Your audience
deserves more

The era of being talked at is over.
Join leadership and learning
expert David Preston on a journey
through ideas and experiences that
change the way we look at everything.
“In 60 minutes David introduced us to our future selves. Together we overcame obstacles, discovered possibilities, and learned to dream bigger.”
Ironman triathlons. Burning Man art installations. From climbing in Yosemite to trekking through Mongolia and Tibet, flying with a teenage pilot or driving UCLA coaching legend John Wooden to work… David’s got a story for you.
In addition to his organizational development work with clients, and his research and experience in the areas of leadership, innovation, motivation, and conflict, David is the world’s foremost authority on the strategies and practices that have become known as Open-Source Learning.
He will customize a keynote for your audience that invigorates each participant with a rich, interdisciplinary approach to performance and teamwork. David combines learning adventures with insights from biology, neurology, quantum mechanics, and digital/pop culture. And a whole lot of empathy, and a wicked sense of humor.
Your audience will be entertained, moved, and ready to apply what they learn to supercharge their professional performance and their lives.
