What people say about David

As the keynote speaker at our Franchise Conference, David Penglase was engaging, motivational and entertaining. The feedback we received was more than positive and we were impressed with how his presentation was tailored to our personal needs.

– LJ Hooker

David’s personal, funny stories made the whole messaging very genuine and enjoyable which resulted in the great audience engagement we all felt throughout the presentation. I would highlight again how much it meant that you dedicated your entire day to observe the participants and listen to all sessions in order to gain a better understanding of the context. While your very detailed preparation was well grounded by the several phone briefings and personal meetings, you were still willing to come along and learn more about the organisation and our people. Nowadays this is a very rare experience and it is greatly appreciated.

You nailed the brief and your warm engaging style had everyone listening intently and more importantly taking away a few gems to try in their business to make a difference.

– General Manager, Holcim

Congratulation David!  We have over the past thirty seven years many of the best speakers and motivators both locally and abroad and what you delivered to our team was brilliant. You listened to our brief and delivered it just the way we wanted with your slant, and your behavioural science. David, I was glued to it! I couldn’t have asked for a better delivery. We can’t wait for sessions two and three.
