CAN DAVID TAILOR HIS
PRESENTATION TO US?

Of course. David will always aim to tailor his message to meet your specific objectives and to meet the expectations and needs of your audience. David will normally ask for a briefing (email support@davidthomas.asia to book a meeting either over the phone or in person) and will often request more details about your event so he can fully prepare in advance.
