Praise for David Lecours
“Our members very much enjoyed the presentation and found the program to be inspirational and motivating, as well as highly entertaining. You shared with us some great information and ideas for helping our firms to improve their approach and gave us each the ability to break out our Superhero cape, or underwear, as we embark on our day to day jobs. You left us pumped up and ready to tackle what may come with a new and improved attitude. Thanks again for speaking to us. I look forward to working with you again in the future.” –Jodie Day, President, SMPS Sacramento

“Seriously, you and your presentation were AWESOME – and that’s not just because you quoted me, quoting Gretsky! I had a few conversations about your presentation last night, one of which with a friend that I’ve been collaborating with on a new business scheme. He was super impressed and inspired. We all were. I’m going to get out there and fail at something.”  –Leslee Schaffer, Executive Director, San Diego Architectural Foundation

“Thank you for a phenomenal presentation. Clear, Crisp & Engaging. It gave me, I kid you not, goosebumps. The audience really liked it too. I received lots of positive feedback.” –John Bertsch, U.S. Green Building Council, San Diego Chapter

“Your talk was compelling and inspiring–exactly what we needed in these tough economic times. Thank you for your careful preparation. I came away from your presentation with a renewed excitement for branding.” –Kamala Kuresman, Nolte

“It was refreshing to hear you speak. I am happy that our paths crossed. I have spoken so much to co-workers and friends about your presentation. In fact, your work inspired me to become a volunteer for the Chapter. Truly, I left that night a different professional in the sense of branding myself and I owe you the thanks.” –Curtlin J. Johnson, MBA, Parsons
