Please join the Gateway SHRM Chapter in welcoming David Horning to our May session. 

Complete with a diverse cast of characters, comedy sketches, and some pretty awesome PowerPoint slides, David utilizes the power of comedy and perspective to inspire audiences to take a step back and perceive problems, failures, conflicts, and even tragedies as opportunities to learn, grow, discover joy, and inspire others.

Originally from Akron, Ohio, in 2012, David Horning moved to New York City to study sketch comedy writing and improvisation. After developing 2 web series' and performing around the city, he produced "Laundry Day," a sketch comedy show featured at Carolines on Broadway in Times Square, which was selected as part of the 2014 New York Comedy Festival. Inspired by the power of laughter, David now uses fun characters, comedy sketches, and his trusty slideshows to entertain, educate, and inspire so that others may use the power of their thoughts to build a foundation for their lives.

Within every obstacle, problem, challenge, failure, or tragedy lies opportunity, and all it takes to find it is a shift in perspective. Take a moment to ask yourself:

"Am I getting the results I want? Am I living the life I want to live?"

"Am I thinking about a problem or an opportunity?"

"Am I taking action on a problem or on an opportunity?"

"Did I leave the iron on?"

We behave based on how we perceive ourselves and the world around us. If we aren't achieving what we want, all it takes to change this is a shift in perspective, and that's what David inspires audiences to do in The Perspective Directive.
