The content of the presentation was rich and evidence-based. The students and I appreciated hearing about the methodology of your research and the key findings that emerged. I was especially impressed by your ability to share a number of specific best practices for increasing engagement in a compressed timeframe.

Professor and Leonard A. Hadley Chair in Leadership – Department of Management & Entrepreneurship, Tippie College of Business

Outstanding presenter and discussion facilitator. He effectively leveraged the knowledge and experience of the attendees to make both sessions rich, educational, practical, and immediately actionable.

Phenomenal course. Genuinely, a great session led by someone who knows how to communication. Dr. Schreiner knows the WHY behind these lessons and he delivers the message effectively. Please continue to share with others.

Had an inspiring evening listening to Dr. David Schreiner talk about being a values-driven leader. His book hits the shelves on January 16, but we got an early release copy! If you’re looking to improve employee engagement and communication, this book is a must-read for all leaders.

I thought your speech was very well done, relevant of our current situation, meaningful to the audience, and very true to our mission. I thought it was excellent.

David engaged his audience and practiced what he was teaching – listen, validate, recognize, and encourage. I appreciate the cadence of content, the pausing, and reflecting on what was said. He remained curious and interested in what we were saying. I will definitely continue my journey with AI and reach out to him. I would take another course offered as the speaker. Well done.

Really enjoyed this topic, the materials, and the interaction with all the attendees. Well done!
