"Utah Foster Care was privileged to have Dr. Dave share his wisdom and enthusiasm with our foster/adoptive parents at our annual symposium. These families came from all over the state of Utah to hear from Dr. Dave and they were richly rewarded with encouragement to strengthen their personal positivity and their relationships with the children in their care. Thank you Dr. Dave for providing a much-needed dose of inspiration!"

"Dr. Dave's keynote address at our Oregon Head Start Association conference was engaging, entertaining, and educational! He is filled with passion, knowledge, and he lives what he teaches. Our attendees summed it up well- "Very engaging, it was a topic of conversation at our group dinner, everyone got something tangible and useful to them out of it, it provided a jumping off place for a deeper dive about personal goals."
