What People Are Saying
“Dave Burton has facilitated our firm’s team building training for years and it never disappoints. His program allows our group of 80+ professionals to bond, and laugh, and struggle together, making our team connections stronger. Whether we are playing games, solving problems, building boats to actually race in a pool, or writing purposeful notes to those who we appreciate, it is a fun-filled and thought-provoking day. I appreciate everything Dave does for our firm!”
“Field Day was a special day for the Marketing Group. I went in a bit skeptical but left a believer. I didn’t think it was possible to be entertained for 2+ hours! We moved around, played trivia, games, got competitive, got to know new people, and overall had a great team experience. I recommend it for any large teams trying to bring everyone together”
“Dave has worked with my teams for the past 10 years at Brandywine Heights. My teams always enjoy the team-building activities and the opportunity to get to know one another at a different level. They really have fun, but also learn a lot about trust and how it can positively affect a group and team. I recommend Dave’s team-building program for any team.”
“I have become a better person and teacher because of Dave’s class. His positive attitude makes you look at the world in a new light. In a short amount of time, he was able to create a sense of community that allowed a group of strangers to trust each other and accomplish tasks that would have been impossible without teamwork. He truly is an inspiration.”
“Dave’s program touched my professional life as well as my personal life- in many positive ways. He has helped me realize a deeper meaning of my purpose as an educator, husband, and father. Dave can transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. In my opinion, this is one of the most important educational experiences you will ever encounter.”
“I was so excited to have Dave work with my school staff! The activities he led us through helped build stronger relationships and left us feeling inspired and re-energized, both professionally and personally. The overwhelming feedback I received from teachers was that this was one of the best professional development experiences they ever had!”
“We hired Lifeseeds to host a Team Building and Leadership Development seminar. Dave took the time to really understand our values and objectives and tailored the content to deliver on both. It was great to see skeptics on the team become believers and to hear them talk positively about their experience. His exercises felt more like fun than “trust falls” and really brought the group together. I’d recommend Dave without hesitation or reservation and look forward to working with him again in the future.”
“There’s no one better than Dave and LifeSeeds for team building events. His thoughtful approach to each activity and anecdotal stories helps our large organization come together and build a bond we can’t capture sitting in an office or on Zoom calls.”
“I asked Dave to design and facilitate a team building event for my company of 40 plus employees. I was skeptical at first but after having the event, I cannot say enough positive things about Dave’s motivational and team building skills. The event challenged everyone in the organization. It helped identify strengths of the individuals and taught them how important cooperation/communications is to a team’s overall success.
I will be using Dave for future events. I highly recommend him and his organization for any corporate motivational event. The investment is worth it!!!”
“Dave’s class was an awe-inspiring experience that was not only interesting and enjoyable, but life-changing! Dave has a genuine warmth and regard that comes through in his instruction. Because of that, I was able to take away activities and concepts and apply them in my job the very next day. Awesome class, amazing instructor.”
“Our Field Day is always my favorite team event of the year. The team at LifeSeeds does an incredible job of bringing us together, while also teaching us at the same time with lessons focused on team building, leadership, and collaboration. These activities also have a great way of bringing people closer together in the workplace as the lessons learned are all transferable. Everything on the day has a purpose and I’ve been able to carry many of these themes to my own team. Every year the LifeSeeds team finds new ways to evolve the program so it’s always fresh and always valuable for everyone participating and I am very thankful for the work they do.”
“To date, I’ve brought in Dave on two separate occasions to facilitate community/team building sessions for my faculty and staff at Welsh Valley Middle School in Lower Merion School District. Dave’s sessions with my staff have had precisely the effect I desired; he succeeded in positively impacting my building’s staff culture while modeling for staff some creative ways they might positively impact our school’s student culture. My staff couldn’t have been more pleased with the sessions. After the first session, one of my veteran teachers called it “the best day of professional development” she had ever experienced. She followed this up by registering for coursework with Dave at the Montgomery County Intermediate Unit. After our most recent session with Dave, another of my veteran teachers sent me a heartfelt thank you email that read in part, “I came into the day feeling very overwhelmed, and came away feeling energized.” In this era of increased accountability when public educators are working harder than ever while somehow feeling less appreciated and effectual than ever, Dave’s services are more needed than ever.”
“We have utilized Lifeseeds annually for over a decade. During these all-day sessions, Dave’s energy and style has created an event that is extremely valuable to our culture and the team. My colleagues truly look forward to this event! His story telling and how he incorporates it into our everyday lives is both entertaining and enlightening!
We are a better and more cohesive group because of what Dave has shared and helped us to learn!”
“Our annual Marketing Field Day with LifeSeeds continues to be one of our most successful events around building team culture. It provides employees an opportunity to build relationships, collaborate with others, think outside the box and have fun! Dave and his team do an extraordinary job running the show, while putting special twists to make it more personal for our team and company. The team is already talking about next year’s event!”
“A thoughtful, well put together day of collaboration, competition, and fun. All underpinned by a reminder of the core principles and values that make for a great workplace and team. Excellent, friendly, and well-trained facilitators make this the perfect corporate outing for any team, small or large – would highly recommend.”
