CRM Inspiration Events

 

"David was our guest speaker at the CRM Inspiration event on Change Leadership. Presenting to a large audience, David succeeded in enabling everyone in a very impactful way to reflect on their own inner world and meaning when experiencing change. It was amazing to see the impact it had on people and to feel the energy of collective reflection, generative listening and open dialogue with each other. People left the room inspired and with a deep experience of insight in oneself. I had experienced myself the impact David has on smaller groups going through a leadership development programme. Now I have seen and experienced his impact on a bigger group in only one hour. It was phenomenal. I like to thank David for this on behalf of the CRM Association in the Netherlands’’.  Nanne Dodde, board member, February 10th, 2010

The brief: to design a leadership empowerment programme that would align the young top talent to the strategic goals of the company and empower their creative and leadership capacities and marketing prowess, in a way that tangibly helps them to meet their individual bottom-line goals.

 

 “David conducted the Unilever Road to Leadership program, which I attended in 2005/2006. It has been one of the best courses I have attended so far, leaving me with various very useful frameworks that I still use today. Combining ways to gain deep insight in oneself with useful research based theory is in my experience a powerful way to make step changes in both your personal and professional dealing with the many aspects you encounter. Top notch!” Edo Oliemans, project leader.

 

 “David is very relaxed and charismatic. This is because of his life experience. I have followed a lot of courses where people told me that it starts with you, but this is the first course where I really start believing that its you that can make a difference and develop” Ard Bossema, Project Leader.

 

 "....the most helpful tool at this moment is for me the sentence "do not take things too personally" and I use this together with the Ten Actors. I use it a lot! ...I was in the beginning very surprised how you teach us. When you tell something, every sentence has a meaning, making me listen very intensely. The further we were in the course, the more I got used to it and appreciate this kind of teaching. Also, the really neutral way you behave in the group. So I am 'forced' to think for myself and can minimally absorb your behaviour. Very good. Thanks a lot!" Riekje Peet - van Belle, project leader.
