What clients say.

AUSTIN BRADLEY > VP Operations 
I realized in my first month with Dave that he's different, he's....Zen. There was a peaceful vulnerability in his coaching that truly made me feel at ease. He helped me see and understand that life isn't so segmented, that the lessons I'm learning in one area apply to most others as well. My development goal was to become an 'effortless leader' and Dave worked with me to define what that meant, helped me recognize when I was out of integrity with that intention, and see clearly when I was succeeding - all while offering me helpful tactics to fully realize my vision. Today I can proudly say that the leadership of my staff, family, and community is more 'effortless' than ever. There's very little about my life that looks like it did when I started working with Dave - and I'm extremely grateful to him for joining me on the journey as a coach, mentor, and friend.

THOMAS ST JOHN > Founder and CEO, Thomas St John Group
When we embarked on the journey to reinvent ourselves applying Agile principles and practices, there was no pool of experienced professionals to draw from. Everything had to be re-imagined and transposed to work in the accounting domain, where the last real process innovation was the arrival of computers! Only through Dave’s vast experience, limitless patience, and deep empathy for people and teams, was the reinvention possible. In hindsight, I don’t believe any other coach on earth could have delivered this project. It was an honor to engage with Dave, and I learned so much about people and work in the process. I call Dave a friend for life and look forward to our next project together.
