F.A.Q.
Who is David Posner?
David Posner is a keynote speaker, leadership expert, and professional basketball referee. He spent more than 20 years in senior care and healthcare before founding 3 Point Care Consulting, and he officiates in the BIG3 League. He helps leaders make confident decisions under pressure the same skill he uses every time he steps onto the court.
What does David Posner speak about?
David speaks about leadership, decision-making, and building high-performing teams. His signature keynote, "Lead Like a R.E.F.," shows leaders how to make fair, fast, confident calls when the pressure is on, drawn directly from his years refereeing at the highest levels of basketball.
What industries does David Posner speak for?
David speaks to leaders in any industry where decisions carry weight, healthcare, senior care, construction, finance, sales organizations, and association conferences. His message on decisive leadership comes from being a professional basketball referee, so it translates to any team that has to make fast, fair calls under pressure. He has deep roots in healthcare and senior care, and his frameworks apply just as directly to leaders outside of it.
Does David Posner only speak to healthcare audiences?
No. While David spent 20+ years in healthcare and senior care and knows that world intimately, his keynotes are built on universal leadership principles, decision-making, conflict resolution, and team performance that work for any audience. Healthcare is where he proved these ideas; the referee's court is where he sharpened them.
What is the "Lead Like a R.E.F." framework?
R.E.F. stands for Recognize, Evaluate, Forward. It's David's three-step approach to decision-making: recognize what's actually happening, evaluate your options quickly, and move forward with confidence. He built it from two decades of healthcare leadership and years of split-second officiating.
Who books David Posner?
David is booked by healthcare and senior care associations, leadership teams, and conferences that want a high-energy speaker with a fresh take on decision-making. He has presented for state healthcare associations across the country, including groups in Vermont, Wisconsin, Kentucky, and Michigan.
What makes David different from other leadership speakers?
Most leadership speakers talk about decisions in theory. David has made thousands of them in real time, with crowds watching, as a professional referee. He brings that lived experience to the stage and ties it to 20+ years leading in healthcare, so it's practical and tested, not abstract.
Is David a good fit for healthcare events?
Yes. David spent over 20 years in senior care and healthcare and founded 3 Point Care Consulting to help providers grow. He understands the staffing pressures, leadership challenges, and daily realities your audience lives in, so his message lands as relevant, not generic.
