I have met with many coaches in my life and David is my absolute favorite. He is kind, empathetic and open minded.

Someone who knows about a breath of subjects and can discuss almost anything with a unique perspective. Best of all he is someone who never makes you feel judged for your true and authentic thoughts which opens the door to insightful dialogue

Ben S.

Software Development Project Manager

I found David at a moment when I was wanting to evolve my professional career, but was hindered by self-sabotaging tendencies.

From the first session, David was able to resonate with who I am as a person, display empathy for my perspective on life, but call me out on the tremendous amount of bull-?!$* that I was spewing in the forms of excuses.
Sean E

VP of Marketing

After working with David, my CEO told me I am a great public speaker and I should give classes on how to present to a Board of Commissioners.

David gave me the tools to work through my anxiety and now I can present to large groups and field questions with grace and gravitas. I can confidently navigate complex relationships and difficult situations thanks to his guidance.

Ashleigh
Executive

I can’t overstate how powerful my coaching session with David was.

I reached out to him for help with a complex and nuanced situation with the manager of my company. He quickly cut through the rubbish and got to the heart of the matter. By the end of the session, I saw the issue through a completely different lens because he illuminated the mental outlook and paradigm I was coming from.

Not only did he help me see the root of the problem clearly, he also gave me specific recommendations on how to approach my manager. It worked! What could have turned into a disaster was swiftly resolved. He seriously saved our relationship! I would highly recommend him to anyone dealing with a complicated, high-stakes, and seemingly unresolvable situation in their business.

Rapheala

Business Owner

“Working with David has literally been a life-transforming process.

I’ve worked with other coaches in the past and the personal growth I’ve experienced while working with David has been unmatched.

His patience and kindness has allowed me to identify my areas of struggle but more importantly, his positive psychology approach has helped me find meaningful solutions. He has helped me reframe my thinking and implement new practices that have paid huge dividends!

I always leave my time with David feeling stronger, wiser and more capable of being my best self. I am and will forever be grateful for his guidance and support.”

I worked with David in the past on a team together at a former employer. His work ethic is second to none.

“His attention to detail leaves no stone upturned, His professionalism is unparalleled. He is a great team player and wonderful to work with. I would recommend him for the most challenging task you have and watch how well he accomplishes it! “

Paul Burgess

This is a man that you want on your team in both a crisis and when you simply just need some inspiration or a good laugh.

“ David has always been a trusted colleague and friend since I have known him. He gives sound advice that is grounded in both wisdom and a commitment to demonstrating compassion with consideration for how decisions might impact both individuals and the greater collective. He has never been afraid to do the hard thing and he consistently steps up to be of service when his skills are of benefit. I have always admired David’s drive and dedication to his work, his friends, and the many important people in his life.

David’s knowledge of multiple subjects, background in counseling and coaching, and personal experience overcoming challenging situations in his own life allows him to bring an unmatched ability to creatively solve most problems with new perspective and understanding.I would not have achieved the great level of success in my business without his support. Thank you David.“
