Why David Barrett?
We know you want success for your company. We understand what it's like to spend so much time and energy developing a strategic plan only to have it sit on a shelf and collect dust. It's frustrating to know that you have a great vision, a clear plan, and the desire to see it through, but somewhere along the way, it got stuck. We believe it shouldn't be so hard
David Barrett is a professional speaker and workshop facilitator with 25+ years experience working with organizations to help them execute their plans.
“There is a very wide gap between the work organizations are doing and the strategic plans that they have spent so much time and energy to create.”
