Real Results, Real Impact
What Business Owners Say
“I have learned that before [David’s involvement] I wasn't very interested in letting others have a voice. Now it is so important that the trust is there, and everyone feels that they can speak their mind.”

“We know how to actually run an effective meeting and I think most importantly the true definition of accountability.”
“By allowing others around me to help me do what I do best. It helps me be a better visionary, leader, and person.”
“The value is on keeping the company focused in lieu of the alternative where employees get bogged down with the day to day and lose sight of the future goals and path to make those goals happen.”
“Our communication has improved, our meetings have become shorter and more productive, and we are not wasting as much time as we used to talking about the same ole issues. We are now able to more effectively identify what our current issues are, determine what the real root cause is and solve the issue once and for all.”
“I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for the excellent leadership guidance you provided last Friday. We have a great group and the skills you are providing us with have enhanced how we look and react to opportunities. It shows us how to really drill down to the meat. The result is that we tackled the top items and focused on them rather than trying to get through the whole Issue list and trying to “resolve” them just on the top level.”
“David is quite capable of sorting through a company’s people, problems and 'stuff' to arrive at what. He has a great way of keeping everyone on the same page, even owners.”
“Providing a clear and confident path towards real results among a leadership team with big egos.”
“It was educational and challenging. It takes a while for the process to fall into place and you begin to understand how it can apply to your situation. Finding the right ways to have the process work for you is part of the challenge and changing the mindset of some people who are reluctant to change. David did a great job of leading us through that and helping us all find value where we were headed. Finding Traction is not easy sometimes but always worth the effort.”
“Mostly involve people and processes. Getting the right people in the right seats. Understanding that setting expectations and having minimal step by step instructions grows the team and creates a positive culture. We are better delegators. We are dealing with real issues and not just dumping info during meetings.”
“How long it took me to get to a good place but then, afterwards, how quickly the transition was.”
“David has the ability to push us farther. He may not know where or what the answer/issue is but he knows when we have to go deeper or push our limits. He does not let us settle or take the easy answer.”
“Don't ask a "why" question. Lean into conflict. Set and reset expectations. Hold yourself and others accountable. Ask questions, emotional questions that get to the heart of the issue. Leadership is about helping others. Embrace change and learn from mistakes. Set big hairy goals and don't back off reaching them and delegate properly with clear expectations. People will fire themselves if they don't fit your culture. Your Why.”
“David is excellent and makes us focus on real issues, rather than glossing over problems in our organization. He helps us focus on the real problem, rather than symptoms.”
“Integration [of the business model], through David's leadership, equips the leadership of a company to make real change on a weekly basis - while enabling the entire leadership team to promote the vision of the company.”
“David doesn't tell you what you want to hear, but he does tell you what you need to hear - and he does it in a way that is not off putting. In other words, he knows how to step on your shoes without messing up the shine.”
“At the end of our lives, I am convinced we will look back at a few defining moments and see the impact that they had. Your guidance and ability to bring to the surface the courageous conversation that needed to happen will be felt for years to come I feel. You really pulled back the curtain and allowed us to be “exposed.” It’s about the organization not the individual, but when emotions and personal agendas get involved, it is hard to separate the two. Today, you made a difference in our future going forward. Your wisdom and credibility were evident in the way you allowed the group to be open and honest.”
