TALKS & KEYNOTES

Dave Duarte has inspired audiences in 25 countries, equipping leaders and teams with actionable strategies to forge powerful connections and drive breakthrough results.

WORKSHOPS

Understanding trends isn't enough anymore. Marketing and sales teams must anticipate and shape the future - leading with innovation and setting new industry standards.

COACHING

Our coaching challenges conventional thinking, helping you strategise while achieving business goals. It’s engaging, impactful, and leaves you with a resource of recordings and notes.

Talks & Keynotes

Drawing on a decade of facilitation expertise at UCT’s Graduate School of Business and global forums like UNESCO and Davos, Dave ensures every session fosters deep engagement and breakthrough thinking.

While customised talks are most often requested, Dave has developed a few keynote themes that always work well and can be adapted for your context & industry.

Testimonials

  • Treeshake created a bespoke and interactive training session for SA Rugby, using metrics and examples from our own social media channels to assist us in making a step up in terms of our offering to fans. Working with our entire communications department (media and marketing teams) they emphasised the importance of our online community, guiding us in not doing social media, but be social online. It was an enlightening experience and since then, I am happy to report that the way we approach social media has changed for the better, leading to a better experience for our fans and better numbers for us and our partners.

    — De Jongh Borchardt, SA Rugby

  • Treeshake is a key partner in keeping the media and public engaged in our campaigns for ocean conservation. I love working with a team that is as committed to the results as I am.

    — Lewis Pugh, UNEP Patron of the Oceans

  • The positive feedback we have received thus far is overwhelming. Your session brought relevant context to the conference, which initiated conversations throughout the two days. You made a lot of people very happy!

    — Tanya van Lill, CEO SAVCA

  • A very big thank you on an excellent talk at the launch of the Impact Management Guide! Your talk was an absolute hit and many people requested recordings to share with their teams.

    — Michelle Barnard, Group Communications, The Aleit Group

  • A huge success! Your unique approach and ability to adapt the conversation by reading the room was just what we needed. It created a great foundation for conversations for the rest of the week, as we kept on going back to the concepts. We definitely received that ‘Aha’ moment from the team, and the feedback was only positive.

    — Heena Nathoo, Chief of Staff, Marsh Africa | Client Advisory Services

  • Just wanted to say a big thank you again to all of you at Treeshake who did such a sterling job, what an amazing outcome! You pulled out all the stops for us and it showed. Thank you again.

    — Francesca de Gasparis, Executive Director at SAFCEI

  • We consistently surpassed our targets and goals for the project, and for that I would like to thank you. We could not have achieved that without your hard work.
