“Team Awesome,
As you know, I LOVED the Storytelling masterclass, so much that I've been digging into the HeadGain content every day. This is, by far, the most valuable online course I've ever (been) signed up for and I've done MANY of them on Coursera, EdX, etc.”
Stefan SchmagerGoogle - Video & Brand Measurement Lead
“I understand now why it is called "WOW - Self Leadership". Halfway through the course I've experienced multiple "wow-moments" and I am super excited! Thank you so much for this opportunity!”
Richard BrettéusSigholm - Project Manager
“I launched a new consulting business in 2020 using both of David’s "Story-selling" and 110 steps communication methods to build a strong brand online. Combined with a modified version of his PowerPoint technique for written business proposals and interactive digital course materials, our sales have increased by a staggering 2400%. Instead of wasting time prospecting, we are now able to focus on helping entrepreneurs succeed through consistent quality content production. Thank you, David … for giving us time to care for people who matter."

"I have been teaching Presentation Skills for the last 5 years, so I consider myself someone who knows what she's talking about. I also love to learn and was super curious to see what David would produce seeing as I have been using his Death by Powerpoint video in my courses for years. WOW! So many little tricks, so incredible to see behaviour codified in this way. SO SO useful. If only this was taught in schools. I'm revolutionised - you should try it too."
