David has offered us some fantastic business advice. We were at our lowest point in business and very close to having to pack up until speaking with him. With his positive outlook in all areas regardless on how bad things are he will always show you a silver lining. Thank You David.
Coordination and ability to bring the tools to life using the MIRO whitebaords is fantastic. The session structure worked well for us as a team and enabled and encouraged us as a Senior Team to relflect and think outside of the day to day pressures of enabling the business.
Good time management and as was virtual better than sessions i have had with notes stuck to walls in an office room. The ability to be able to share, change and use outside of sessions is also going to be invaluable.
