Leadership Built From Experience

Leadership is about movement, helping people grow, building teams that believe in one another, and creating the confidence to take the next step.

Drawing from more than 25 years of developing people and leading organizations, David shares the leadership lessons that shaped his journey from lifeguard to General Manager. March Forth Leadership explores the influence leaders have on the people around them and challenges them to serve, take responsibility, invest in others, and leave people better because they worked with them.

People can quit a job. They can quit a company, a schedule, a brand, or a boss. It becomes much harder to quit someone they know genuinely cares about them.

You Can't Quit Dave explores the power of personal connection in leadership. David shows how relationships built during the ordinary days affect what happens on the difficult ones. When people know their leader has invested in them, that connection creates the opportunity to coach, challenge, and help them grow.

Great ideas are exciting. Turning one into something that actually works takes leadership.

Drawing from David's experience opening attractions, rebranding parks, and leading teams through growth, Creating Something Worth Splashing About explores what it takes to turn an idea into reality. David shares what he's learned about getting people invested in a vision, making decisions when every answer isn't obvious, and building something remarkable through the people responsible for bringing it to life.

 Every audience is different. David works with event organizers to understand their people, their challenges, and what they want the audience to take away from the experience. 

The goal is for people to leave talking about the message and to remember it when they're back at work facing a real leadership moment.

 From conference stages and leadership meetings to workshops and employee events, presentations can be shaped to fit the audience and the occasion.
