WHY HIRE
DR. DAVE
Dr. Dave has the years of experience it takes to bridge the divides in today's business world. He exposes commonly held beliefs and concepts about leadership, accountability, buy-in, teams, and economic systems that don’t work. In their place, he provides powerful strategies for success.
He Rallies People Around a Future Picture – People tout the phrase, "Start with the end in mind." Yet very few people know how to free a group of old mindsets and habits to reach beyond what they thought possible. Even fewer have guided that process for lasting results. Dave does both, and you will be astounded when you hear how far off-track commonly used strategies are. When he shares these nuggets, you'll find yourself saying, “Why didn’t anyone tell me this before? It makes so much sense.”
He Makes the Impossible Easy to understand and rapidly implement. He translates concepts to easy-to-take action that gains immediate traction and builds an unstoppable organization that thrives in times of change.
He Bridges Differences – Dr. Dave creates magic in getting natural opposites to work together.

PERSONAL TRANSFORMATION
Despite Dr. Dave's career accomplishments, relationships, and community service, his weight posed a persistent challenge. At 5'7" and 210 pounds, clinical obesity overshadowed his sense of achievement. A heart attack during a bike ride served as a wake-up call, and his medication's side effects compelled him to confront his weight.
Opting for a self-guided health approach proved futile, prompting a shift from a know-it-all mentality to one of openness, discovery, and learning. Turning to others' experiences, he uncovered a transformative program that marked a turning point. The program's structured guidance led Dave to shed an additional 49 pounds in five months. However, a lapse back to old habits resulted in a weight rebound.
Learning from this setback, he immediately sought the support he needed to sustain the change for a lifetime and now easily maintains his ideal weight of 141-149 pounds. Beyond the weight loss, this journey marked a profound self-discovery and transformation in a way he never imagined possible. Dave's enhanced physical health and vitality had a ripple effect, positively influencing his work, relationships, and ability to empathize with and support others in overcoming barriers to achieving their personal and professional dreams.
