"The journey with David has helped me sharpen my effectiveness for SATS and the Kingdom. David was great at challenging mythinking and sharing his expertise. Even though I am also a coach, I firmly believe that everyone benefits from being coached. We are currently in the process of expanding coaching within SATS. I would highly recommend David to any organization."

"David provided a thorough review of our organization. It was obvious he carefully read all our materials and spent time reviewing them. I am grateful for his comments and questions. He also gave push back which was helpful. I think a general review of our organization was helpful providing an outside look."
- Bob Snyder, M.D. / IHS

With a strong history of deeds done, I can help with…

EXECUTIVE & PERSONAL COACHING

I have coached new and veteran leaders for over 25 years on multiple continents, helping people identify their goals, their relevant strengths, and their pathway to achievement. I believe in a customized approach, not just passing on the latest leadership trend.Focused on working directly with leaders, my goal is to help you identify and meet your goals. I provide coaching in areas of personal development as well as share my expertise and support in particular areas of leadership. My approach is highly personalized with in-person visits, weekly video chats, and/or connections as needed.

Finding the simplicity on the other side of complexity is my passion. My fresh perspective and problem-solving skills can help identify strategic opportunities for improvement or savings. By performing a comprehensive review and providing recommendations and priorities I will help your organization meet and exceed its goals.

STRATEGIC PLANNING

You can benefit from my experience in leading and coaching the strategic planning processes for both national and international organizations. Through focused engagement and analysis, we can work together to identify the most critical challenges you face and develop a roadmap for the future. I will help you sort through the competing demands and needs you face to prioritize your limited time and resources and to meet your organizational objectives and mission.

Having developed numerous projects and programs that have been delivered internationally, I thrive on helping you realize your dreams and visions by crafting a step-by-step plan to see them come to life.

RELEASING RESOURCES FOR IMPACT

Let me help you discover the joy in giving. Many people want to be able to give generously, but doing so requires thoughtful research and prayerful consideration. Large foundations have staff to assist in that process but I can offer some of the same services to individuals and families. I will walk alongside you and provide insight through my professional and personal experience.My goal is to serve your needs, not convince you to give to a particular organization or cause. By representing you, the donor, I am well situated to provide non-partisan suggestions to guide you on your giving journey.
