"Dave brought his considerable leadership expertise to assist me lead my organization through a significant transformation. Dave is a big picture, strategic thinker who is comfortable leading and coaching in complex environments. He brings his experience in public, private, and Not for profit sectors into every engagement. He brings lived experience to tough situations be it Management/Board, CEO/Executive Leadership, Team Union/Management. He helps you keep a long term strategic perspective while coaching you through the short term realities."
"Dave brings a wealth of real-world experience to his training sessions and draws on them effectively to support the subject matter. His style is engaging; participants immediately feel at ease and willing to share their own thoughts and experiences with classmates as well as with him. He supports the interplay between participants with material from his own extensive reading and research, making for a very complete and rewarding learning experience. Complex topics are skillfully deconstructed and presented in a way that is comprehensible, memorable and useful. Highly recommended."

"Is hiring a coach beneficial to your success? Unquestionably. And Dave is one of the best.
As CEO of one of Canada’s fastest growing firms (Globe and Mail Top 400, September 2019), our differentiator lies in our manufacturing process. However, the way we are truly successful rests with our culture. We are careful to hire professionals that fit our culture – open, transparent, collegial, and honest – that understand our values and what we are trying to achieve. And we support our staff by providing an environment that is focused on team, rather than individual, success. Assisting our core culture, Dave has been instrumental in helping our leadership team grow. His focus on best practices, and ability to identify specific and measurable activities needed to broaden each individual and help them understand their impediments to success, is beyond reproach."
