Coaching Testimonials:

• “David helped me build the tools needed to manage a growing and diverse team. His guidance was insightful, practical and rooted in years of experience.
  
  Unlike anyone I've previously worked with, David and I have built a relationship based on trust. He provided a supportive environment to bounce ideas around and coached me through challenging situations. He did not define solutions but rather helped me to navigate my way to them.
  
  He has worked with a number of people in our management team and his positive influence is evident throughout our organization. His work ethic is infectious and I have seen, first hand, the behaviors rub-off on those he coaches.”
             - Vice President of Finance, Syncarpha Capital
  
  
• “One of the best decisions we made this year was to hire David to provide coaching to five of our recently promoted team leaders. I wanted an ICF credentialed coach and was so glad to find David. His expert knowledge, high ethics, down-to-earth personality, and ability to adapt/relate to the culture of our manufacturing environment made him the perfect fit! Highly effective at all levels of our organization from the shop floor to the senior management team.
  
  Without hesitation, I highly recommend him as a Coach, regardless of the industry.”
