Words from the audience


Want to say that your talk at Inspire was really motivating for me. I'm now doing something similar at a major national retail chain. Very exciting stuff, and you were the inspiration for all of it.

Attendee, Motorcycle Industry Council Presentation


 Your part of the presentation got people to pull their phones and hit the record button! Did not happen to the other presenters. Happy to buy a cup whenever.

Attendee, Tableau Software Presentation


I want to speak to David's presentation skills. He has come into a few of the programs I have run in the past and he is one of the most dynamic speakers that I have brought in in the years I have been in the drug and alcohol treatment industry. He's clear, he's concise, he engages the audience with a charisma that is really alluring and so this skill that he brings is something that motivates clients. It motives people to want to make changes and to want to do big things and to really engage in the world in a way that's just more than about the work it's about a calling and a passion. This is a skill that is not seen often and it's something that David just has himself, it's factory equipment. It's one of the best I've seen.

Evan Miller, CEO, Akua Mind & Body


Thank you for all the effort you put into hosting the different groups. You have a fantastic venue and we always leave a little smarter than when we arrived.

Marc Johnston, Chief Financial Officer, DIRECTavenue


I was quite fascinated by your presentation. I couldn’t help but wonder how we can use our internal data on students enrollment, completions rates, persistence rates, etc., and matched with external data of demographics, growing industries and occupations, salaries, other educational choices, etc., to determine the most advantageous educational programs to deliver that would have a strong correlation in growing our student enrollments and the college programs.

Israel S. Dominguez, Director of Economic & Workforce Development, Saddleback College


Your presentation was outstanding. Lots of positive feedback from chatting with attendees afterwards. Looking forward to working with you and your team again in the future.

Director, The Landing For Men of Newport Beach


Our clients are still buzzing about your lecture. They chewed up and spit out the lecturer yesterday (poor lady). That’s the thing about our clients especially – they will spot inauthenticity and spit you out. So we definitely need your presentation part II.

Vice President & Managing Director, Sperry Van Ness/Bluestone & Hockley


David, I have had the opportunity to speak with almost all of the 109 democrats who attended your address on March 31st. You will no doubt find my conclusions a statistical anomaly. 102 found your presentation stimulating & informative. Conclusion, the Club’s knowledge and awareness of how to be discriminating about the information they are exposed to was clearly delineated. Additionally, your presentation of U.S.political / economic history was presented in a non political bias way that was very convincing. We appreciate you taking the time to be here. P.S. several people said “you were the best speaker we’ve heard”

Joshua Denham, Sun City Democrats


I thought the presentation was excellent.

President, Developers Research


I think it is classic Savlowitz . . . brilliant, out-of-the-box thinking.
