My Experience

For 25 years, I've worked with some of the world's most influential media companies, spending more than 15 of those years leading high-performing sales teams and helping generate hundreds of millions of dollars in annual revenue.

Lasting success isn't just about what people know. It's about how they think, how they communicate, and how they show up.

That's why I founded StanD-Taller.

Today, I work with organizations across industries to challenge conventional thinking, build confidence, and develop the communication and leadership skills that drive stronger relationships and better business outcomes.

My goal isn't simply to teach people something new. It's to help them do something differently.

“We are a contemporary art gallery, and our team was skeptical about the idea of sales training, but Dave’s genuine enthusiasm and curiosity quickly won everyone over. His powerful reframe has influenced virtually every internal company conversation since, transforming how we see collectors: not simply as clients, but as partners in bringing our artists’ visions to life.”
