What David's leadership keynotes cover
Leadership in Lending
The signature keynote. How to build a culture of accountability, growth, and excellence inside a mortgage organization — without the corporate platitudes. Hiring, coaching, developing managers, and the daily disciplines of a leader who still gets respect from the producer who carries the team.
Leading Through Market Compression
What changes — and what doesn't — when rates move, volume drops, and the team starts looking at the door. The frameworks David's used through multiple rate cycles to keep teams producing, retained, and growing.
The Producer-Leader Transition
For the top producer who just got promoted into management. What got you here won't get you there, and the gap is bigger than most companies acknowledge. A practical session for new managers and the executives who hired them.
Building a Bench That Actually Promotes
Most lending orgs say they develop leaders. Most don't. David walks through the operating cadence — feedback loops, coaching frameworks, and structural moves — that actually produces internal promotions instead of external hires.
Endurance Leadership
What ultrarunning and climbing taught David about long-horizon leadership: pacing, repair, decision-making under fatigue, and the difference between sustainable intensity and burnout.
