ABOUT DAVID MEAD

David has experienced amazing, as well as incredibly toxic, leadership. He knows first-hand the difference it makes to our human experience. He has dedicated his career to ensuring that as many people as possible experience leadership at its best.

During the past 13 years David has had the amazing experience of traveling to 21 countries to work with over 300 companies like Disney, Apple and LinkedIn. In that time, he’s discovered a pattern that is present with every leader worth following. That pattern, and how to follow it are at the core of his message.

David worked with best-selling author and thought leader Simon Sinek from 2009 - 2019. In 2017, he co-authored Find Your Why, with Peter Docker and Simon Sinek. It has sold over 500,000 copies and is translated into 25 languages.

Since December, 2019 David has focused on helping leaders and teams implement simple but powerful ideas that allow them to influence others with genuine humanity, no matter their role or title.

 

As a little thank you for all you do…

Since 2011, bureau agents and meeting planners have been a big part of my life and a huge factor in my success. This video is for you. It shares a few of my core ideas as they relate to your role and your work.

I hope you find them helpful. Thanks again for all you have done and continue to do for me, and other speakers who have an important message to share with the world. You’re the best!

~ David

KEYNOTE SPEECH TOPICS

Trust and Connection in a Hybrid World

The way we work has changed. What hasn’t changed is the importance of trust and human connection. The human element demands our attention and the leaders and teams who embrace the human element of business will be those who thrive in the long term.


Turn Attrition into Attraction

Every organization wants to attract and retain great people. But often, they're self-sabotaging those efforts because the culture they talk about doesn’t align with the culture their people experience. People stay in jobs when they feel valued, trust the company and connect with their leader.


The Future of Work and Why Humanity Matters

The pandemic catapulted us into the future of work at a speed that many of us weren’t ready for. When, where and how we work are having a significant impact on leaders and their teams. Successfully navigating the future of work demands knowing, accepting and caring for the whole human, not just the “work” human.


Leading During Uncertainty

It’s human nature to seek the sense of comfort we feel with stability. When that’s missing, we can feel unsettled, demoralized, and anxious about the future. But rather than resisting uncertainty, we can choose to run toward it by building and maintaining a resilient culture.

I had high expectations…and David absolutely exceeded them!

I couldn’t have been more pleased
