David was very knowledgeable and gave excellent examples - I enjoyed all his war stories. He was also very good at keeping us engaged and participating - I felt comfortable talking and asking questions. Specifically, I felt comfortable guessing when I wasn't sure of an answer, because he created a very emotionally safe environment. The participant guide and links to the GAO Red Book were also really useful.
