  • I like to refer to David as my secret weapon because I ALWAYS leave our sessions feeling better and with refined skills, a fresh perspective, or a new filter with which to make decisions. Despite his seemingly endless wisdom, it’s actually his kindness, curiosity, and ability to see and draw out my best self that has had such a profound impact on my life. Our relationship is without a doubt one of the most important in my life!

    Sean Muldoon –
Executive Coach & Performance Consultant

  • Synapsing positively impacted our High-Performance coaches and Performance support connecting teams and aligning concepts for all of us. David Joyce is a thought leader in the area of High-Performance teams.

    Belinda Stowell OAM – Olympic Gold Medal-winning athlete & coach

  • David has a unique skill set through his past experience of working with elite athletes and his ability to transfer that knowledge into the workplace, establishing the habits for success in my workplace and in my personal life.

    Matt Knox – Chief Financial Officer

  • Synapsing's contribution to OMP's success has been invaluable, excelling at both zooming out to focus on strategic vision and diving into details to solve problems. Synapsing’s rare combination of perspective and hands-on problem-solving has played a significant role in our achievements. OMP owes much of its current position to them, and we're fortunate to have them on board.

    Jack Preddey – Founder / CEO

  • David is a powerhouse of knowledge across a broad range of health and wellbeing topics and the benefits to company productivity. As a senior manager in a corporate role, I often pushed exercise aside with the “too busy” excuse. Our monthly check-ins over 6 months gave me the accountability I needed to develop a longer-term change in mindset to maintain and enjoy the exercise program we jointly established.

    Kathryn Tomkins – General Manager

  • Synapsing has successfully facilitated events for both our junior and highly experienced teams. These events were successful as David allowed us to think strategically while recognising the limitations of systems we need to manage. These events are now driving decision-making and maximising outcomes for our teams and our stakeholders.

    Professor Eleanor Beck – Head of School, Health Sciences

  • David’s support and counsel in helping shape the strategic direction of our organisation at its formation was invaluable. His incredible experience and intellect, coupled with his ability to prompt thought through logical questioning to allow you to navigate and make sense of your own complexity helped build the platform for our early success.

    Andrew Pratley – High Performance Director

  • In my career in high-performance sports, I've been privileged to learn from elite coaches and performers. Without a doubt, however, David has had the most profound impact on me. His influence has transcended beyond professional realms, enhancing my role as a father, husband, and son. His unmatched emotional intelligence and expertise have been a guiding light for me while navigating the complexities of leadership, performance and life at the highest level.
