“It isn't in the moderation, the reduction, the elimination of these characteristics, it's in the amplification of them that we find success. And that's one of the lessons that we just do not hear.” - David Rendall
David Rendall inspires others to see value in what others may cast off as a weakness. To recognize what makes them unique and flaunt it as a strength.
During the last fifteen years, David Rendall has spoken to audiences on every inhabited continent. His clients include the US Air Force, the Australian Government, and Fortune 50 companies such as Microsoft, AT&T, United Health Group, Fannie Mae, and State Farm.
Prior to becoming a Certified Speaking Professional, he was a leadership professor, stand-up comedian, and nonprofit executive.
In between presentations, David competes in ultramarathons and Ironman triathlons.
David has a doctor of management degree in organizational leadership, as well as a graduate degree in psychology. He is the author of four books: The Four Factors of Effective Leadership, The Freak Factor, The Freak Factor for Kids, and Pink Goldfish 2.0.
It was an amazing conversation with David and here are some highlights:
- How strengths and weaknesses connect
- How everything shifts when you amplify your weaknesses and see them as strengths
- The importance of realigning with yourself—and this starts at self-awareness
