“I just returned from vacation today and rifled through the evaluations. There was a HUGE response for your talk—many attendees have requested that you come back again!! Thanks for helping us to make our first ever Cancer Survivors’ Conference a big success. I’m sure we’ll be in touch in the future. All our best to you and your wonderful wife. Thanks for sharing your story with us!”

“I wanted to let you know how helpful and inspiring your presentation at Baylor Plano last night was to me and the other audience members. I went for a bit of a different reason; I am not a cancer patient, but I was recently laid off from my job and am facing some tough times. So when I saw the title of your talk: “You Can Handle More Than You Think You Can,” I knew I wanted to attend.
Your 12 “L’s” comprise a smart way to handle any difficult situation. You lifted my spirits and I felt a surge of purpose and determination by the time the evening was over.
But the really uplifting part of the evening came after your talk was over. I was talking to three breast cancer patients who had been sitting near me during the presentation. They were all touched and heartened by your words and the common-sense strategies you offered to handle every aspect of the cancer journey (or any other difficult journey.) One very beautiful and very bald lady looked me right in the eye and said, “He put hope in my heart."
You put hope in my heart, too, Dave. Thank you, and many blessings to you and your beautiful wife, Chris, for sharing your inspiring story.
