“Synergy Sand Film” – Dave is the only speaker in the world that uses innovative, rarely seen, moving sand art. Experience the connection between the film and keynote/event theme and realize in the first three minutes that choosing Dave to speak at your event was a great decision! “Viewing the sand film was a unique and innovative way to key into the theme of Dave Gerber’s presentation to our annual state league staff workshop. It brought home the point that anything worth creating — and worth creating well — has to be done at the right pace and with a team of people who can work well together. Our meeting attendees very much enjoyed the film and the way it so beautifully connected to the theme of Dave’s program.”
— Scott A. Morris | Manager, State League Programs, National League of Cities

 

“Dave delivered an outstanding presentation at a recent SHRM conference, inspiring the HR professionals in attendance to make conflict work to the benefit of their organizations. His dynamic, high energy style coupled with his expert use of multi-media kept the audience at the edge of their seat and fully engaged throughout. His cutting-edge approach to conflict was truly transformative. I would highly recommend him as a speaker or trainer for companies who are ready to revolutionize the way they think about their people.”
— Shira Harrington | Founder & President, Purposeful Hire, Inc.

 

“Dave Gerber exceeded my expectations from start to finish. Our packed conference had 110 professionals that were fully engaged, in appreciation of valuable training and entertained for the 4 hours he spoke. Dave is one of the best presenters and trainers I have seen in my 44+ year experience in the industry, with conference attendance and as a board member. Not only can he present extremely well, his content knowledge is extensive and his passion seemed unlimited. Dave would be a great asset to any conference, convention, workshop or training seminar!”
— Fred Klein | President, TRI STATE ASHI

 

“Dave Gerber’s passionate delivery and relevant information resonated with me, as it did for nearly 100 others in attendance at his recent ‘On Fire Leadership’ seminar at the Washington DC PMI Chapter. His high energy, effective and memorable use of humor and certainly, the exceptional content of his presentation made for a most impressive training experience. He understands the world of work, and more specifically, the world of project management. His integration of fresh approaches to success within the context of projects will prove most useful to me immediately and in the future. I was so impressed with our training day that I am looking forward to hiring Dave for two events of my own.”
— Sandi Redman | Project Manager, NTCA

“Within any organization, conflict is present in a variety of ways. Whether the conflict is positive or negative most people are uncomfortable handling on their own. Without question, Synergy Development & Training has developed programs and useful tools that have helped us make an immediate impact to make conflict a productive interaction between individuals. Each year they have consistently delivered innovative, passionate, and actionable skills that support our drive toward excellence and help our staff members develop competencies throughout the organization. Managers and employees leave each class energized and viewing conflict more as an opportunity to minimize concerns and less as an excuse or risk to avoid something. I offer my highest recommendation for Synergy Development and Training to develop and deliver your Conflict Resolution coursework.”
— Lee Corbett | Manager, Performance and Development

 

“I selected Dave Gerber to be the keynote speaker at the opening general session of the National League of Cities (NLC) State League Staff Workshop, which is an annual 2 1/2 day program sponsored by NLC for the staffs of state municipal leagues around the country. I am glad that I asked Dave to be the keynote because he was passionate and engaging and did a very good job of connecting with the audience. I received a lot of positive feedback onsite about Dave’s presentation, with several meeting attendees telling me that he knew his subject well, and that they learned a lot about team building and conflict resolution. I would recommend Dave Gerber to any organization!”
— Scott A. Morris | Manager of State League Programs, Center for Member Programs, National League of Cities

 

“We enjoyed having Dave Gerber speak to our management team at our recent workshop. Dave’s content was informative and very applicable and his delivery was innovative and captivating. His approach to training made the new subject matter easy to understand and apply. His model on “how to plan for difficult discussions” is compelling, practical, and easy to use. We now have a defined path and the potential to heighten collaboration, increase performance and potentially avoid the loss of efficiencies that stem from unaddressed conflict in our workplace. I highly recommend Dave Gerber to anyone looking to equip themselves and their employees with these skills to manage conflict, thereby improving their organizational culture.”
