COACHING
YOU TO
WHAT’S
NEXT
We all get stuck or feel like imposters sometimes.
We all feel lost and have blindspots about our own growth.
We all need a nudge sometimes or a new perspective to be uncovered.
Coaching is about honoring what works and unlocking what’s next.
You already have the answers. My role is to guide your development toward your next horizon.
Change is Constant • Ambiguity is Inevitable • Stress Has to Be Managed
Are you ready for your next horizon?
What my coaching clients say
Darwin Grosse
Director of Education
and Customer Services
Cycling ‘74
“Working with Dave has been a life-changing experience. He helps me take on the hard work and guides me through difficulties that spanned professional and personal borders. My trust in his counsel is complete, and I've found better awareness and more confidence in practically every situation I encounter. I couldn’t wish for a better coach and mentor.”
Susan Loree
Director of Faculty Development, Integral Coaching Canada Inc.
“Dave is extremely flexible, easy-going, quick-minded and just darn smart! He has a lot of emotional intelligence and is very skillful in interacting with others. He is a warm-hearted, deeply kind man. In a world full of people who ‘oversell’, Dave values high-quality work and brings a strong sense of integrity to his interactions and dealings with others. His profound sense of serving his clients well is very present in him. I couldn’t wish for a better coach and mentor.”
Jennifer Gentry-Saulski
Associate Partner
IBM
“I can't say enough good things about Dave. I've worked with other coaches and mentors but have never gotten to the root of the issue or thought about things in the way Dave presents them. I have made more progress in the past three months with Dave than I have with others in the past 5+ years.”
Bradford Swanson
VP Partnerships and Marketing, Nomono
“Dave listens deeply and shares thoughtful insights that encourage growth and self-care while shining light into my blind spots. I leave coaching sessions feeling empowered and equipped with actionable ideas that immediately help my motivation, confidence, and prioritization.”
Susan Harvie Smith
Voice Guide and Coach
“I have had multiple sessions with Dave, and he is definitely one of the most talented coaches I have encountered, and I am a coach as well. He is a true professional. The depth of his Listening skills, his timing, and the way he curiously asks questions opens the door to self-discovery. The power of his wisdom and responses to my answers have literally made a world of difference to me. As they say, Dave is a ‘keeper’ and I couldn’t be happier to have connected with him.”
Sarah Hughes-Giles
Real Estate Broker
Compass
“Dave coached me during a very tough year. He remained so centered, so open, and honest. He helped me navigate through a period in time when it was hard to think about the right path. He is one of the kindest people I have come to know. He works hard, really listens to what you are saying, is genuine in his approach, and I believe he is everything you would want in a coach.”
Priyanka Sheka
Program Director
Real Industry
“Pre-Dave, our process was rather organic (erratic!) Within just a couple of months of coaching our team, Dave has helped us clarify and prioritize our business development opportunities and fundraising targets. On a day-to-day basis, he helps us re-focus and see the forest for the trees.”
Kim Pfluger
Product Marketing Manager
iZotope
“Dave is a compassionate, empathetic, and insightful coach. The programs he designed around this topic allowed me to build the muscles I needed to achieve better work-life balance, say no to others when I need to, and benefit from decreased anxiety.”
