaders face;
  • The Great Eight communication basics: What great leaders do.

You’ll walk away with valuable perspective, best practices, and proven, actionable tools that you can start using right away. This workshop is a unique opportunity to learn winning strategies you can use every day and engage in thought-provoking discussion so you can differentiate yourself, elevate your leadership impact, and accelerate business results.
