“At age 50, I contracted you as my personal development coach to expand the limits of my professional and personal capabilities. You advised that if I followed your coaching and guidance through needed self discovery, I would succeed in this mission. One year later I unequivocally say we were most successful! I’ve experienced ‘break through’ professional growth, found ‘good time’ with my family, and am experiencing sustained personal fulfillment…. Thank you, David… you are a master personal development coach and I am confident that your valued gift is ‘open’ to anyone willing to accept it.”

“…the leadership, coaching…you provided over the past four months…has enhanced my effectiveness as a leader, improved my confidence level, and created a myriad of growth opportunities which I am truly excited about...As you are aware, I have been challenged in my personal life and relied on your support and advice through the process. Thank you for listening and caring. It means a lot to have someone truly interested in what’s going on in my life…. As a result of our working together, I am more aware of my strengths, the things I love to do, and most important, things I am passionate about. With your guidance through the process, I have been able to identify gaps between where I am today and where I want to be in the future and develop the framework for a personal business plan. You have helped me feel my ‘greatness’ as stated by Oliver Wendell Holmes: ‘What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.’ I look forward to working with you in the future.”

“Since August, 1994, I have had the good fortune of working with David Goldman. Now it is the time to acknowledge the result of this interaction. I can state unequivocally that David has helped me; become more organized and efficient in my day-to-day business, have more focus and direction regarding my goals for the future, become much better at follow-through, develop a system for my business providing consistency, increase my activity (especially approaches), develop a system for getting referrals (which has been outstanding!), earn more in 1994 than ever before, and have more creditability when I say something….Finally, applying some of the strategies and ideas which David has conveyed to me, I am certain my earnings in 1995 will surpass 1994….Let this letter serve as an acknowledgement to David of any appreciation and continued success to him.”

Carol Baker Booth

“My sales results have been fantastic. I hired David to help me achieve an unprecedented volume level of 3 ½ times my monthly average. In addition, I wanted to attain a consistency I had never before enjoyed. From December 1992 through May 1993 (the entire length of the agreement) I never did less than 3 ½ times my average and in five of the six months I did even more….The bottom line is that while David coached me, my cumulative sales volume totaled more than twice what I had thought possible.”

Judy Julin
Executive Director

“…I had spent the spring of 1991 staring at pages of ‘to do’ lists and doing nothing. I had read ‘7 Habits’ and several other books that all made eminent sense. But I still could not move forward….Your ability to bring focus into my professional world was a breakthrough. The incredibly complicated became simple and straightforward….Working with you has brought me to a point of satisfaction, both professional and personal, that comes from having a sense of control….I attribute this to your ‘coaching’ style that brought out the self confidence I needed to take over the direction of my once chaotic business life….It has made a great difference in my life…”

Anne H. Orr

“I never expected to achieve the results I did in so short a time….Within sixty (60) days my sales increased 40% and have remained at least 30% over where they were when we started…my relationship with my immediate supervisor improved…not merely because of my increased sales-this was a result of how I achieved my increase- but my new behavior….Your ability to get to the ‘heart of the matter,’ speak to my vision…keep my focus clear and sharp, made a difference in my achieving these remarkable results….I admire your relentless determination to do whatever it takes to get the job done….You not only got me on track and kept me on track, you even returned me to being on track when I needed it.”

Your advice has been able to penetrate even my sometimes thick head.”
