Testimonials

Having heard David speak at a conference I asked him to speak to members of the Faculty on presentation skills, based on the Clinton Factor. We had to close bookings and he filled the Great Hall. He was entertaining and informative and he went on to do a number of other engagements for colleagues at the Institute.
