David was retained to develop a Group Facilitation strategy, for a workshop setting, to assist with the assessment and refinement of a broad range of policies for the development of a community driven Source Water Protection Plan. David's knowledge, experience and dedication to the planning and implementation of the full day workshop were evident throughout. All workshop participants agreed that David was an excellent workshop facilitator and leader. David also provided follow up assistance to ensure that all of the planned outcomes were achieved.

Hello Dave: Just wanted to drop a quick note to say thanks for your excellent facilitation skills in helping launch the CK Community Leaders' Cabinet. You were the perfect person to work with executive leaders and navigate an idea to action. In addition, your presentation to Municipal Council on Cultivating Growth Through Healthy Active Citizens; Investing in our Human Infrastructure was engaging as you were a great catalyst to challenge mindsets for important investments through giving facts, telling stories and connecting with the audience. Your presentation has been referenced multiple times which indicates the impact you had.

We recently held our 2015 Professional development Day for which Mr. Courtemanche was the keynote speaker. He is a dynamic speaker and his presentation was undoubtedly the perfect way to wrap up our event. Even after a long day he was able to capture everyone's attention. The feedback we received from our participants was extremely positive. He certainly helped in making our event a great success and his presentation reflected perfectly the theme of our event. I would recommend Mr. Courtemanche to anyone requiring an uplifting and motivating speaker.

David was a keynote speaker at our Bridges to Better Business Conference. His session on Seeing your Business through a Leadership Lens encouraged attendees to rethink their perspectives on leadership and how they see themselves as business leaders. We received very positive feedback from David’s presentations and would certainly recommend him as a conference speaker.

Eric Lavergne-Giroux

Regional Business Centre

In February 2016, we held a strategic planning session and David Courtemanche was the guest speaker that we engaged to kick off our session and “set the stage”, with a mandate to challenge us to “think outside the box”. Due to a variety of circumstances, David was only engaged by us at the last minute and he responded enthusiastically and professionally. With his unique perspective, he delivered a message that was not only relevant to our session but provided the platform to which we referred back to during our session. We were extremely pleased with the results and would not hesitate to engage David for future engagements.
