David, Team Builder - What people are saying

I believe that key personal characteristics contribute to David's success. These include his ability to interpret a vision and facilitate a paradigm shift necessary to attain it; his high level of knowledge and outstanding skills in extension processes; his highly successful leadership which builds the participatory team approach, his unquestioned integrity, trustworthiness and empathy, his unbounded enthusiasm and his commitment for the task with a clear focus on outcomes.
Frank van Schagen, Regional Director, Department of Natural Resources.

Enthusiastic communicator who can create a safe environment through his likeable personality.

David, you are a truly astounding person and I admire you greatly. You put so much heart and energy into maximising this experience for all of us. Your ability to lead forward, enthusing a group shows that you are an excellent motivator.

You have the unique ability to bring the best out in a group of people and encourage people to do things that they wouldn't normally do, but always make them feel good.

The General Managers of the Department of Primary Industries want to thank you for bringing us together and making it so much fun! You are creative, yet aware of creativity's impact and how far to push it. You are a very valued, professional and competent facilitator who is prepared to take risks. You are the only facilitator we know who can keep a room full of GM's under control!
General Managers, DPI (Qld).

You have the ability to communicate very effectively with varied audiences, both one on one and groups. You dare to be different and innovative, and have the refreshing ability to bring out the best in people by helping them see their strengths.

I have great respect for David's abilities. He is quite exceptional as a planner, a team builder and a developer of people. He has the ability to motivate staff and to empower them to realise their potential. Any activity he is associated with will be interesting, challenging, very well planned, thoroughly evaluated and very effective.

I believe that no other individual has had such a beneficial impact on the culture and service delivery of the Department of Primary Industries and the Department of Natural Resources.
George Smith, District Manager, Queensland Department of Natural Resources.
