Dear Dave
SPEAKING ENGAGEMENT – MENSA SOUTH AFRICA
On behalf of the committee and members of MENSA I would like to express in writing my sincere thanks to you for having given up an evening of your time to address us at our monthly meeting.
The rapport which you developed with the audience was quite remarkable. I think it is a result of the very heartfelt sincerity with which you share your views. They were very emotionally involved with what you were saying and not surprisingly, I had a few people come to me afterwards to say that you were the best speaker we’ve had in a long time.So much thanks to you.
I trust that things will go well with you and that we will meet again some time soon.

“Well David, let me tell you what you proved to be for me: You are the complete index listing of all my tools in my huge tool box. You pointed out how I can find the correct tool in times when I could just not locate him, yet it was right in front of my nose.
You are the GPS that knows the way to many destinations. You are the knife that cuts through a lhttps://growthpoint.org/accolades/ot of bull dust – especially the politically correct kind.

Dear Dave,
The feedback from our students on the two talks you gave them this term has been so positive and the fact that many of them returned to school after the beginning of their official study leave shows that they were keen to hear what you had to say to them. There was much discussion after the sessions over cups of coffee and Milo and it was good to see them so enthusiastic and debating various points.
We hope we can plan to have you speak to our new intake of students next year and we will be in touch with you in good time to set up dates and content etc.
The enclosed comes with our sincere thanks and our best wishes for the continuation of your very successful lecture programme.
Yours sincerely

Dear Dave,
What an exhilarating experience!
To keep ninety delegates spellbound for four hours talking about human abilities and potential, without a single reference to any notes or using any aids, speaks of an inner conviction about your own purpose in life which is so overwhelming, that it shocked us all back to real life again.
Thank you very much – all of us in the Bernina network are keenly looking forward to another revealing and motivating adventure with you.
