NEW for 2017!
This is David Nour’s most acclaimed keynote -
based on his best-selling book of the same name
– which he has delivered to over 500 corporate,
association and academic forums. This dynamic
session focuses on the quantifiable value of
business relationships.
Few companies have mastered how to drive
innovation through strategic relationships. In retail,
Warby Parker has. In payments, Stripe has. IBM,
Toyota and L’Oreal also excel in this regard, but the
list is far shorter than it should be. This keynote
shows you how to get others to invest their time
and effort in your organization’s success… and
what you need to offer them in return.
It describes a systematic process to build and
leverage strategic relationships. This session
delivers exceptional value to most audiences
by sharing the battle-tested best practices for
bridging relationship creation with relationship
capitalization.
The key difference between those companies that
merely aspire to do this, versus those that have
mastered the Co-Create Effect, is that the best of
the best employ a disciplined strategic process.
Nour will take you through that process, explain
how it works, and highlight where so many firms
go wrong with half-hearted or poorly-conceived
efforts to “collaborate.”

...I heard you speak at the ASAE Annual Meeting in Atlanta. I found you to be a gifted professional speaker
and dramatically more insightful than most typical associated-related presenters. During our introductory
lunch, you provided ample value in your understanding of our growth challenges and piqued my curiousity
to seek your advisory services.

As a senior executive at an association I have heard and hired many speakers and not all have hit the mark
each time. However, from the first time I engaged you on short notice through subsequent engagements
following you have always hit the mark and exceeded my expectations and most importantly, those of the
audiences you have addressed for us.
Duffy Wilbert, CAE - Former SVP of Member Services
InfoComm International“
Thank you so much for presenting at the
2011 Amerinet Member Conference in Orlando, Fl.
The session was a huge hit and so well received.
As you know, social networking is relatively new to the
healthcare field and most of our attendees came into
your session knowing very little about how it can apply
to them. At the end of the session and in follow up
emails, I received more requests for your information
than any other speaker— and this is saying a lot,
considering many of the other speakers
were from the Disney Institute.

I’ve had the pleasure of hearing many great speakers durting my 27 years with PMA. So it takes someone
exceptional to cut through the clutter and make a unique impression. You did that and then some.

During David’s presentation, our audience of more than 700 elected officials and city staff members were
extremely engaged, as evident by few distracted mobile users or anyone who left the session early! He
used appropriate humor, was personable yet thought provoking in conveying his ideas. Needless to say,
David’s presentation was the buzz of the conference long after his session.
Michael Sittig - Executive Director
Florida League of Cities, Inc.“David conducted a good deal of due diligence to make his message very relevant to our diverse audience of
distributor executives, showed up early, delivered a compelling session on the strategic value of business
relationships, and stayed afterwards to sign books for the attendees. He was extremely easy to work with…
