From Reese G.
"Dave brings a unique combination of practical experience and innovative insight to drive improved leadership and business performance. He does this all with amazing sensitivity to the organizational culture to align strategy with the ability to execute."
From Michelle V.
"Do you need help giving context to lingering challenges (or even determining what those challenges are)? Someone who replaces the futility of trying to “find the answer” or “figure out what to do next” with the possibility of seeing things differently? Someone who can step into what isn’t being talked about – but enter that area in a safe, professional manner? Someone who creates an environment where people become really honest with themselves so breakthroughs actually happen? Look no further. I’ve had the joy of getting to work with Dave professionally and to learn about him personally along the journey. He has a passion for helping others – individuals and corporations – hear themselves and gain new direction. . .a priceless gift that is life altering."
From Gregg G.
"Dave is a unique “people person” that can get someone very reluctant to share their thoughts in a remarkably candid way. He is 99% love but has that 1% to call BS when he sees it and most people respond quite well to him. I’ve worked w Dave for nearly 20 years and I’m a huge fan of his work.
From Jon G.
"I've worked with Dave on-and-off for 20+ years. He's a gifted strategist that leads from his heart, and his extensive C-Suite and ground-level experience make him the perfect coach/mentor/thought-partner to both current and emerging leaders. He's one the best listeners I know, and he has an uncanny way of asking the questions that lead to personal, professional, and institutional insights. If you're keen on developing or strengthening a values-based servant-leadership style for yourself or your team, he's the person you want to talk to."
From Ann E.
"Dave was a key contributor in working with our executive group to facilitate strategic solutions, capitalizing on a wealth of information based on his experience(s) in related industries. His strong intuition, interpersonal skills, and problem solving / facilitation capabilities serve him well in this regard and enable him to deliver superior results."
From Eve E.
"I met Dave over 13 years ago. My company was kind enough to provide me with executive coaching, and Dave was my coach. Dave is excellent at teaching executives Emotional Intelligence. He stressed the importance of EQ in the C-Suite long before it was an industry “buzz word”. The reason I would highly recommend Dave is his ability to help people step out of their pre-existing mindsets, therefore removing the frequently subconscious bias we all have when we work in teams. If you have people on your team who feel strongly about their views, and it inhibits them from making effective decisions, Dave can help. Which makes me think that he would do great on Capitol Hill."
From Tina S.
"Dave has helped coach my teams and helped me to coach my teams. He is great at helping people to see themselves as others see them in an honest, non-threatening way, thereby opening doors to improved teamwork and organizational effectiveness. I would highly recommend him for any team or individual as a coach. I have seen his work in multiple settings, and it is solid!"
From Mike S.
"Dave is a splendid coach and mentor. I used his services many times, and know him to be highly competent, ethical and professional. He gets results and moves on when defined objectives have been accomplished. Recommend without reservation."
From Susan D.
"David is a coaches coach. He stays connected, listens closely and is very good at follow up. David has very good interpersonal skills, is always willing to help and encourages you to try new things that will make you a better leader. David is a servant leader and a team builder. I have worked with David for over eight years and always found his advice to be right on regardless of the issue. David is someone you can trust. Has high ethical standards. It has been a pleasure to work with him."
