Pat Riley, one of the highest winning coaches in NBA history says, "It is a book for the new millennium, you must read it!" And Stuart Reeves, Senior Vice President of EDS adds, "If you truly want to succeed in life, Even Eagles Need a Push will help you soar. It is a rare combination of wonderful inspiration and practical ideas."
David's first film, The Power of Purpose, the story of Terry Fox and his epic marathon run across Canada, has been described as a motivational classic.

David has enjoyed an international business career, which has included assignments in South Africa, Europe and the South Pacific. He is now president of Trans-Form Corporation whose sole mission is providing people with the training and education to perform at their best. As the evidence suggests the mission is succeeding.

A new staff development program called "Eagles", based on David's work, has been chosen by companies such as 3M, Chevron, Lockheed, and ABB Boveri to play a key role in preparing their employees for an ever more competitive and complex future. His new film, also called Even Eagles Need a Push, which reveals the five qualities of confident, empowered people, has been released in over twenty countries and is regarded as one of the most successful corporate educational films of all time.

David's second book, The Eagle's Secret - Success Strategies for Thriving at Work & in Life, is based on surveys sent to over six hundred organizations. The Eagle's Secret documents the characteristics and qualities that define those who will thrive rather than just survive in this rapidly changing global economy.

David's reputation as a person who clearly knows what motivates and inspires people is demonstrated not only by his books and films but also by the numerous invitations he receives to speak to audiences all over the world. He is regarded as a powerful and dynamic communicator.

  • I would like to say that I cannot think of any other agent / contractor that I have worked with who has kept me in the loop the way you have. I would like to say, once again, thank you.

  • Helpful, quick response time, flexible and full of alternative suggestions.

  • We hold a number of functions every year and are always in need of entertainment and MCs. I must say it has been a pleasure working with Ovations thus far as they have been a tremendous help, always offering a number of alternatives at a great rate. I look forward to working with them again soon in the future.

  • The Consultants at Ovations were both efficient and helpful in our experience and I would have no hesitation recommending the company to anyone looking to source and book appropriate entertainment. Thanks again!

  • From the telephone inquiry, through to an in-depth meeting with Leanne, every attempt was made to ensure that our brief was well understood and that the trainer presenters would be the most effective people to assist us in meeting our objectives.
