Stephen Ryan recommends Doctor Petherick

David also gave two great workshops in the afternoon of the conference and the feedback from those attending was excellent. If you are looking for someone to talk about LinkedIn at your event look no further than David. On top of his expertise on LinkedIn David is also one of the nicest guys I’ve ever had the opportunity to work with, I was blown away by his engagement with everyone at the conference and with his replies to people online after the event was finished. Looking forward to having David back in Cork again in the future." - Stephen Ryan, Founder, 24 Stories
"Knowledgeable, professional, flexible and highly attentive..."
"David delivered an excellent package for us that started with an inspiring and very enjoyable group presentation which got all of our diverse team aligned with a common sense of purpose and focus. He followed that up by providing detailed 40-minute remote phone and skype consultations with everyone on the team, delivered one to one, covering the US to the UK. He was also able to spend time one on one with our founder and CEO to assist and guide his social media activity.

He believes wholeheartedy in what he does, and he loves it to bits. This comes across not only in his ability to enthuse those with whom he works, but also in his uncompromising attention to detail and determination to offer the best possible solution, depending upon the specific situation." - David Cant
"David is one of the good guys. I met David at StartupCamp in London a couple of year ago. StartupCamp is one of the new wave of 'Un'-conferences with no agenda or predetermined speakers. I can imagine that these events could fall flat on their faces unless the attendees are prepared to contribute. Fortunately we had David at this one. Davids ability as a moderator/speaker/contributor at this conference was one of the highlights of the event for me." - Fergal Dearle
