Three talks that consistently move the room.
Cracking The Influence Code
The Signature Keynote, Built on the Book
Most leaders rely on authority, logic, or repetition to get buy-in. When those fail — and they do, constantly — teams stagnate, deals collapse, and change initiatives die. The problem isn't the message. It's the missing understanding of how the human brain actually processes influence.
From Friction to Fusion
Resolving High-Stakes Corporate Conflict with Integrity
Unresolved conflict — between departments, between leaders, between teams — is one of the most expensive silent costs in any organisation. Productivity drops. Innovation stalls. Talent walks. And most leaders have been given no tools to address it beyond 'have a conversation' or bringing in an external mediator at crisis point.
Beyond the Bargaining Table
The Hidden Psychology of Win-Win Negotiation
Multi-million-rand deals stall, collapse, or settle for less than they should — not because of poor strategy, but because of hidden human emotions, identity concerns, and loss aversion that neither party knows how to navigate. Logic alone has never closed a hard deal.
For Cape Town's tech, tourism and public sector
From the tech scene around the city bowl to the tourism economy and the seat of national government, Cape Town leaders navigate fast change and diverse stakeholders. David's frameworks help them communicate through uncertainty, win buy-in for new strategy, and resolve the friction that growth creates. In-person across the Western Cape, or virtual for distributed teams.
