"David not only inspired us with lots of new business ideas and approaches on how to find customers, he most importantly helped us to realize the individual purpose that the members of our management team want to achieve. We got clarity on who we are and where we want to go."
- Regula S., CEO, Switzerland

"David collected and delivered feedback for the entire executive team and facilitated a meeting to integrate it. This work started the important conversations we needed to have, revealed blind spots we hadn’t noticed, helped us improve our relationships, and gave us the messages we needed to hear. Techniques David showed us are things we are now using every week." - Jenny B., CFO, USA

"David is an exceptional coach. He's talented, insightful, and the perfect blend of open and directive. He's been tremendous in helping me see how what I do is different and unique, which was a key aspect of me building my business into the 7 figures of revenue that it is today." - Brandon S., Founder and CEO, USA

"David, I wanted to thank you for the highly significant impact you’ve had on ISP. For helping us re-establish our values from the ground up, for giving us a workable strategy to inspire the change I’ve been hoping for." Viktoria K, Founder and Owner, UK

“David’s work with the exec team was exceptional. It revealed the internal work that needed to be done. It gave me information I could give my team to hold me accountable to performing at my highest level and they loved that. This soon led to big positive career changes for me. I highly recommend working with David.” - Pam D., COO, USA

“There has been so much change in my career in the past 3 years, David has provided a safe harbor to discuss everything going on, which has been unbelievably helpful. He has helped me put a real focus on the emotional work, ending old patterns, using tools to help create better patterns, and finding my locus of control in situations which makes it much easier to implement these tools. With David I get positivity and perspective that helps me snap out of tunnel vision, or a fixated point, into a more useful perspective. In 3 years of working with him I’ve jumped to bigger roles in my career 3 times.” - Gregg Miller VP

“I had a full vision for myself when I started working with David. I wanted to be someone who shines her light on things I know that need to be seen, and have the courage to say what isn’t easy to be heard. I wanted to be open to discovering how my new venture could work and get it out there. I wanted to be more grateful and excited about what is happening. I wanted to be a more heart-centered person for myself and others, and take steps forward in being who I am meant to be. After working with David all of this happened. As an incredible bonus the emotional work helped me lose my hang ups with public speaking.  I used to crap myself for public speaking, over-prepare, not feel natural at all, and hate it. Now I do no prep, being totally me, and it’s totally fun. I honestly didn’t think it was possible. Who is this new person?” - Beth D, entrepreneur and writer, UK

“Working with you I’ve grown a lot as a human being. I’ve grown as a leader. I have less anxiety and more confidence in myself, what I can handle, and what I’m capable of. It’s been well worth it. I didn’t realize what I would get out of coaching, but it’s made massive changes in basically all aspects of my life. Are you familiar with Rick Rubin? He reminds me a lot of you in some ways. The way he brings the best out of musicians is the same way you bring the best out of business professionals." - Freddy M., music industry entrepreneur, USA

"David, I just want to say you are brilliant as a facilitator, but what's best is your true belief that leadership is making people feel THEY are their own leaders, and what matters most is who we are as human beings. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to be a better person, and improve leadership skills as a consequence."
- Braz, International Sales Director, Brazil

"I saw David speak about spirituality in business - a topic I usually avoid since the content tends to be unempirical and rarely pushes me to think in new ways (that I trust). David surprised me. He's able to talk about issues that are generally on the far side of the "soft" side of business--love, meaning, spirituality, emotion--using current science as well as practical exercises that powerfully convey why these "soft" domains are centrally important to doing good business."
- Will B. - Business Owner and Social Psychologist

I saw David keep an audience of entrepreneurs engaged so much they didn’t want to let him go. He did a long Q&A session with relaxed confidence and profound understanding of the subject. David is one of those rare speakers who not only structures a talk beautifully but adapts to his audience along the way. He breaks down complicated topics with a very natural sense of humor. He's a truly enjoyable and caring speaker.

Hi David, I just want to thank you again for the fabulous leadership training sessions. I would say it’s the best online training I have had so far. I love the concept about ‘experiments’, I believe ‘you can only absorb theories after practice’. And I really liked your course contents.
