Excellent conversation and highly insightful. Definitely worth it and would highly recommend it.
Source: Clarity Catalin Matei May 5, 2020Dave was kind, knowledgeable and the conversation would have been great if I had been just starting out. But in the short time we spoke we really didn't get into the meat of the matter, which is more the shortcoming of the medium. Sometimes the Clarity format just does not work for more subtle questions.
Source: Clarity Deryk Wenaus Jan 27, 2020Dave was extremely easy to talk to, rapidly understood our business, wasn’t shy about pushing back on flawed assumptions. Shared numerous actionable strategies for enterprise selling. Most importantly, helped me realize I was afraid of success when I really just need to take the plunge and remember that I am in control. Came off the call feeling intensely impatient to begin executing on many of the points we discussed. I highly recommend using him as a sounding board. Money well spent.
Source: Clarity Tamer Mehanna Sep 14, 2019Dave is a genuis. For anything on Org Development and team building he will be my go to resource.
Source: Clarity murali sajja Oct 18, 2018Very insightful and to the point. Very actionable advise given, will be contacting again if the need arises.
Source: Clarity Justin Tibble Jun 29, 2018Chatting with Dave we amazing he really spent the time to get to know our situation before giving feedback. World class advice!
