I feel strongly that each of us has the capacity to reach out and touch the lives of others for good. For some of us it is with the resources we are blessed with; for others it is with the talents we have and skills that we have developed, and yet for others it is with the corny and often over-rated dad jokes and silliness that we are all too often over filled with.
That capacity to bless and help others isn't very helpful without the desire to serve. While dentistry has provided me a means to support my family, it has also provided me many opportunities to reach out to those less fortunate, both with regard to financial means they posses and with regard to their individual dental and orofacial health. I desire and feel obligated to give back to the profession, and to give back to the people who rely on the services rendered the dental profession.
I am a family focused man. I have been married to my sweetheart since May ‘00, and we have 5 children. My wife and my children are the center of my life. I was called to serve a 2-year mission to the people of Taiwan where I learned to speak the Mandarin Chinese language. I was blessed with the opportunity to serve them in a variety of ways, and on a variety of levels.

Before this course, I struggled with procrastination and felt stuck. The exercises on values and purpose were eye-opening. I now have a better understanding of myself and how to create momentum in life.

Dave has a unique way of making complex ideas simple and relatable. His stories, humour, and actionable steps helped me break out of a rut. I feel more confident and motivated to pursue my personal goals.”

Absolutely transformative! The content is clear, well-structured, and delivered with genuine care. I especially appreciated the emphasis on small steps — it made taking action less intimidating and more sustainable.

After taking this, I set three major goals and then broke each into weekly tasks. I’m only two weeks in but I feel more “in motion” than I have in months. The clarity I got was worth it.

The instructor’s personal story (dentist + flower-farm + father of five) comes through and makes the course feel human. I didn’t feel like I was listening to a slick self-help guru. That increased my trust

The modules on habit-formation and goal-setting were useful. I felt the video lengths were short enough to fit into my evenings. That said, I wish there were more downloadable worksheets to practice offline.

What helped me most: the shift in mindset around ‘apathy’ not as laziness, but as a signal. That reframing opened me up to change. I’m now doing one mini-action each day instead of waiting for big motivation
By Estelle Courseaux on 11/4/2025
Good course if you’re feeling stuck. It gave me structure and a language to talk about what I want. On the flip side, if you’re already very motivated and have strong routines, you might find parts of it basic.

Love how the instructor explains abstract concepts in simple, relatable ways. It doesn’t feel like theory . it feels personal.
By Mari ana on 9/6/2025
Solid course. A bit long in some parts, but the examples kept me engaged. The bit about ‘accidental success’ really stuck with me
