Discovered highly valuable information that goes beyond any survey I had done in the past.
Source: Clarity Tony Deslandes Aug 25, 2014DAVID is outstanding.
I had issues of focus on getting back to what needs to be done for my companie's success.
David got pragmatic and right to the source of what actions we will take in week number 1. I really feel guided and now empowered to GO FOR IT.
And act based on his knowledge and experience. For me, it makes sense to buy his coaching services, and I am sure it will also for you.

Source: Clarity Jesse Lindsley Feb 5, 2014David's help with a job application went above and beyond anything I had hoped for, and landed me an interview with the founder of the startup. His research before our call was as thorough as if he was applying himself, and his feedback absolutely spot on and specific. With some key tweaks, my application became much stronger, while still keeping my voice and remaining authentic. Most importantly, some of his insights and advice have changed how I will write applications in the future.
Source: Clarity Mathilde Piard Oct 2, 2013David helped me improve my investor pitch by making tweaks to my presentations style and increasing the impact of each slide. Huge improvements!
Source: Clarity Andrew Bate May 21, 2013David gave very actionable and practical advice for maintaining focus on my company's most important strategic objectives (and not getting caught in day-to-day business), and motivating the team to deliver these results.
Source: Clarity Andrew Bate May 17, 2013I met David at a TechCrunch event while he was busy networking/recruiting web developers. Nonetheless, he not only took the time to chat with my coworker and I that evening, but also set up a meeting a week later for an in-depth Q&A session.
David shared a number of sound business practices such as which metrics to emphasize and which to downplay. He walked my coworker and I through several of the lessons he's learned via first-hand experience - both the good and the bad! He even dished out a handful of business strategy tips for Customer Acquisition, Target Market Research, and building a Social Media presence.
As our company, champSpot, is a very early phase startup, we will definitely benefit from David's expertise and advice. I can't wait to get out in the field and test a few of his suggestions!
Source: LinkedIn Kojo DeGraft-Hanson Apr 30, 2013David is an excellent Executive coach with a pragmatic approach to skills improvement. David spent more than three hours helping me prepare for a significant public speaking engagement. Although I had been through presentation skills training numerous times in my career, David used a unique approach and brought back some 'old school' video taping to highlight strengths and weaknesses.
His coaching for speaking and presentation skills helped me improve my delivery, style, and approach to the audience. When you think you are a skilled presenter, I highly recommend you engage David's coaching to demonstrate how he can further improve your skills.
Source: LinkedIn Brad Lurie Apr 30, 2013David is a true professional and a master at developing relationships. He always showed passion and a drive for excellence in everything he did and kept us ahead of the curve with his product development ideas. He excels at execution and his intelligence and ability to think on his feet make him a tremendous presenter. One of the best people I have ever had the pleasure of working with.
Source: LinkedIn Jason Dimberg Apr 30, 2013David was a fantastic SVP/General Manager for Rivals.com. He was always creative, positive and would look at things from all angles. He was respected and followed by his staff and was a big part of the successes the company had during his tenure.
