Dave is a wonderful speaker.  His workshops create space for participants to engage in meaningful ways.  I've always gotten a lot of support and information from Dave's presentations and look forward to seeing more!

His past experiences, including serving as an officer offers great perspective to implementing motivational interviewing and putting what he practiced into training initiatives for others to benefit from.

Dave has a passion for policing and higher education.  Dave breaks motivational interviewing down so that everyone will be able to utilize this tool.  I would whole-heartily encourage you to have Dave come speak to your staff and/or agency.
