What our clients have to say…

By David Levenson

David has really helped me through a period of career change. His listening skills and considered observations have been invaluable in bringing objectivity and balance into my thought processes and decision making. He has used interesting techniques to assist me in dealing with loss of self-esteem and coping with internal personal pressures. His thoughtful and professional approach are much appreciated.

Chief Financial Officer, large social housing provider

David has been a brilliant coach. His excellent listening skills coupled with the wealth of experience that he has working with various teams and clients are a great combination. David asks just the right questions and provides a lot of space for reflection and introspection. I have greatly benefitted by having David as a coach and would certainly recommend him!

Talent & Leadership – General Manager, global multi-national services business (based Mumbai)

David’s keen interest in helping people is one of the qualities that makes him a great coach. Before we started working together David and I had established various connections and common interests, both professionally and personally. So, when we started working together, David was already able to unlock some ideas and strategies that provided a framework to the coaching challenge we worked on. David’s involvement in my work over the last year or so has without doubt contributed to better outcomes and a renewed excitement for what I do. His coaching style is caring and empathetic, exemplified in the articles he sends me and the interest he shows in the industry and products that I work in. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend David as a coach and hope that we get to work together again soon.

Director of Best Practice, legal educational and compliance services firm

Having reached a crossroads in my career I wanted to explore what possibilities the future could bring. I engaged with David as a coach and was delighted with the outcome. David was very skilful in getting me to really understand myself and decide what direction I wanted to take. I found David to be great at listening, reflecting and developing the conversation and would recommend David to anyone finding themselves in the same situation.

He has a variety of visual tasks that have enabled me to analyse the skills and areas to think about what is important in becoming a role model and a leader.
