Workshops & Speaking

For Executive Teams

David delivers half-day and full-day workshops built around the CEO Cadence framework. These are adaptable to your organization's context and specific needs. The work is interactive—not presentation, but real discussion around how your team currently operates and where the opportunities are.

Workshops are well-suited for leadership off-sites, executive team formations, board-level alignment sessions, and times when your organization is navigating significant change. The goal is to build shared language around cadence—around how you structure attention, relationships, and the pace of decisions—and to leave with some concrete applications to your actual work together.

Common Workshop Formats

  • Half-day workshop: Typically 4 hours, including breaks. Good introduction to the framework with some application to your team dynamics.
  • Full-day workshop: 6-7 hours of facilitated work. Allows for deeper engagement with the three pillars and real work on your team's patterns.
  • Multi-session program: Several sessions over a period of months, allowing for implementation and deeper integration of the framework into how your team actually operates.

For Conferences & Events

David appears as a keynote speaker and panelist at leadership conferences and executive events. His topics include cadence-based leadership for sustainable high performance, the inner work of executive transitions, and what separates the leaders who last from those who don't.

Whether delivering a keynote to an audience of 500 or sitting on a panel with peer leaders, David brings the same approach: grounded observations from real experience, honest about what works and what doesn't, and always focused on actionable thinking rather than platitudes.

Speaking Topics

  • CEO Cadence: The Inner Work of Becoming a Cadence-Based Leader — A deep dive into the framework, suitable for keynote or extended session format.
