"David Gunter has worked with a variety of students at Beerwah High very effectively, he relates well to students and through his personal stories has had a strong impact on students. David most recently presented to boys across all year levels and he was able to engage a range of students and deliver strong messages about making good life choices and developing self-confidence. I recommend David to anyone seeking a strong speaker able to engage young people to make good life choices"

"When delivering a youth related program across our region, it is always a challenge to host initiatives which develop a rapport with and have a lasting impact on our young people, particularly those at risk.

The I Roll with Dave presentation captivated our young audiences with its honesty and no excuses philosophy. It's not about making excuses, but focusing on the choices you make and the future they create. Additionally, the ongoing mentoring offered by Dave provides an additional avenue for support, particularly beneficial to youth living in regional and remote communities."

"Dave is legend; he made me realise I can reach any goal I aim for, with or without the support of everyone around me. Dave is an inspiration! He left our school having changed and made great impacts on every student's lives. He has made me excited for my future and I can only thank him for it!"

Kate Wasmund - Student

"Myself and another staff member had the privilege of presenting Dave to the boys from Grade 9, 10 & 11 from our school. In eight and half years of chaplaincy I have seldom witnessed a guest speaker who has been able to engage a group of male students for an hour session. Dave did that even in the last session of the day when kids are tired and losing focus generally - he built a great rapport and gave them some great guidance and told some ripper stories. We are definitely keen on getting Dave back; we hope we still can in the future as we know that he is getting very popular."

Mike Turner
School Chaplain

I Roll With Dave!"

Brogan - Year 12 student

What the counselors and physiologists have tried achieving in the last few years with me, David achieved in a couple weeks.I can't thank David enough for helping me make the first step in becoming the man I always wanted to be"

Dallas - Former Prisoner

"Before I met Dave I had been looking for a job as an apprentice Chef for three years and my job agency encouraged me to do the 'I Roll With Dave" full day goal setting workshop which I did.I couldn't believe how much I learned about setting goals in every aspect of my life.Through changing a few habits and the way I think, within two weeks of completing Dave's workshop I got the Chef apprenticeship I had been dreaming of and have a ten year goal of owning my own restaurant...Thank you David for changing my life"

Zac - Student

"I had been suspended from school twice and was about to be expelled from year 10.After seeing Dave talk I made a decision that I was going to CHOOSE a different path for my life.Last year (2009) I graduated from year 12!"

Jake - Student

I've had the pleasure of working with Dave for the past 2 years inviting him to speak to youth who need direction, guidance and inspiration.Dave has liaised closely with schools, teachers and in some cases the police to reach out to these kids and give them the hope and support they need to help them make better choices.

Daves no-nonsense approach is supported by genuine love and empathy for these kids.His real life experiences set him apart from most information sessions the kids see and he is able to give them straight forward answers and positive re-enforcement as well as genuine follow-up and aftercare.I look forward to continuing to invite Dave into more schools and homes to help change the lives of the kids I work with.

Suzie Macpherson - Youth Connections West Moreton

Dave is truly inspirational! I don't want to let him down because he believes in me so much. Who would have thought that 70 goals in 7 days could motivate me so much?"

Jessica Ray - Youth Director, The Esther Foundation.

Dave has helped to kick start my future! Im so excited about what's ahead now! I never thought setting and keeping goals would make such a difference in my life! Thanks for everything Dave!"

Chloe

Your Talk effected my life because I have had in rough to and its shown me that that ill be fine. It was a real eye opener"

Tahlia - Student

David has an amazing story and shows a definite inner strength by telling young people about his life journey. He has a rare honesty and they find him easy to relate to and instantly feel comfortable with. He has been able to engage each of the participants at their level and everyone commented on how much they benefited.

David's mentoring and life skills are comprehensive, tailored to Youth and their specific needs, and presented with the accumulated insight of an experienced professional. His obvious enthusiasm to give back to the community is what makes David such a valuable asset to schools. He has been willing to give up his own time to contribute. I could not recommend David more highly."

Joel - Student

"David gives an inspiring recount of his life and this is followed by a meaningful workshop on goal setting. The boys who participated in this activity were motivated to reset goals and find incremental steps to achieve them. A very worthwhile presentation and feedback suggests that David's impact has been longlasting."

Kim Rienecker - Guidance Counsellor

"Dave is not afraid to wake up this generation with the truth".

Candy Fernando – Youth Worker

"St John's College has invited David Gunter to speak to students from various Year levels at different times. David's poingant message of making good decisions early in life is intertwined within his own personal journey. We have found our students to connect with his witty and entertaining style and benefit greatly from his real stories about real people. We know that some students have made life changing decisions after engaging in one of his workshops".
