He sees it, he listens, and very soon he is proposing alternatives for your consideration that you might not have come across on your own. David helps us get past the tangled issues so that we can get things done.”
LEADERSHIP COACHING
“David coached me and my team of 6 over the course of 2.5 years. We were in the delightful situation of functioning well, but we were all pretty young and knew we could communicate and divide up tasks more effectively. David was instrumental in helping each of us grow personally and professionally – to become our best, most confident, and high-performing selves. He helped us understand how to divide the responsibilities so that everyone was motivated and invigorated. Importantly, he helped me transform from a nothing-special manager into a team leader, giving me the tools I needed to understand and leverage each of my staff members’ unique strengths and flush out their potential. David also provided valuable insight into our hiring processes for new staff. Today, all of us from that team remain close and look back on the time that we worked together as a highlight of our careers to date.”
“David possesses the rare blend of skills—a keen listener, powerful intellect and diplomatic guide. I’ve sent members of my team and they’ve raved about his ability to sort out complex situations. Even better, I’ve been the personal beneficiary of David’s enormous experience and expertise. I can’t say enough about David, both as a person and consummate professional.”

From my first meeting with him, his intuition, psychotherapy background, and love of people provides a level of skill in career counseling that is unique and without equal in the industry.
