Kurt A. David has lived a life many might envy.....as a pro athlete, best-selling author, TV host/executive producer, business owner, counselor, and consultant to world class athletes - he has gained invaluable firsthand knowledge watching people reach dizzying heights and - sometimes - subsequent slippery slopes.  Kurt's message is one of reaching success while overcoming change and adversity and best with organizations and businesses facing transition, change, and adversity.  He has presentation experience with the following industries:  Communication, Construction, Education, Energy, Entertainment, Finance, Healthcare, Insurance, Legal, Manufacturing, Military, Non-profit, Sports, and Women's Groups.

My Mission

I seek to Educate, Entertain, and Inspire people of ALL ages to be SUCCESSFUL despite the Transition, Change and Adversity we often face.

Meet Kurt
Following a successful basketball career that included playing professionally in Europe I was injured at the prime of my athletic career.  This forced me into one of the most difficult changes of my life; I had to walk away from something I loved. In good company, as 100% of professional athletes ultimately experience job termination, one can either succumb to the difficulties associated with such a change or develop new strategies for success.  With a deep motivation to help others I pursued a Masters degree in counseling and have ultimately become a transition consultant for professional and Olympic athletes as they move from being sports icons to the next phase of their lives.

What Can I Do For You? 

I can bring my motivating system for achieving SUCCESS while managing the change and adversity your business or organization might have experienced.  I'll help your audience navigate the constant change of today's economic and social climate.  My proven system will help you reach SUCCESS while embracing change and adversity and covering these key topics:  Adversity, Attitude, Career Development, Change, Goal Setting, Leadership, Motivation, Networking, Resiliency, Sports, Success, and Teambuilding.

With masterful stories about how successful individuals and businesses have overcome many adverse challenges, I make every story easily transferable to the lives of my audience.  In the process of entertaining them - I offer unparalleled life lessons that are meaningful and long-lasting on overcoming failure and gaining success.

My R.U.L.E.S. for Success and acronym for A.T.T.I.T.U.D.E. are something your audience cannot afford to miss.

 

Personal

I currently reside in Metro Detroit with my wife and two young daughters where I'm a Keynote Speaker, Best-Selling Author, Internationally Certified Sports Counselor, TV Host/Executive Producer, Business Owner, Counselor, and Consultant to World Class Athletes.  Despite my extremely busy schedule I enjoy sharing my time and resources with many charities.  My favorites include the Volunteers of America Michigan, the annual MIND OVER MATTER Bike Event benefiting the Alzheimer's Association, the CURVES for the CURE Breast Cancer event, and many local Youth Assistance organizations.
