Praise for Dr Dave

“Dr Dave is full of passion and enthusiasm which, combined with his knowledge and insights, are a great recipe for engaging and enthusing audiences and learners alike.  I love how he pricks the bubble of pretension that goes with so much of the academic jargon on leadership.” Peter Thompson.  Presenter, Talking Heads, ABC Television;  Fellow and Professor, Australian and New Zealand School of Government;  Adjunct Professor, Macquarie University;  Director, Centre for Leadership.

“Sensational presentation.  Delegates said that it was inspirational and motivating, and full of fantastic insights.” Nicholas J Ridis, Conference Chair, Australian Marketing Institute National Conference.

“Highly stimulating style of delivery producing unforgettable and challenging takeaways at all levels” David Wang, Telstra Australia

“I thoroughly enjoyed the seminar and the experience.  It certainly helped define and add to my insights on leadership.” Amin Kroll, Managing Director, Hostway Corporation

“I have thoroughly enjoyed your seminars and look forward to meeting you again.” Mikael Dahlgren, General Manager, PMD Consulting

“I have enjoyed your more “human” and entertaining approach.” Judy Ryan, HR Manager, Integral Energy

“Undergoing your program has developed an insatiable appetite to read as much as I can on the people whose leadership shaped the world. Churchill, Roosevelt, Hitler, Gandhi, Kai-shek………, and I am very grateful for that.  The best outcome however, is the confirmation that my decision to change my career to General Management and Corporate Leadership has been the correct one.” Craig Smith, Fmr General Manager, Baxter Healthcare

In addition, typical responses to Dr Dave from MBA students are the following comments:

“Dr Poole provided a real passion for teaching that came through clearly in his enthusiasm leading class discussions as well as the high quality and relevance of the content that was selected for review. I know I will be taking many of the concepts taught within the course and applying them throughout my professional journey.” Andrew Sethumadavan, Accenture

“I just wanted to thank you for your support throughout my first term at university. Studying your MBA class in  Organisational Behaviour was a huge eye opener for me. I hadn’t advanced my education in earlier life so I can tell you that at age of 40, the prospect of going to university was rather daunting.  However, your knowledge, insight and experience coupled with your non formal approach and fresh style of teaching helped me to not only interpret academic speak but also gave me the confidence to continue on with my degree. I am better equipped to complete my MBA thanks to you and I look forward to learning more through your teaching in the not too distant future.”
Tim Powell, National Manager, Personal Lending, Capital Finance
