David offers a very useful survey which maps your personal values system against those of other cultures. I would recommend this to anyone relocating to another country or working with people from another culture. Combined with David's expert feedback I have gained real insight and practical tools to dealing with the the 'culture' change. As a third culture kid, it has even greater meaning. Thank you David!

I've been working with David over the past year (2012-2013) on change management projects. David is an inspiring person because of both his impressive interpersonal communication skills and his understanding of organisational change management. I've learnt a lot from him as he is always willing to share his experience.

Even under pressure, David knew how to adapt to the audience to deliver the right message. He organised the Thales HR convention during his consulting mission in France by coaching top management, organising workgroups, managing the event and animating it (more than 400 participants)in a multicultural context. He made it a successful event.

So far the best consultant I have been working with
