CLIENT FEEDBACK.
Of the thousands of people I’ve trained and coached, over ninety-five percent of them arrived via recommendation or referral from previous clients. I think this is the greatest compliment.
Senior Leaders.
“Completely engaging, helpful and applicable.”
[The] tools and confidence to create great relationships.
“Extremely useful having my entire sales leadership team attend this course … so we can be on the same page (with the skills) to be our best selves.”
We have put through 26 people from our division on the Communication Leadership training… We have seen people become far more collaborative and able to manage group approaches in very helpful ways… feedback from participants was the most positive across a wide range of people on their enjoyment of and outcomes from the course.
‘We placed 23 Managers through the Innovation program. Our General Management Team were impressed by the range of informed ideas that came from the group, giving next-step approval to most. The value these new ideas hold for the organisation is concretely measurable. The thinking from the attendees has also enabled us to enhance current projects. As far as post-programme impact goes, this is the most effective leadership program I’ve seen and the same is being said by the majority of the attendees.’
Recognising the leadership role that today’s Project Managers have, we commissioned a fusion of David's trainings to run in-house for 43 Managers. The feedback has been exceptional and the results immediate.
“We’ve put half our +100 staff through this training and we’re seeing positive results in staff and customer interactions. Our managers and front-line staff are confidently using David’s techniques to tackle challenging conversations and to build positive working relationships. We’re now integrating the skills and knowledge into our company culture.”

"Fantastic facilitator, so skilled + personable. The best training experience I have had. So grateful for the opportunity. Absolutely fantastic!"
Sav has an amazing ability to get the best out of people. His genuine listening skills help him tune in to what makes people tick, and his coaching skills empower people to set and achieve lofty goals. He's a fun and inspiring person to work with, and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending him to anybody who wants to turbo charge their performance.
More confidence, generosity and energy. Incredibly valuable in improving communication skills that will enable you to achieve...
David is a top quality coach. After every session I felt like my brain had been scrubbed and I was inspired each step of the way. David drew out the knowledge I had, and gave excellent input at the right times.
I have completed two training courses with David covering communication and leadership. David’s content is well researched, brain-based material that is far superior to other process or template based content that I have seen. The courses are highly engaging with practical material to take away. The courses are delivered in a learning environment which has made it easy for me to apply what I have learned. This is some of the most beneficial training that I have ever done.
NGO & Not-For-Profit Managers.
If you have the opportunity to do one communication leadership course in your life, do this one! Practical skills learnt to apply in all situations both personal and professional.
David was the one of the main facilitators in a recent workshop held by SPREP in Samoa. I feel that through the different activities he engaged us all in, I learnt a lot in terms of solution-focused approaches to problems and that has really benefited me as a person at my job now – I feel like I definitely get more done in a shorter amount of time. He taught and directed us around different aspects of leadership which I can only say has strengthened my leadership skills since then. He is detail oriented and works strategically in line with goals and objectives for various situations. I really appreciate all that he’s taught me and I have no hesitation in recommending him as a Leadership Development Specialist.
David is an excellent leadership facilitator, with the ability to be flexible in his approach, yet meeting the objectives of the programme. He is able to seemingly get into the minds of the participants and work with them in highly positive, inspiring and encouraging manner. David seems to have an ability to make people believe in themselves – an essential quality for any leadership facilitator.
David Savage is a compelling, approachable, effective leadership trainer, one who I can only recommend and do so without hesitation or doubt. I hope to work with David again.
I have completed the Communication Leadership course with David and benefited a lot from what the course covered.

IT & Design Professionals.
I have had David involved in training and mentoring all my management team. I have also used him to mentor and coach myself. He has also facilitated and lead workshops for different areas in our organisation. He just fits in and manages to get the best out of each person, giving them the tools and confidence to go on and be great. He manages to get into those areas that challenge you and make you step outside your comfort zone all the while feeling ok because you have the tools to do it. I highly recommend David as a leadership development specialist and continue to use his services at every opportunity.
I am more than happy to recommend David’s training – it really helped to raise capability and resilience of my staff at Stats which has been instrumental for implementing Stats2020 transformation and overcoming challenges like resource pressures and ChCh earthquake. While the main benefit is to give people additional tools and strategies to lift their leadership skills and resilience I wouldn’t underestimate collective positive impact on team bonding and day to day collaboration.
David has worked very closely with my team and individuals, including myself. He has provided us with the tools, mindset and drive to succeed, both as individuals and as a team. He is well respected and trusted across the team, delivering outstanding results time after time!!
Blow your sox off – Another great course and positive experience again… Lots of practical, useable, understandable tools that you can take away and use. Excellent content and delivery. Empowering, excellent tools, grow your leadership skills in a practical and energetic way. Thanks Sav – another great course and positive experience again.

He does a very nice job at keeping me on track, with traction, and also provides mentoring/supervision. Great value for the money, highly recommended.
Great personal, practical tools to support you and others to have more challenging conversations - where you all come out winners.

I attended one of David’s NLP recovery workshops for Christchurch and was very impressed indeed! An an executive coach myself, I’ve been lucky enough to know David for a couple of years, but had not attended his workshops previously. They were bang on for what is needed down here, and I hope he gets the opportunity to help even more people. I would highly recommend his services.
