KEYNOTE TALKS

Anchored in Faith, Driven by Purpose

In his powerful and deeply personal keynote, David shares the journey that led to his defining leadership philosophy: Be the Wind. David recounts the moment of clarity that came during a windstorm—both literal and societal—when division, distrust, and disruption gripped the world. In the stillness of a deer stand battered by wind, he heard three life-altering words: Be the wind. What followed was a transformation in how he viewed leadership—not as a title or role, but as a calling to move with quiet strength, grounded in faith, shaped by experience, and guided by common sense. David’s keynote challenges audiences to lead authentically, listen differently, and step into their own call to influence—especially when the world feels loud, divided, and uncertain. Inspiring and refreshingly relatable, this talk is for anyone who feels the pull to lead but is unsure where to start.
