Who is David Meade?
As a leading voice in business, a television broadcaster, and a researcher at one of Ireland’s top universities, David has dedicated his career to understanding what makes humans ‘tick’ and how it affects the way they think, feel, and act. Widely known for his mentalist abilities and tricks, he leaves audiences both laughing and learning.
“From first speaking with you, through to the end of our Event, your approach was so professional and reassuring that it provided us with so much confidence along the way.”

On returning to Ireland, he became a lecturer and award-winning researcher in business and strategy with one of Ireland’s leading Universities, and has built his reputation as one of Europe’s most sought-after organisational facilitators.
