WORK WITH DAVID
Drawing on a wealth of experience in education and children’s services David will tailor his work to exactly what you need.
“David was absolutely fantastic to work with – took what we gave him in very limited preparation notes and turned it into a wonderfully engaging, funny, informative and relevant provocation and wider event. We would be delighted to work with him again and really appreciate the ease and speed with which everything was organised on his part.”
Whether you need a keynote presentation for an event, a workshop for a conference or to work longer term as a group or an individual, David would be delighted to discuss how he can work with you.
Those who say it can’t be done are usually interrupted by others doing it.
