Danièle Bienvenue, Coach – Facilitator at Management Savvy Inc.“Play Break is a breath of fresh air, a moment of fun during a busy day, an opportunity to play and laugh with people you haven’t met yet, an inspiration for new activities in your future meetings, a place where the rules are simple: be there for 20 minutes and let David take you to a safe space that will energize you.”
Jeffrey Ring, Ph.D. Health Psychologist, Leadership Coach and Health Justice Champion“I loved David’s Play Break! I continue to float with delight, pleasure and a big warm smile. He amazes me with his facilitation capacity to bring together total strangers into a place of creativity, humor, and sweet connection.”
