Explore the story of a corporate leader who believes great leadership starts with human connection. David Goldring is more than a business executive—he’s a thoughtful leader with an unexpected perspective shaped by his experience on the comedy stage. His journey spans guiding a global business, supporting the military community, and rethinking how leaders connect with the people around them.
In his upcoming book, Stand Up and Lead, David reveals how the same tools comedians use to win over a room full of strangers can help anyone become a stronger, more authentic leader. Great comedians build trust quickly, find common ground across differences, and bring clarity to a room through honesty and humor—skills that can also strengthen teams and transform the way people connect.
On stage, comedians rely on skills: active listening, showing up authentically, being present in the moment, learning from immediate feedback, and adjusting in real time. In Stand Up and Lead, David explores how these same skills can help people build deeper human connection and create richer, more meaningful relationships in business and in life.
