More About David
Telling stories
In all of his work, David pulls together different streams of thought and weaves them into great stories to show how it is truly possible to live a satisfying life with purpose and joy. Not through rules and formulas but through following your heart.
David frees you up to be the real you, and in doing that, the world gets the gift of a man or woman who is free to live his or her most authentic life. Lord knows, we don’t need more “How To” courses, which can be overwhelming, leaving you with more to do and just trying harder.
What David brings to the table is relief.
Relief from the striving, expectations, and duty.
David helps you discover and release the real you that has been suffocated by what the world tells you to be and do.
What if it is so much simpler than we’ve been led to believe?
What if you can forget about trying to get better at your weaknesses, but rather enjoy using your strengths?
What if you can do what seems more natural for you - what you always wanted to do for vocation, or calling?
What if you could enjoy your kids for who they are in the few year's they're with you, instead of trying to create the world’s next perfect and exceptional person?
What if friendships could be real and rich. Friends that know you like a brother, and you know them the same way. Friends that feel more like allies as you walk through life together?
David shares how it can be a lot simpler than we make it. And in his humorous way, David will have you laughing as his stories sound all-too familiar, and yet you’ll feel totally inspired that your life really can be, and in fact, already is, an enjoyable journey. So come. Relax, get real, forget the pressure, and get the permission you always wanted to live the life you've always wanted.
It just may be a lot easier than you’ve ever thought!
