David didn't help me reach my goals -- he helped me absolutely redefine them. I went to David looking for support with my presentation skills, to further my corporate career. 9 months later, I left that corporate career of 20 years to create my own small business and make time for conscious parenting. This transformation left me feeling empowered, driven and energized by new possibility. David's coaching gave me the tools to advocate for what I wanted for my life and work. He is incredibly empathetic and caring while offering different points of view alongside practical tools for measurable success. I can't recommend David enough as a partner for change and progress. read more

I started working with David at a time when I knew I wanted to start a company, but after months of toiling had not successfully done so. To start our work together, David identified areas of growth I could work on, specifically ideation and futurism. He then helped create a framework to build up those skills in a way that was complementary to areas I was already strong in. It's thanks to him I was able to move past this mental block and working with him helped me grow not only professionally, but also personally as he is someone who cares deeply about the overall well-being of his clients. If you find yourself intrigued by the idea of entrepreneurship, business, or life coaching, David is the best person to help you on your journey. read more

When I started working with David I was slightly confused about my future and didn't actually really know what exactly I wanted a coach to help with. I just knew I needed help and I have heard from other professionals how useful it was for them to work with a coach. David is easy to talk to, keeps you on track, and is so non-judgmental that I felt completely safe to share my thoughts and confusions with him even if I felt like others may perceive them as "stupid". He would lead me through my challenges by asking questions. He rarely gave "good advice", but instead helped me find the right path for myself by asking questions and, here and there, providing tools or additional learning. He encouraged me, even if I was changing my mind about what I wanted to do from one session to the other. At the end of our engagement I was much more relaxed, gained a lot of clarity and, where I am still not sure, I am better able to give myself some grace and figure it out over time. Thank you, David! read more

I worked with David over the summer last year when I was having a bit of a rough time understanding my career identity. First off, David is a breath of fresh air to talk to. He puts you immediately at ease to speak openly and confidently. He also has fantastic materials and homework to aid in the journey, and is an expert at giving you just the right amount of push while still giving you space to go at your own pace. When I started with David, I wasn't happy with my job, but also wasn't sure what I really wanted to do. David really challenged me to systematically surface my core values which I could then judge my current career and prospective careers against. A lot of David's method is to just let you talk, and then he can reflect back the values, interests, and motivations that he identifies underneath what you're saying in a very eye opening fashion. Through working with him, I was able to identify a lot of areas of my life where I was spinning my wheels on things that didn't really align with my values and where I really want to go in my career or life in general. We made progress very quickly, and I left the sessions with a clear, and obtainable action plan. I ended up choosing to stay in my current career; however, I've recaptured satisfaction and fulfillment. In the meantime, I know the career path I want to take next, and I'm executing the action plan to get there. I'm in a significantly brighter place today than I was before I started his sessions. He's a bit pricy, but it's well worth it. read more

I worked with David as my coach over a 10 month period. Coming into the engagement I was struggling with many business related issues, some of which overlapped with personal life too. I had many big aspirations and goals, but mainly I wanted to become a better version of myself so that I could help lead my company into the next level of growth that we kept struggling to obtain. We began identifying my biggest struggles, and the underlying traits and actions that have been holding me back. We then charted a path towards the most important goals I wanted to achieve. Each meeting I got valuable insights, ideas, feedback or resources that helped me take the small but meaningful steps I needed to improve. Here are a few of the things I learned over the time we worked together: how to delegate better, how to focus on the most important thing rather than the minutia, how to have constructive difficult conversations, how to stop myself from jumping to conclusions, and how to have better decision making agility rather than ruminating on decisions. There are many more, but these are some of the large ones that come to mind. In addition, I got to discuss some real nitty-gritty business strategy with him when I was in a tough spot and needed to bounce ideas off someone. By the time our engagement had ended, our company had moved into a new and bigger office and our sales team had grown 50%. Even more importantly, I had grown tremendously and I was on the clear path to being the leader the organization needed. David is an excellent listener, and has a unique and genuine approach to coaching. It really seems to come naturally to him. I recommend David without hesitation. He is well worth the time and the money for anyone who wants to better themselves. read more

David not only helped me get out of my own way, he helped me think bigger and aim higher. I connected with him after leaving my university job of 14 years to start a climate action nonprofit. Everything was going for me, and I felt buoyed by other nonprofit founders and entrepreneurial colleagues. My only drawback was severe imposter syndrome. Thoughts like "why do I think I can do this?", "what makes me think I'm qualified?" kept me in doubt. David not only heard my words but read my delivery and body language to help me dig into my discomfort and move through it. The sessions were challenging, thoughtful, and results driven. I can't recommend David highly enough. read more

