Working with David is something I treasure. It's been a further unfolding of my true authentic self, gaining an understanding of what my real goals are and forward motion on things that are important for me. I so appreciate how he took the time to try to understand me and then work within my framework instead of trying to box me into someone else's. While David's work isn't therapy, I experienced a LOT of healing. I don't feel "stuck" anymore. I highly recommend him.

I enjoyed working with David very much. Having dedicated time with someone to help me focus on my goals, strengths and weaknesses was critical in getting my company off the ground and successfully launching our first product.

David is a great guy and really cares about his work and his clients. I highly recommend working with him.

I sought David's guidance when I had to make important directional decisions for my business. David and the Jedi Trainer method helped me find the clarity I was looking for.  I would have been satisfied with a process that forced me to look inside of myself and helped me examine my professional goals and aspirations.  But David's coaching infinitely more useful than that.  Together we reworked my business model, my company's mission statement, my business roadmap, my own job description, and even our staffing plans.  The most useful thing I learned was that none of the business aspects of my entrepreneurial life can be separated from the personal aspects.  Each step of David's process seemed to be carefully designed to elicit insights about my personal growth and then inject them into the practical elements of my business planning and entrepreneurial life.  Jedi Training was a unique combination of the two faces of a coin: planning for my business and planning for my life in business.  I don't recommend that anyone go down the entrepreneurial path without David's helping hand.

Dave has a very special talent for being able to listen, to understand and to reflect from different perspectives. Through working with Dave, I gained a much better understanding of what is important to me, what I find truly fulfilling and of my personal mission. Once I understood this, my company mission, vision and values became clear. I made changes that needed to happen, happen. Working with Dave was like going to a chiropractor for the soul - my values and my actions feel much more aligned.

If you are looking for someone who can give you step by step actions, someone who magically solves your problem or anything impossible like these, Neither David and no one else can not help you by no means. But if a start up owner or anyone else is looking for mentoring and coaching of someone with great attitude and lots of experience David is a great guy for this. He gave me directions, awesome enough that i could see the problems from another angle and he really could understand and show me some hidden problems from few minutes of my description and more important than all of this was fully honest in our session, did not give me unrealistic hope and did not say anything without bringing reason first hand. We've gamified my problem together and lots of it is gone now. His coaching service is highly, highly recommended!
