Keynote Speaking & Workshops

For over two decades, David has worked in high-performance sport, leadership, education and organisational culture. His work sits at the intersection of psychology, performance, maturity and courage.

When you book David to speak, you are not booking a motivational performance.

You are inviting a grounded, psychologically rich, deeply practical conversation about what truly shapes behaviour, culture and performance.

Speaking Themes

David speaks across various primary areas.

Each can be delivered as keynote, workshop, or immersive day. In person or online.

Whether you’re booking a one-hour keynote or a full-day workshop, David works to your schedule.
And regardless of length, the depth and impact remain.

Courage in the Classroom

Creating a Culture of Courage and support Children to Become Robust Adolescents and Adults of Integrity.

A deeply practical and psychologically grounded session for teachers navigating today’s complex educational landscape.

Drawing on performance psychology and decades of experience shaping behaviour and culture, David explores how courage, structure, energy and connection create classrooms where students feel safe, seen and strong – and where teachers themselves feel steady, purposeful and impactful.

Lots of laughter as well as so much quality self reflection for everyone. Outstanding combination.

Honestly, this is the beginning of the new me.

What I enjoyed about you is that you are outside the box. Watching you perform your craft, you are a unique human being!! I am genuinely grateful to have met you!

You taught me one big lesson: BE YOURSELF. […]. The athletes saw the true me and it was much easier than trying be something or someone I wasn’t.

Interesting what you find buried in your heart as you chip away at your fears and see what you would do if you lived by courage and not by fear.

I was profoundly moved, not only by what you shared, but by how you shared it. Hearing you speak and witnessing your energy in person has added a new depth of understanding to your work and a felt-sense experience of it, which was truly enriching and authentic.

Your workshop came at just the right time in my life; after years of striving for perfection, has left me feeling empty, isolated and confused.

I now understand that I have been putting my energy and focus in all the wrong places.