Working with David has been a huge game changer for me! When we started our sessions together, I set very ambitious goals, expecting we might meet a couple of them. I hadn't imagined that I'd be able to see real growth and practical changes in all areas I identified. Most profoundly, I learned that the questions I was asking were too narrow and limiting, and having an accountability partner with depth, compassion, and a tenacious desire for growth in his clients helped me deepen not just my own self-understanding but my confidence as well. I walked out of each of our sessions with deeper self-awareness, practical tools to apply to my daily life, habits to develop over a lifetime, and a vision for a future which I'm so excited to make real. David is as warm and kind as he is thoughtful and deep. He was able to pick up on nuances I had never been conscious of, and his probing questions helped me realize not only gaps in my thinking, but also opportunities for accelerated progress. And most importantly, he was unwilling to let me settle - he was as invested in our process as I was (even more sometimes!), and the outcomes were beyond what I could have anticipated. I started our sessions feeling "stuck" and uncertain, and by the end of our time together, I walked out confident and extremely optimistic for what I can accomplish in both my personal and professional life. I truly cannot recommend David enough! read more

David's coaching skills are truly one of a kind. He really takes the time to dig deep into every aspect of your situation and will help guide you so that by the end of your sessions you can see yourself becoming stronger with navigating thorough each situation. I had so many roadblocks that I didn't know how to overcome and after my sessions, I was able to push past all of it and come out so much more clear towards the end.

David is incredible! He helped me see more clear during a very though time. I just started to expand a business with a partner who then suddenly passed. I got completely stuck while grieving and running out of money. It was rough. My friend was raving about David, so I called him up. It was so easy to connect with him, I felt comfortable and confident right away. Within a few minutes, he was able to address my blockage that made me feel so stuck which I would have never thought of. His questions are so precise that he was able to pull out all the answers from deep within me I was looking for. He makes me be so much more aware of how I approach challenges, so I don't get stuck. He changed the way I work, act and think forever, after a few calls already. I have so much more clarity and confidence in what I do. I'm so incredibly grateful for you, David! read more

In only a few weeks of working with David I had made some huge decisions and started bringing them to life. I was struggling with the concept of "me time" and what came next in life. It's been 15 years since my husband passed away, I've finished raising my boys and have a successful career. I just didn't know what came next. I was facing a great deal more freedom than I've ever had and had no idea with to do with it. David helped me organize my thoughts, work through the next steps and understand that I could do more than I ever imagined. Now I have a plan and know how to get there. Highly recommend David!! read more

No one person as ever been able to steer me as quickly or effectively in the right direction as David. He is spectacular at helping me get extremely clear on my intention for our sessions and asking me the exact questions I need to help me arrive at the solutions my inner self desires the most. His impartiality is full-proof, which allows me to work with my own feelings and thoughts instead of having to worry about his. If you want to live your best life, David is your man. With much appreciation, Meredith read more

David and I had a 6-month coaching arrangement. When we started I was in transition into semi-retirement and unclear on what to do to make my life as fulfilling as possible. Now, after working with David I now clearly know what will make me most fulfilled, have an actionable roadmap to get there and am well on my way. Mission accomplished!! David's collaborative style, life experience and coaching know-how enables you to bring clarity to your thoughts and enthusiastically go beyond your comfort zone. read more

The best thing that David did was to listen to me. He took the time not only to learn about what I was struggling with at work but also to learn about me as a person. By doing that, he was able to go beyond just giving me standard tools and strategies to address the work issues we discussed. David was able to understand, and help me understand, why I had the reactions and frustrations I was having to specific situations, how best to manage them, and how to be proactive and head them off with tools and strategies he helped me develop. His listening and understanding are what made it possible for me to implement techniques that were specific to my needs, feel more confident, have better communications with co-workers and the CEO, and have more agency over my work, my staff, and my career. read more

Working with David has been a life changing experience (that's kind of the point, right?). I found David when I was looking for a coach to help with my move from Boston to New York City. After my first conversation with David I realized that not only could I get the career help I was looking for, but that he would also be able to help me sort out the other areas of my life. David is very easy to talk with and has helped me look inward to find my true ambitions and goals in life. He provides an outsider's perspective and makes suggestions based on my past experiences and present circumstances to help me shape a plan to get me to where I see myself in the future. David has helped me change my way of thinking and how I look at myself. He is professional, funny, compassionate and ready to give you that kick in the ass when you need some extra motivation. When you start working with him, you quickly find out he is dedicated to you and your success. It's truly an enjoyable experience speaking with him. read more
