Dave believed in me and I truly believe that with all the new learnings that I put into place over the years has helped me to where I am today with my mental aptitude.

Thanks Dave, you are a big man with a big heart.

We wanted our people to move away from being a passenger and to stop relying on others to manage their career planning; we wanted them to look towards taking Ownership, Accountability and Responsibility.

David’s style was very direct

I don’t know what we will do at next year’s conference as David is a hard act to follow!!!

Adrienne Duarte
CFO | BNZ

“Stop, absorb, reflect then engage. David’s style can only be described as real! A truly engaging session that cut through social norms to deliver a hard-hitting and thought-provoking discussion at all emotional levels. Passion, energy and the real truth was stripped back to the essential factors that define us all as people.

After just one session I noticed a huge difference when I did my next training session than I continued to see him week after week and it was honestly like a miracle, all my pain and problems had gone away and I was running the best I have had. I competed in the Sunshine Coast marathon and came 2nd and I 100% know that I would not of achieved this without the help of Troy. He is fantastic, any issue you have from small or major, go in and see him, you won’t regret it

Thank you so much Troy for Friday’s massage before my Gymnastics State Championships Competition. The continuous pain and lack of strength that I suffer in both my knee and my ankle have limited me so much and caused me no grief at all during my competition ! I didn’t win, but I’m still super happy with my results. You’re a miracle worker, thank you,!
