“We were inspired by Dave’s talk at our AIA peak performance Summit in his key note speech. His topic was on Move well and think well; his topic opened the eyes of the audience towards the integrated view that your body and mind are a 100% connected. You don’t need to be an athlete to understand Dave’s material; he breaks it down and makes it digestible to any human. If you want peak performance out of your conference attendees; I would recommend Dave as a keynote speaker.”
“I am absolutely delighted to share my thoughts on the exceptional keynote speaker Dave Wood, who spoke at Eventing the Future. Without a doubt, this speaker has left a lasting impression on our event and on each delegate fortunate enough to be in attendance.
The response from our delegates speaks volumes about Dave’s performance. Comments like “Hugely impactful talk,” “Amazing. Thank you,” and “Awesome, just awesome” echoed throughout the event. These words only begin to scratch the surface of the impression he left on our audience.
It was not merely a presentation; it was a game-changer, a session that will undoubtedly shape the way our attendees approach their respective fields.
One comment that particularly resonated with the audience was, “Great session. Would love to know what he would tell his 15-year-old self!” This statement reflects Dave’s ability to inspire introspection and personal growth, leaving our attendees motivated and empowered.
Dave’s talk wasn’t just about inspiration; it was also loaded with practical tips that our delegates can take home and apply in their daily lives.
In summary, I can confidently say that this keynote session was one of the highlights of our conference. Dave’s ability to engage, inspire, and motivate was truly exceptional.
Thank you for an unforgettable experience that will continue to resonate with our delegates long after the event. I wholeheartedly recommend Dave Wood to any event seeking to make a lasting impact. We are truly grateful for the incredible contribution to Eventing the Future.”
“Dave is a really engaging speaker that combines his personal experiences with practical examples that anyone can use.
Dave gets his audience to understand that stress is all around us and that we should embrace it and change our language when dealing with stress.
The highlight for me was watching 200 farmers meditating through breathwork led by Dave. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a performance edge – at work or in your personal life.”
“Amazing keynote address by Dave Wood at NZ Events Association – Eventing the Future conference today. It was a ‘refresher’ for me as I was lucky (and so privileged) to be able to spend three days with Dave a while back learning about performance and stress mitigation. He has a deep knowledge and understanding and brings such a practical approach to his subject matter. On top of this he is an absolute legend and amazingly humble! If you can get to one of his workshops don’t hesitate – it will be life enhancing!”
“Dave was a fantastic speaker and brought some fascinating insights to our conference. His presentation style really energised the team and gave us all some awesome tips and tricks to take away.”
“Inviting Dave to speak to some of our athlete leaders provided a great opportunity to dive a little deeper in the mental application of performance and giving them some practical skills to help mitigate the stress and pressure that athletes face not just in their sport but life in general and discussing methods to help them perform when it matters.”
