Training Philosophy

David is a strong advocate of learner-centered training and emphasizes learning transfer over content delivery. His programs are designed not only to impart knowledge but to inspire participants to apply their learning in practical, results-driven ways.

David Lau is one of the most competent trainers I have met. I truly appreciate his constructive and critical feedback which will help participants improve our skills. He's great at accessing! It's amazing that I have not felt a type of sleepiness or drowsiness during the 5 days training despite my lack of sleep.
