Testimonials:
"David I just wanted to thank you for your presentation, "Becoming An Extraordinary Leader," that you gave to our employees last week at our biennial company meeting. This was a very beneficial and timely topic for our organization, and I trust that everyone was able to take away some helpful information regarding identifying goals, setting a timeline, and meeting those goals, either personally or professionally, or both. Like two years ago, we heard many positive comments about your session. It's my hope that we each take action on the "six C's" to becoming an extraordinary leader."

"David Bush recently made two presentations for the Mason City Area Chamber of Commerce. He met with our high school youth leadership group in the morning, and provided the keynote address for a chamber luncheon. David was terrific!
Most importantly, his blend of humor and life lessons was a perfect fit for our events. Clearly, David understands the special challenges facing Iowans and his self-deprecating humor immediately puts the audience at ease. I highly recommend him as a speaker!"

"Our highway chapter invited David to speak at our annual convention this past February – as the Opening Session/Keynote Speaker. Our members were very impressed with his presentation, as it was not only upbeat, but something many in the audience could relate to. We had a lot of individuals stick around and talk directly with David after the session; which is a positive indication that he grabbed their attention. He got our convention off to a great start with his inspiring stories, and I feel confident your members would say the same if you have him at your event!"

What to Expect from David Bush’s Presentations
Here is what you can expect from my presentations:
An opening keynote speech starts your meeting with a bang and keeps everyone talking about David's message through the end of the meeting. A closing keynote sends everyone home on an energized "cloud nine." David talks to the level of the audience and connect with them whether they are a group of senior executives, mid-level managers, hourly employees or salespeople.

David is a high energy, fast-paced speaker who combines strong content with an entertaining delivery. So you can't miss. David is not only make an intellectual connection with your audience but also an emotional one. Clients have described his speeches as inspirational and motivational with loads of laughter.
You need something you can take home.
David's content is simple, practical, and easy to remember and use. It is quite common for audience members to successfully use one or more of his ideas from his speech several months after the program. Not only will your audience members learn a lot; they will have a great time. David's delivery is funny and electrifying. There is always a lot of laughter and "A-ha's" from the beginning to end at one of David's programs.
David's top priority on every assignment:
For the client/meeting planner: To make him or her a hero. To have the audience members as well as top management rave about their choice of a speaker. To raise a mediocre meeting to good, a good meeting to great, and a great meeting to magical. To be so good that the audience will forget other small problems that may have happened at that meeting. To be invited back by popular demand.
For the audience: To make them laugh and learn simultaneously. To give them tools to improve their personal and professional lives. To make them forget all their outside problems for the brief time David is there with them by giving them an inspirational performance unlike any they have ever experienced before. To get them to say, "This is the best speaker I've ever heard."
For the speakers bureau: To exceed their client's expectations so the client will happily continue to do business with the bureau. To get additional information about the client and its key people to feed back to the bureau for future business and additional business relationships with that client. To seek out additional business opportunities for the bureau and to get more business together.

Support materials, handouts, and follow-up materials David supplies to clients:
For each of David's topics, he provides clients: an introduction; free handouts from his PowerPoint slides; a free weekly ezine for each audience member to reinforce the concepts of his programs.
