Dave Maurer Consulting works with motivated leaders to help establish and achieve tangible goals, build and maintain solid working relationships, and realize the levels of success few achieve. Through a tailored approach to individual or group training, personalized consulting, and instructional and motivational presentations, I bring a fresh look at life in the workplace and provide insights into improving relationships, quality, and leadership.
KEYNOTE SPEAKING
I offer a diverse range of interesting and relevant topics for your business meetings, seminars and after-dinner keynotes. My observations about the world of work and the role of inspired leadership offer practical and immediate applications. With more than 3 decades of leadership experience throughout the country and overseas ― in both the military and private sectors ― I bring an unexpected and enlightening perspective to negotiating the workplace.
CONSULTING
Many consultants will teach you how to increase profits and decrease waste, and both are worthy outcomes. The truly excellent consultant will show you how to be a more efficient manager of resources and an inspiring leader of people, reduce turnover, develop and improve relationships, expand your network, learn, grow, and enjoy the ride. I’ll share my insights while helping you apply many essential leadership tenets to your own circumstances.
TRAINING
Adult learning requires a specific approach, critical to today’s often overwhelmed professionals. I call it entertrainment ― we learn more easily and readily when we’re having fun and clearly seeing the practical application of that training to our lives. When I deliver a training session on such topics as leader development, negotiation, or project management essentials, participants claim to learn fast, retain more and are more likely to implement what was taught.

Embracing Change?
Change. I’ve decided that I'm not embracing change anymore; in fact, I don’t like change. Yes, I know “change is a part of life,” “you can’t grow without experiencing change,” “change makes you stronger and more resilient,” and a hundred more platitudes designed to...
Everybody’s Got a “But…”
Excuses. We all have them, and we all use them. We may consider and refer to them as the less offending “explanation,” but we know what they are – excuses, caveats, and exceptions. The “buts” in our language let us off the hook — for at least the time being. Do any of...
