First session. Great start!

We recently had the pleasure of working with David for our son’s interview prep and impromptu speaking skills. Even after just one session, it was clear that David genuinely cares about his students’ growth and success. He took the time to understand our son’s specific challenges and laid out a clear, realistic plan for improvement. What really stood out was his commitment not only during the session but afterward as well. David followed up with my husband and me by phone to share detailed feedback and ensure we understood what progress would look like over time. He emphasized the importance of consistent daily practice outside of their weekly sessions, which showed us he’s focused on long-term, meaningful development and not just quick fixes. We’re confident that with David’s guidance, our son will continue to improve. Highly recommend his services to any parent looking for structured, supportive, and effective coaching.

Knowledgeable coach for public speaking

David has done a phenomenal job and helping me to prepare for a presentation that would otherwise be overwhelming for me to take on. David is very intelligent, clever, enthusiastic and witty in helping me to put information together, in an effort to create digestible content, for the people on the receiving end of my speech. David has helped my confidence boost as we have talked through the things that have stressed me out about speaking in front of this large number of people.

Without a doubt, I know he can help others in this same way!!
