Motivational Keynote

Bumps, Bruises, and Setbacks

How To Push Forward, When Everything is Pushing Back

In this motivational and high-energy keynote, David shares lessons from his life as a young entrepreneur, cancer survivor, and shameless believer in people.

Sometimes life seems like it just can’t get any worse – and then it does. There are times when setbacks keep coming and the only thing keeping us from giving up is our support system (if we’re lucky enough to have one), our attitude, and whatever strength we can muster.

Attendees will learn the importance of having a clear set of goals, how to interpret setback and understand that many times our immediate challenges are just a proving ground for something much greater, the value of forgiveness and moving on, and how to define and pursue the dream inside.

Included in this talk is advice about making smart social media decisions during difficult times, how to identify and engage potential mentors, goal setting, and most of all, how to push forward when everything is pushing back.
