"Thank you so much for participating in this year's Women's Leadership Symposium and for your excellent presentation on 'Time Management Myth Busters.'  The evaluations for that session are extremely positive. It was a pleasure working with you and the committee looks forward to future endeavors.

"I just wanted to thank you for being such an integral part of my fundraising event.  Your speech was so powerful and inspiring. Thank you for sharing your battle with us, all the while encouraging us not to remain fixated on our struggles, and instead, to focus on what we can do!  It is a few months since your speech and people are still talking about it! Thanks to you, others will continue to Fight On!"

"Our hospital leaders recently participated in a David Burns seminar, "Productivity Plus." From emerging to seasoned leaders in our organization, each walked away educated and energized by David's unique style and presentation.  An engaging speaker, he draws his audience in from start to finish, presenting time management skills in a way you have never heard before!"

"Just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed your workshop yesterday.  What made it enjoyable was the fact that I left there feeling motivated to use the information presented.  I don’t get that with every professional development workshop I attend…honestly!"

"Dave’s seminars are real. He addresses real issues with real solutions and applications. The seminars are interactive, with everyone being involved. He brings professionalism, coupled with personality and again, real life experiences and techniques for all to benefit. I recommend his Customer Service Seminar for all CSRs and their Managers / Directors."

"Your presentation to small business owners and managers was educational, motivating and entertaining. The evaluations revealed that the audience wanted more! You presented a serious topic with humor and enthusiasm. You certainly have a gift to keep your audience involved! I look forward to your return to Bucknell University!"

"I'm already putting your tips into practice and gaining greater strides in accomplishing my goals. Your seminar was well-paced, memorable, full of helpful stress relievers and useful tools for my work life. I would not hesitate to attend other sessions and recommend them to colleagues.
The two sessions I attended left all of us wanting to learn more.

Thank you."

"I watched Dave Burns capture an audience with his personality and his seminar ability. He motivates people not only with his knowledge but also with his professionalism. He can help lead your employees to higher achievement levels through his charm, expertise, and strong presentation skills."

"Dave Burns not only has his material down cold, but he also makes the content engaging and relevant for the audience. My members are thrilled when I schedule him for an event. I wish I could have him here more often."

Recently, I had members of our sales staff attend one of David's seminars called "Make it Easy for Them to Buy." We have had a lot of sales training over the years, but this is one of the first times that our staff said that they really walked away feeling motivated and learned some new sales tips.

Here is a comment from one of our sales reps, "I learned the benefits of communicating with clarity with both clients and fellow employees. Learned trigger words and why to avoid them! And also the differences between open ended questions v/s closed questions. You learn so much more of what a client may be looking for if you can keep the communication flowing. Additional info/communication very often leads to upsells—Great—love the upsells!"

I would definitely send our sales staff to more of David's training sessions.

"Dave Burns is a pleasure to have at any speaking engagement. His experience as a small business owner allows him to reach many constituents in our immediate community as well as throughout the region. In my work with the American Cancer Society, I know it is essential to be able to address, engage, and affect a variety of audiences. Dave is an individual who accomplishes this feat with what appears to be little effort, but is in truth, the result of many years of practice."

"He is likewise adept at aligning his experience as a cancer survivor with the business world...life, as well as business, throws you curves. Dave clearly believes that how an individual chooses to respond to situations will determine the outcome: first to have a clear picture, develop a plan, and to move forward with drive and determination. For these few reasons, and there are many more, hearing Dave speak is always an experience to look forward to."
