2020/02/05

As David has gone along his merry journey called life, he has learned one thing. Whether it was becoming a world class memoriser, national level competitive bodybuilder or an international speaker for nearly quarter of a century, one thing is true. There are always two categories of performers – those who have a detailed strategy and execute it well and those who fly by the seat of their pants.

David recently had an old friend up at his house for a day doing presentation skills coaching. When he did the exit interview at the end of the day, he asked him why he had chosen David. He said it was because of his social media videos. We all know the incredible value of a strong presence on social media and yet, it still shocks David how many people – even professional speakers – do it badly despite the obvious harm to their business and brand.

David did a motivational keynote speech for a sales conference just before Xmas in Dubai. One specific request from the guy who booked his was to memorise and recite a pack of playing cards.
