TESTIMONIALS
“It was an honor and blessing to have David facilitate our four-day retreat. He skillfully guided us through engaging exercises that were both fun and deeply meaningful. His presentations opened our eyes to how intentional communication creates space for trust, creativity, and collaboration. Through his facilitation, our board and staff not only gained clarity on how we can better serve, but also experienced a deeper sense of connection with one another. David created an environment where important conversations could happen with honesty and respect, leaving us inspired and united in our mission. Thank you!”

President & CEO, CHHSM
“David facilitated a retreat for our team leaders on ‘leadership resilience.’ He listened carefully to my intentions for the retreat during our planning consultations, and crafted an experience that was exactly what we needed as a result. Participants left the retreat enlightened, grounded, and energized, with practical tools in hand that they could utilize with their own teams. From beginning to end, David was a delight to work with!”

“David masterfully led our faith and HIV conference of more than 50 participants in a group somatic experience that both challenged us and in some ways healed us. What stood out to me about David is that he did not present as a distant ‘guru’; rather, he shared personal stories, challenges, and vulnerabilities that made his message relatable and not just aspirational. David kept people engaged during his lecture with occasional pauses for reflection and interactive moments. One of the highlights of David’s session was learning that some of us have been breathing incorrectly when taking deep breaths! David was a welcome addition to our program, and I recommend him for your next event!”

Chair, U.S. HIV/AIDS Faith Coalition
“Thank you for giving us the gift of your facilitation. Your gifts and talents are a healing calm for the soul. At the YWCA Greater Cleveland, we are on a mission to empower women and eliminate racism. We work hard to help other groups and organizations process feelings and talk about difficult subjects like racism and discrimination. Sometimes we need to take a moment and do some of that work ourselves. With your presence and facilitation skills, you helped us create a safe space to bring some issues to the forefront, and create action steps. Your contributions of time and talent are special gifts that had an immediate impact.”
Margaret
Former CEO, Cleveland YWCA
