§ Testimonials

What people say

Engaging, very clear, and highly relevant. David tailored the content and flow to our specific needs, and staff appreciated his practical explanations and interactivity.
Bret ScofieldVice President, Simply Voting
Also from SocialWest 2026 attendees

Tons of applicable information. My biggest takeaway was that teams running paid + organic as separate strategies are leaving conversion rate on the table.

SocialWest 2026 attendee

A thorough and well-rounded presentation with lots of great information about current trends that are happening with LLMs. Very practical too.

SocialWest 2026 attendee

One of the most important sessions of the event. I got a lot out of it and learned about what AI is looking for in terms of paid ad campaigns.

SocialWest 2026 attendee

Very interesting and timely perspective on what we need to do to stay relevant in the search space. I learned a lot of new information.

§ Formats

Formats I offer

Keynote
30–60 minutes

Framework-led, clear POV, one call to action. Best for conferences and executive summits.

Workshop
90 minutes

Interactive session applied to your team’s actual work. Best for internal offsites, leadership sessions, and team development days.

Panel
Moderated or panelist

Industry events with a specific angle on AI adoption, ROI, or operating model change.


§ Outcomes

What your audience walks out with

·

A shared vocabulary. For talking about AI adoption — the frameworks, the anti-patterns, the honest tradeoffs. Teams stop debating whether to use AI and start debating how.

·

A clear diagnostic. Where their team actually is on the maturity curve, and where they should go next. No hype, no self-congratulation, no false optimism.

·

Two or three concrete moves. Specific actions they can execute in the next 30 days — named workflows, named tools, named decisions. Not "start experimenting."

·

A refreshed sense of what’s possible. Grounded in real workflows and real results — not vendor pitches or LinkedIn hot takes.
