What They Say About the Programs
We just had Dave speak at our event here in Palm Springs. .. He really keyed in on leadership and all the key tenants … everybody walked away saying I took something from Dave’s message and I’m going to be a better leader when I get back to my company and my organization.
I wanted to share that I have been getting amazing feedback on your presentation from earlier this month.
I love the reminders on accountability. It also was a strong reminder that I don’t recognize my team enough, or in the most efficient way. Thanks so much!
This guy was a pro, and the 45 minutes he spoke went by quickly. It brought new questions to mind for myself personally about leadership through RTA, what it takes when personal responsibility is a primary factor, and new directions that could be applied to our association. Well done.
