"David is a very real person. He is humorous, honest and completely genuine. I never realized that such a successful person could be so real that I could find comparisons with myself. That is what David's presentation enables you to discover. Success is not magic; it is not a gift from the Gods. Success is something that we can all achieve. He made me realize that success does not have to be a spectator sport."
"David is a shining example of what can be achieved"
"I have known David since 1996. Because of his unique talent as both a motivational speaker and world class expert on the subject of memory and advanced learning I have booked him to appear on numerous occasions at events, seminars and workshops that we organize on behalf of our clients. These clients include world class companies like Walmart, Boots and Smith & Nephew. They are very discerning and not easy to please. The feedback for David has always been outstanding. What delegates love most about David is not just his excellent sense of humor but his special ability to pass on what he knows in a way that we can all understand and more importantly go away and use. The thing about David's ideas and strategies is that they work and make a massive difference to people's beliefs about what they can achieve in business and life.
On a personal note I think one of David's most outstanding qualities is his level of self-sufficiency. He is a shining example of what can be achieved if you take personal responsibility for your own life and an inspiration to everyone who wants to go from ordinary to extraordinary."
"I felt privileged to be sharing the same room with David"
"I simply want to thank you for your presentation. I felt privileged to be sharing the same room as someone who is living evidence of what can be achieved by strength of mind; this created a sort of magic which made you realize that all things are possible if you can direct your mind in ways which you clearly demonstrated."
"Anyone interested in personal development should not miss seeing David"
"David Thomas, Master of Memory, is a down to earth, humorous and highly entertaining Yorkshireman who demonstrates his remarkable skills in a first class stage performance. He will teach you how to develop those skills. Anyone interested in personal development should not miss seeing David."
"An entertaining speaker who obviously has a total grasp of his subject"
"When I first saw David I was intrigued as to what the content of his presentation would be. My colleague and I found him to be a humorous and therefore entertaining speaker who obviously had a total grasp of his subject. Once more it is evident he enjoys it. As a consequence his enthusiasm is quite infectious and together with his dry sense of humor makes his speech remarkably entertaining. I really defy anybody not to be impressed."
"You will learn how to motivate yourself to achieve more in your life"
"If you are someone who believes that there are limits to what you can achieve and that you are near those limits then you really need to see David Thomas to blow your mind right open. He will take you so far beyond what you thought was possible. As a self-confessed non-academic David's experiences are even more enlightening as they show what we can all achieve given the motivation. With a down-to-earth approach and anecdotes from his previous job as a firefighter David's style is humorous as well as interesting. You may not get into the Guinness Book of Records like David but at least you will learn how to motivate yourself to achieve more in your life."

"David Thomas, a remarkable and down to earth Yorkshireman, shares his secrets and challenges you to develop your own abilities. A must for all concerned with personal growth."
"The guy is an icon and instantly won the audience over with his down to earth approach"
"What can I say about David? The guy is an icon and instantly won the audience over with his down to earth, simple 'anyone can do this' approach. Whilst his talk was certainly aimed at the fun aspect of sharing his information with others it also allowed me to go away and think of ways in which I could apply this to myself and colleagues' working practices back here in Secured Lending. I came away equipped to perform specific skills and I am confident I can share this knowledge and help develop people to improve their performance in all aspects of the work we do. Thanks David, for a brilliant and inspirational presentation."
Testimonials for masterclasses
"You can achieve truly outstanding results"
"After listening to Dave speak, I applied his techniques. The results have been fantastic, particularly in my job where I am constantly meeting new people and need to remember their names after just a brief introduction. David's techniques are simple to use and apply, and by spending a little time learning and developing them you can achieve truly outstanding results."
"I have already overcome my difficulties"
"Not only was I impressed with your world record but you have also done so much to improve my own memory. I have suffered from what I thought was a memory problem with names of people and short lists. Thanks to your help and simple practical ideas I have already overcome my difficulties. The very next morning I was introduced to several new people and I have absolutely no difficulty remembering their names. Thanks once again."
"David gave an insight into the commercial and personal importance of memory"
"You not only gave an insight into the commercial as well as personal importance of memory but also clearly demonstrated how relatively easy it is to help our brains to help us! Your ideas really do work and I know I will have an easier time with my clients now, thanks to you."
"Without doubt, it is the single best thing I have ever learned"
"I really wanted you to know David that after attending your presentation in London I had an amazing experience. I was giving an after dinner speech for 25 minutes. I had spent hours, days even, writing my speech but up on the stage the trick was to remember it. Along came you a week earlier and presented to us. I learnt what you taught us, applied it to the after dinner speech and it worked. Afterwards I came off the platform feeling fantastic that I managed to do it. I also got a number of compliments from the audience who noticed that I had no notes. Without doubt, it is the single best thing I have ever learned. Just wanted you to know."
"David is teaching a highly transferable skill so the potential of what he does is endless"
"I recently attended an event where the speaker was David Thomas who is in the Guinness Books of Records for memory. It was a truly fantastic event – informative, entertaining and inspirational! He gave tips on improving memory (which worked!) and applications to business organizations. Because he is teaching a highly transferable skill the potential of what he does is endless."
"These techniques would be useful for virtually any group of people in any industry"
"Thanks for your recent talk. As a professional salesman I have to remember presentations and information that is constantly changing. The usual way is to make notes; the professional way is to learn your techniques and dispense with the notes. Your no-nonsense delivery and plain speaking enabled me to understand and utilize what had previously been unthinkable. Your techniques would be useful for virtually any group of people in any industry. Thanks again."
"I have been through these memory exercises before but David put them over far more clearly"
"Having just experienced an afternoon with yourself, I am writing to express my thanks for a thoroughly entertaining event. I have been through these memory exercises before and you managed to put this over far more clearly than I have previously experienced. Furthermore, you added a new dimension to the technique which made my understanding and recall much more effective. Your presentation at last enabled me to take these valuable techniques on board and apply them to my day to day business dealings. Much appreciated Dave.
"The systems David demonstrated and taught have been of great practical help"
"I was a little skeptical at first and was expecting some 'tricks'. However, the systems you demonstrated and taught have been of great practical help. The techniques you gave in regard to maintaining retention and recall have been of particular help. I am beginning to amaze myself with my recall of information, particularly names and faces. Once again, thanks for an excellent presentation."
"David helped develop my memory skills tremendously"
"I would recommend that anyone who wants to develop their mind and general wellbeing consider doing David's sessions. He has a unique style that makes it easy to understand the whole concept. He made me feel relaxed as well as comfortable with the pace of the course. The journey technique has helped develop my memory skills tremendously and the speed reading has been useful when having to read information that has been presented in a meeting or training day. One of the fascinating items on the session was being able to memorize a pack of cards. Ask David how to do this and I am sure you will be amazed at how many you can remember."
"The techniques gave immediate results"
"David's enthusiastic yet down to earth style created a really positive atmosphere on the course. The techniques taught gave immediate results – but also something to go away and work at – that can be applied to both the work and non-work parts of our lives."
"David will add significantly to many people's development in the future"
"Thanks for visiting my group and giving us such high level learning in the area of memory development. It was an excellent session and the members were very impressed by their own improvement in such a short time. My own improvement was similarly amazing and I loved the way in which you delivered your material – with humor and openness. I have already recommended you to other Academy Chairmen and anticipate that you will add significantly to many people's development in the future."
