“Dave Gerber’s passionate delivery and releveant 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 to be 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.”
