WHAT THEY SAY

We get too many "thank you's" to list them all here, but thanks go to the many hundreds that write through.

"Always superb! Way to go!"

"Your message was truly relevant to anyone who aspires 'to live the life , (as David Henry Thoreau puts it) for which he has imagined'. Your message made us laugh, it inspired us, and sincerely, almost moved me to tears. David, you are one of the most delightful and inspiring speakers I have ever heard and have no hesitation, whatsoever, full heartily, recommending you to other organizations."
Phil Taylor, President
GoalAchievers International Inc.

"Well done! You are a very proficient speaker who always leads your audience exactly where you would like them to go."

"Thank you for a wonderful speech and many lessons that you gave to us. You were just as awesome as you were in the fall conference - that potato speech was awesome. I thought that was sooooo creative thank you so much. I am looking forward to your workshop in April
Thanks a million"

"Yes, I do see you as a guide in my life and I very much appreciate and value your comments and thoughts. You have a way of simplifying thoughts and giving them a different perspective. I like that. Thanks David."

Thank you so much for all your ideas, David, you sure inspired Glenn and we have an idea where we're going again. We talked about it till 2 a.m. in the
hot tub (which is where all dreaming takes place, right?)
Changing paths mid-life is not easy, but it sure is rewarding. No regrets, and it's getting better and better."

"Having a guest speaker, like David Hooker, come talk to us and give us his personal tips on how to do a presentation made the course more interesting."

"David was a really good speaker and motivated us to do better"

"You achieved tonight what I wanted. You touched my heart, made me 'weepy' and then brought me back with laughter"

"Well prepared with a great ability to ad-lib. Very funny yet informative!"

"David provided the keynote speech at the 2003 Durham Region Optimist Youth Oratorical contest. He volunteered to act as a contest judge and when the opportunity came up to also provide a motivational talk to help inspire the youth, he used his positive Dogash attitude and just jumped right in. Audience members ranged from 6 years old to over 60. David gave a great talk that both inspired the youth and all other people attending the contest. We highly recommend him."
Optimist Scott McAthey, Ajax Optimist club, 2003 Durham Region Optimist Youth
Oratorical Chair

"Everyone enjoyed your entertaining manner of introducing thought provoking ideas to get the positive ions flowing."

"Despite the language difference, David captivated the audience with his enthusiasm, actions and expressions. He made integrating into mainstream society more fun using excellent examples that the audience could relate to . Not only he was a star on stage, he shined through off stage. He was the only keynote speaker that took the extra time to familiarize himself with the environment beforehand. Thank you David for your hardwork and excellent speech. Working with you was indeed a pleasurable experience.

in Chinese:
雖然David的演講必須透過翻譯傳達﹐ 他的熱情﹑ 動作及表情成功的讓觀眾將焦點集中在他身上。 他利用生動﹑ 實用的例子講解如何融入主流社會﹐ 現場笑聲不斷﹐ 掌聲連連。 除此之外﹐ 他也是唯一事先抵達演講地點察看﹐ 準備的主講人。 他的配合讓工作流程更加順利。 我在此衷心感謝David﹐ 希望日後我們還有合作的機會。

"I especially appreciate your delivery style and the attention that commands from the audience"

"Brilliant, spellbinding, captivating, interesting and amazing (lifting of the
guy) Well done!"

"Thank you so much for the fabulous afternoon yesterday. I am truly inspired and see so many possibilities"

""Wow, what a great presentation. David, your material was top notch and delivered with your usual flair and energetic style. Thanks for helping us learn more about ourselves and for making us laugh at the same time. Your presentation was thoroughly enjoyable and offered much value for future use."
Francis J. Theriault, ATM, PM

"Thanks David for the wonderful advice! I have spent the last 2 hours contacting....er should I say re-contacting people and I'm on a roll thanks to you. In fact, I called a woman to inquire about something and it looks like I will end up being their speaker for their quarterly meeting of the Durham Tourist Bureau. And there's more....lots more. Once I wrap my brain around a precious gem of wisdom I never forget it! It was a great piece of advice."

Thanks David - I'm learning every day new things about myself and my world. I feel I have made a progress of thousands of light years in the past year. You should be proud of what you have done too, you have jumpstarted my soul and that I will never forget. Yours with Health, Wealth & Love,
