We were extremely satisfied to have Davina as a speaker at the 2024 Western Partnerships Conference On Human Services. Her session topic caught the attention of many that attended the 2 day conference. Millennial Leaders: The Loudest Voice In The Jungle. Oh my her energy, knowledge, and overall presentation was very insightful. Davina did a great job ensuring that all the material presented was relatable, which was crucial, as we want each person to leave this 2 day conference with something they can use in their everyday life.

Davina's in-depth knowledge of the modern workforce is both insightful and practical. I gain new perspectives and knowledge every time she presents.
I recently attended a seminar where Davina Ware delivered an outstanding presentation on the DiSC assessment. Davina’s ability to connect with the audience and provide practical examples of how the DiSC assessment can improve team dynamics and communication was truly impressive. Her insights into the different personality styles and how to leverage them for better workplace relationships were invaluable. I highly recommended Davina for anyone looking to enhance their understanding of behavioral assessments!
