      • What Clients Say

        I've had the privilege of working with many amazing people and companies on all sorts of projects. For example, I've worked with leaders in one of the fastest growing online tech companies, the largest shipping company in the world, an empathy driven communications company, one of the US's largest social enterprises, one of the largest paper products companies in Europe, a company changing business education for an international world, and one of the largest nonprofits focused on alleviating povery through empowering women.

         

        Here are some of the kind words they've shared.

      • David collected and delivered feedback for the entire executive team and facilitated coaching sessions and a meeting to integrate it all. 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 to make the right adjustments. Some of the techniques David showed us are tools we are now using every week in our meetings.

        Jenny B. - CFO and Board Member

        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 – it has been extremely useful to have your perspective combined with data you helped collect from our own systems, clients and employees.

        Viktoria K. - Founder and CEO

        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 executive team want to achieve. In this very intensive one-day workshop, we got clarity on who we are and where we want to go.

        Regula S. - Management Consultant, Partner

      • 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

        Summer

      • Working with David is great. It's easy, he's 100% authentic in his delivery, he has great energy, and I trust him completely. He's approachable and he's fun. We were able to explore EQ together with the whole department! It not only helped open the door to the EQ world to everyone, but it was practical and helped us be a stronger team that can help each other emotionally as well. I give David a 10.

        Nela F. - B2B Department Head

        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 B. - Sales Manager and Business Unit Director

      • David is extremely smart in what he does and I really like his personality and approach. He has great expertise in the development field and customized it to exactly what we needed for our leadership. I really enjoy working with David.

        Theresa H. - Director

        I found interacting with David very useful for my professional development. I wish I could have had more time with him. It helped me learn how to understand my own motivations and how to use that to be more effective (instead of always battling my weaknesses).

        Michael F. - Global Region and Country Head

        David is a gifted communicator and relentless collaborator. It's invigorating when someone deeply challenges you for the sake of moving towards a bigger vision, and not individual egos. His insight into human nature and society is very real.

        Kenneth C. - Creative Director

      • Speaking

      • 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.

        Nadia K. - Photographer, Consultant, Writer

        David's delivery and content were powerful, easy to understand, humorous, interesting, and created a great atmosphere. It was refreshing to have interaction as opposed to just being talked at.

        Amanda B. - Education Head

        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

      • David is extremely smart in what he does and I really like his personality and approach. He has great expertise in the development field and customized his talks to exactly what we needed for our people to make a shift. I really enjoy working with David.

        Tomas C. - Finance Director

        David's training covered all of the areas we needed guidance and support with, and it really inspired our management team to change.​

        Ixora B. - HR Manager

        Hi David, I just want to thank you again for the fabulous training sessions. I would say it’s the best virtual 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 content.

        Daisy H. - Business Controller and Manager

        I enjoyed your course a lot! I really like the formula of this course, having to discuss and exchange the experiences, and also a lot of individual work to do on our own. It keeps participants active throughout the entire course. The topics tackled in the course are very relevant and interesting. You are excellent and professional as a trainer. I think it is the best soft skills course I have participated in ever. THANK YOU!

        Dagmara M. - HR Director

      • Coaching

      • David has a unique ability to invoke emotions in people, always knowing the right questions to ask. He has a unique way with words. I walk away from meeting him with at least one phrase that I constantly refer to in my thoughts that sustains my progress. His ability to listen and understand, then suggest techniques based on that knowledge is above-and-beyond anything I've experienced with other coaches. Those are just a few, but in general I feel very thankful to have worked with David and consider him to be an integral part of my learning and development, both in my career and my personal life.

        Geoff F. - Innovation Lab Manager

        I got fired. It was scary. David's work helped me see that working for myself was possible. Then even though I had moments of fear about money, David helped me calm the mind, find the energy in my body which led to me getting my first high ticket client. When I wanted to grow my business to the next level I did one deep session with David, and the next week I had my first ever 5-figure sales week! Then I went through a series of personal challenges and struggled to find new clients, but David helped me reframe my strategy around what I love and just a few days later I sold $6000 worth of new coaching. This guy.

        Arnaud M., Co-founder

        I was worried to spend money on coaching, but after doing the work with David I feel this was the best money I ever spent. I really appreciated that he taught me tools that I can use on my own, supporting me through identifying the roots of negative emotions, and I had a breakthrough when he helped me shift emotions that I previously thought impossible, i.e. anger, fear, self-doubt. I have shifted my energy around money, and as a result, I just started my own business. Some people have guides and mentors as they grow up, for those not as fortunate, you can work with someone like David who will help you discover how very powerful you are to shape your reality and enjoy a higher level of wellbeing.

        Ivaylo G. - Facilitator

      • David saved my life. These last few weeks have been some of the most emotionally turbulent and downright STRANGE that I've ever experienced. All kinds of fears came to the surface, and deep emotions of sadness, loss, confusion and anger coming out. And it would have been 100x times harder if it wasn't for the loving kindness, genius, and generosity of this dude! He taught me what to do to move through emotion and get to Peace.​

        Chris H. - Coach to Leaders and Creatives

        Your in-person sessions have been f***ing incredible! Thank you for them. One of your sessions opened my throat and I was able to speak differently at work, and another session opened me up to a new opportunity that brought me to LA.

        Eric C. - Entrepreneur, Writer

        I had an in-person business and the lock-downs destroyed it. I decided to put my business online and I was struggling for a long time. Then I committed to working with David and after a few sessions I had my biggest sales month in over 2 years. After a couple more sessions I finally acted on my love of working with animals and within a few weeks I had 15 clients and it keeps growing. Now my business is even more of what I love, and I recently had another new highest month of revenue for my online work.

        Katerina B. - Reiki Master, Emotional Healer, Animal Communicator

      • David, it was thanks to your teachings that I discovered my passion. After thousands of euros spent on personal development materials, seminars and books, I was able to uncover my passions and purposes in just one session with you. I just wanted to give you a big thank you.

        Antonio C. - Web Developer

      • Hi David, I just wanted to reach out and say thank you! The video you made inspired me so much. I’ve been stuck and thinking too much, and you’re advice was the most insightful so far in this process. So for that I am grateful and I wanted to thank you deeply.

        Nicky K. - Entrepreneur

        David is a strong strategic leader and 360 progressive mentor and coach. He can extract insights from a wealth of data to determine the best approach to solve a challenge. ​

        Diane M. - Director, Sales and Marketing

      You've reached the bottom. Hopefully not rock bottom. Actually, when I once hit rock bottom, it turned me toward a path of amazing freedom and power. So cheers to rock bottom and you, friend, for making the choice to see beyond the surface of this life. Now scroll back up, there's nothing to do down here. Unless you are the 1% that will actually use that linkedin share button. - David
