Some of the Organizations David Has Spoken To
For Leaders
What to Do When You Can’t Not Communicate
(“Based on David’s popular book by the same name…”)Before writing his two acclaimed books, “You Can’t NOT Communicate” and “You Can’t NOT Communicate 2”, David had a realization: Everything leaders do means something–especially to those who look to them for direction, guidance and vision.
No matter how you slice it, being a leader inevitably means being a communicator.
David will offer from-the-field insights on how the top leaders he works with differentiate themselves. He’ll additionally equip audiences with best practices and proven, actionable tools they can start using right away.
No Cape Needed:
Improve How You Lead by Leaps and BoundsBecoming a ‘natural born leader’ is similar to becoming an ‘overnight success story’: Neither happens by chance. Or by birth. Or overnight...
Using communication to inspire teams, move employees to action and transform your company can seem like a superpower, but it’s like any other skill you develop. It takes a lot of work. It also takes knowing the rules, knowing when and how to break them, and practicing them at every turn.
Gain a fresh perspective on communicating with employees, and learn how to plan—yes, plan—your communications in just five minutes. David will introduce audiences to small tips that will improve their performance as leaders by leaps and bounds.
Finding Your Most Authentic Voice Through Self‑Awareness
A common mistake among leaders is thinking they have to emulate someone else’s style to be effective.
The reality is there is no one “type” of effective leadership style. What people respond to most–at work and in life–is the authenticity of the person leading them.
David will guide audiences through strategies to shed any adopted personas they’ve acquired and reconnect with their true selves in the workplace. He’ll discuss what authenticity is--and what it isn’t. And he’ll offer strategies for building emotional intelligence necessary to rise above the fray and stand apart as a leader.
For Communicators
22nd Century Communications:
Reputation and Authenticity in an Interconnected WorldThe communication landscape is changing at an exponentially rapid rate. Through his work and research, David has gained a deep understanding of the trends and best practices shaping the future of communications.
In this interactive session, David will set the stage with a pre-read designed to give participants context into the rest of the day’s activities. He’ll then guide attendees through real-life applications and lively discussion of the different roles communications will play in a new era of communications. Some topics include: Value-creation for the businesses, why trust is paramount, technology and digital, and optimizing influencers.
David also offers an optional group activity, aimed at helping each participant solve a personal workplace challenge.
