Dr. Cook quickly connected with our executives.

Dr. Cook is one of the most authentic leadership speakers we have engaged and it is a privilege to call him our partner.
We had to opportunity to have Dr. Cook speak to a group of our advisors. He did a remarkable job relating what we do every day to the mental obstacles his clients have encountered in the sports world. He was able to change the way many of us approach the hurdles we face every day in continuing to grow our business.
My team was absolutely blown away both by Dr. Cook's knowledge and experience but even more by his delivery and obvious passion for helping others grow. I've also been fortunate to witness Dr. Cook interact with Fortune 500 CEO's at an annual golf/leadership event at Pine Valley (number 1 rated golf course in the world) and I know for a fact those executives were equally impressed with his communication skills and added value to their leadership styles.
David Cook is an extraordinarily gifted coach, counselor, speaker and writer who is able to motivate and encourage people like no one I've ever seen.
