Over Dave Bunting
Adjudant Dave Bunting trad in 1984 op zestienjarige leeftijd toe tot het Britse leger en raakte al snel gegrepen door avontuur, reizen en uitdaging. Na een periode als militair vakman doorliep hij de uiterst veeleisende reeks opleidingen om geselecteerd te worden voor het Army Physical Training Corps, waar hij zich specialiseerde in bergleiderschap. Hij werd hoofdinstructeur van de gezamenlijke bergtrainingscentra van de krijgsmacht in Wales, Noorwegen, Beieren en Canada en voltooide de zware, een jaar durende opleiding tot Duits leger-berggids (Heeresbergführer), waarmee hij een van de weinige Britse militairen werd die deze prestigieuze kwalificatie behaalde.
Dave heeft een passie voor bergbeklimmen en is inmiddels betrokken geweest bij de organisatie en uitvoering van talrijke expedities, waaronder tien naar de Himalaya. Tijdens zijn meest recente expeditie stond hij voor zijn grootste en zwaarste uitdaging tot nu toe. Als algemeen expeditieleider was Dave verantwoordelijk voor de planning, teamselectie en voorbereiding van niet alleen een poging om de imposante Westgraat van de Mount Everest te beklimmen, maar ook van twee andere teams—bestaande uit jonge mensen van wie hij hoopt dat zij de toekomst van het bergbeklimmen binnen de krijgsmacht zullen waarborgen—die Lhakpa Ri en Island Peak bedwongen.
Gedurende Dave’s uitgebreide loopbaan als instructeur in hoogwaardige bergactiviteiten en meer dan twintig jaar als klimmer heeft hij een grote verscheidenheid aan mensen van alle leeftijden en rangen binnen de Britse krijgsmacht geleid en ontwikkeld, inclusief elite-eenheden zoals de Royal Marines en de Special Air Service (SAS). Dave is een van de oprichters van My Peak Potential, een bedrijf dat via zijn Leadership and Management Development Programme bedrijven helpt hun prestaties te verbeteren door hun mensen te verbeteren.

"I had the great pleasure of having Geerteke van Lierop coach me for my TEDx talk. Her support and guidance while preparing my talk were integral to its success. She was professional and personable during our sessions and she made me feel very comfortable during the coaching process. Her ability to communicate her ideas to improve my talk, as well as her caring nature make her an incredible coach. As Geerteke guided me through the preparation of my talk, she demonstrated keen listening skills as she provided me with accurate feedback and direction. She was able to provide me with constructive criticism which helped focus the content of my talk. In addition to these skills, I felt Geerteke's care for my process and outcome. I truly felt like she was routing for me! Her enthusiasm for my topic and journey showed me that she really cared for me and the final result of my talk. I was extremely honoured by her dedication and commitment to my success. I truly felt cared for and supported. I could not have done this without her!"

Leadership Event 4th ? 6th August 2008 Fallbarrow Hall.
Delroy Cameron, Senior Project Manager:
"Dave Buntings presentation was excellent. He certainly held my attention. I believe that the pace, the structure and information that was shared was well thought through and delivered in such a way as to leave a lasting impact on the audience."
Chelsea Slater, Business Service Centre Manager:
"Dave's talk was really... remarkable — it was inspiring — made me want to join his climb team to the mountain. He was able to hold the crowd with his description and details of the expedition and the outcome of the story was moving. Although it was a venture that was far beyond what we do, there were parallels from his experience that I could relate to and hopefully will be able to use to make my projects more effective. The presentation itself was well executed – the media was appropriate and varied throughout the session."
Leigh Gardner, Senior Project Manager:
"The presentation by Dave Bunting was very good and was perhaps the most beneficial 'Leadership' lesson of the whole event."
John Owen, Senior Programme Manager:
"Dave's presentation and subsequent informal Q & A session was by far and away the best part of the whole 3 days.
It was highly relevant to the nature of our 'Event', Project Management in general and was expertly delivered."
Paul Anderson, Head of DDS Projects:
"Dave was an excellent speaker who delivered an interesting and relevant (to Leadership) presentation. It was well put together, described the leadership challenges (even on what turned out to be a failed attempt) and hit the mark with everyone in regards to the adversity we can all face. I thought Dave personally was very engaging and grabbed everyone's attention easily, was funny and thought provoking.
Fully recommend him to anyone. "
Steve Marshall, Transformation Manager:
"The slot he had to present in was at a time when everyone was tired. Not only did he manage to keep everyone’s attention he did it in such a way as to encourage questions to be asked."
Mike Waterman, Senior Project Manager:
"Dave was very good, delivery of key points was spot on, good use of material and a fab animation by PowerPoint showing the trek.
He was open to discussion and impressive with his answers."
Andrew Joyce, Senior Project Manager:
"One of the best presentations I've sat through and considering it was 8pm after a tiring day it was testament to Dave's presenting skills.
Engaging, entertaining and very relevant to why we were there. "
Roy Beckerson, Senior Consultant:
"An excellent presentation from Dave.
I think it is fair to say we were a tired bunch, but Dave's presentation really held everyone’s attention and provided a tremendous insight into both planning and leadership skills required for such a challenge.
I thought his presentation style was very effective, both informative and witty."
Fran McCabe, Senior Consultant:
"The presentation kept me entertained and interested, very important after the physically tiring couple of days (could have nodded off).
I thought that the fact that the expedition did not reach the top of Everest was particularly important; this made it possible to highlight the leadership issues. Initially I thought that Dave's presentation would have been better at the start of the event, but I now think that it was best delivered when he did i.e. on the last evening. This better enabled us to review how we went about our own project, our own failing were easily mathed to his successes.
Good to spend time with Dave after the presentation, more interesting rather than exploring specific leadership ideas."
Ken Paul, Senior Delivery Centre Manager:
"Very easy to listen to, he has a great mix between informative and humorous.
His subject matter was inspirational and crucially, is also relevant to a business context."
