Business Speaker | Connector | Teen Empowerment Speaker
United Kingdom
My name is David McQueen and I am an international speaker, networker, youth advocate and social commentator.
I am primarily known as humorous, provocative and educational speaker. From business conferences to teen audiences I am not just about inspiring but leaving people with tools to act on long after my speaking has finished.
My main business interest is magnificent minds (formerly Milestone Unltd) a professional development company. The company delivers speeches, workshops and seminars on leadership, career management and communication skills.
I am also a TV presenter and was the cohost on Vocation, Vocation, Vocation a ten part series for UK television company Channel 4. The programme focused on helping ten teenagers to chose what career paths they wanted to go down.
I am a keen networker always looking for opportunities to connect and build partnerships.
