Attending one of Dave’s talks was incredibly motivating and something which I would highly recommend. Whilst Dave’s story is incredibly emotional, Dave managed to engage with the audience which enabled us to understand Dave’s story.
The sense of humour that was added gave the speech a nice balance and brought out another side of Daves very admirable personality. Lastly, the purpose that Dave gave the speech was fantastic and after the talk I felt equally moved and inspired.
This kind of service would be beneficial to anyone in my opinion and I hope that Dave has an impact on many others as he has on me.

I had the pleasure of attending Dave’s inspirational talk . Dave captivated us with his personal story that illustrated the challenges faced in his journey, creating an atmosphere charged with emotion and motivation. Throughout the talk Dave uses his personal experiences, research and actionable advice and I highly recommend attending any future talks for anyone looking to gain fresh perspectives on personal growth and resilience .

Wow! what a evening and speech delivered by Dave.
His story was inspiring, emotional and remarkable.
I have attended various guest speaker evenings, this will be one I will never forget.
The complete room was gripped.
The way Dave was able to talk about his journey from a young child, to the battles he has beaten later in life is simply second to none.
Thanks Dave for a great evening and sharing your story, a tough story and one that I will never forget.
Thanks
Nick Ball.

I experienced many emotions listening to Dave’s remarkable story. It is an extremely powerful account of such a traumatic experience and the subsequent impact it has had on Dave’s life. The overriding message though is one of hope in the face of adversity which Dave delivers naturally, balanced with humour to a fully engaged audience. I would wholeheartedly recommend listening to Dave’s talk - you can’t fall but be inspired by it! More...

I recently attended a talk with Dave and his recently launched ‘Be Remarkable’ project.
It was an incredibly powerful and moving speech which captivated the large audience.
Mixed with a perfect balance of humour and much food for thought, it kept us all captivated throughout.
Would thoroughly recommend anyone to take the time to attend one of Dave’s talks as he describes the unimaginable journey in life following the murder of his mother.

Dave’s personal story is something that most of us can thankfully never expect to experience.
Against that backdrop it is truly remarkable that he has managed to harness the tragedy of such an event to deliver a presentation which you cannot fail to be touched by.
His delivers with (obvious) emotion, passion and no little humour which is incredibly engaging when part of the audience.
That he is also able to share warts and all insights into the problems and lessons that he has faced during his journey leading to the purpose that he has finally found is humbling to witness….. Dave shows that we can all be remarkable and I challenge anyone to not be inspired by what they hear.

I whole wholeheartedly recommend BeRemarkable. After attending an event to listen to Dave’s incredibly inspiring life story, I have have never witnessed a situation where the entire audience was totally awestruck by the presentation given to them.
I have since recommended Dave to various people as his powerful story will be perfect for Educational Institutions, Businesses (whether it be for a one off session to improve resilience or a longer course to inspire courage, bravery, change, team work etc). I have seen many inspiring presentations during my career (including from many famous people) and Dave is definitely right at the top of the list of people who I would highly recommend. I would be than happy for anyone to reach out for more information, as I am very passionate for many people to be as inspired by Dave as I was.
Kind regards,
Darren Mackey

What a humble yet powerful account delivered with such honesty and humanity that it kept me totally engaged throughout. This is such an inspiring presentation of human spirit, traumatic and devastating. Yet the way Dave tells his story with honesty and some humour leaves you uplifted. Can’t fail to inspire. More...

I attended a be remarkable event back in May and left with an odd combination of emotions. The content made me sad but I was energised by how Dave was dealing with the torment.
The details are harrowing in parts but Dave finds a way to add humour to lighten the mood elsewhere.
A must for anyone or any group who is looking to create or improve resilience.

I attended Dave's first presentation. The audience were captivated and inspired by the emotional and powerful portrayal of Dave's story. The trauma Dave had to and still does endure is unimaginable, but having travelled the difficult path and learnt to manage the pain and emotion and channel the negatives into a positive message of hope for others. Dave has shown that through adversity, and pain, a light can still shine and Dave is a beacon for many people who've suffered, perhaps not the same tragic circumstances, but their own personal challenges in life. Daves inspirational approach, balanced with humour , powerful emotion and strong engagement with the audience will ensure that anyone attending his presentstions will take away an inspirational message of hope.

A truly unforgettable and motivating experience! More...
What do you love most about your job?
Seeing people change.
Seeing the joy and excitement in people's eyes and whole body language when they make a breakthrough in whatever is challenging them. That could be overcoming fear, anxiety or other significant challenges or gaining the self-confidence to make the change in life they've longed for, usually finding their purpose!
What inspired you to start your own business?
There have been 'crumbs' of clues, but significant ones over recent years that led me to discover my purpose: making a difference to other people.
I'm at my best, working with people, from managing project teams in the corporate world as a consultant change manager to volunteering at a Priory Hospital in London where I shared my story.
Why should our clients choose you?
I think my reviews answer that best.
But in a nutshell, whatever is challenging us, we don't have to be stuck.
I believe our greatest adversities can become our greatest strengths, and I also believe my story can inspire that change.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Both.
I prefer giving talks in person but can do remote sessions if the quality of the technology is known and proven first.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
I started my coaching business after Covid restrictions were lifted.
And I am always happy to adhere to the requirements of a customer.
