  • “I highly recommend working with an ALV coach. I worked with David for several months during a particularly stressful time: I had taken on a new leadership role and had to navigate significant decisions around change management. He has given me the tools to trust my instinct and vision, even if that meant asking the right questions to probe my own biases. You cannot underestimate the value of having a professional in your corner that will take the time to learn about your – and your business’ – needs, and then use that to strategize with you your next step and celebrate your wins. Thanks, David!"

  • “David is a wonderful, encouraging, and thoughtful coach who has made a tremendous impact on my personal and professional growth over the past few months. David has really helped me identify, work through, and build best practices for how to be a better decision maker while creating agility in my professional career. He holds you accountable for your work and celebrates you when you’ve accomplished a milestone. Moving forward, I know I’m in a great position personally and professionally in large part because I have so many best practices and guides to think through because of and thanks to David’s coaching. Thanks again for showing me I had the tools to create agility, fight through imposter syndrome, and make tough decisions consistently.”

  • “I really got to address my unique circumstances and had a fantastic relationship with my coach utilizing open communications and relying on their expertise to guide me in my journey. By the end of 3 months I felt like a different person. It was fantastic!”

  • “When I started working with David at Ama La Vida, I was unsure what my next career step would be. Fast forward a year and I couldn’t have more certainty — I’ve now founded and launched my own company. Much of this progress is thanks to David and the Ama La Vida program. David was skilled at meeting me where I was at and tailoring our work to exactly what I needed. Every step of the way — from conceiving and developing the idea for the business to negotiating with clients and drafting our first contracts — David mentored me, drew on his own corporate experience, and generously offered to put me in touch with his network. While much of his valuable input was hands-on and practical, he was also empathetic and human, helping me navigate the stresses of becoming an entrepreneur.

  • “I really enjoyed working with David as my coach. I came to him looking for a potential change in my career and what next steps could look like. He really helped me zero in on what I needed to think about, what skills I already had, and provided me with great resources to explore my interests. I was able to land a new role within my company, which he also helped me interview prep for, and together we built out a thoughtful transition plan for myself and my team.”

    Mindy O.

  • "I learned about ALV through a General Assembly course. I was paired with David and we had an initial consultation to walk through his coaching process. I knew David was a good fit because of his warmth and can-do attitude. Within days of our first session I had an offer for a large tech company. David helped me do additional research on the firm and weigh the pros and cons of taking the role. His expertise in HR and knowledge of the tech industry were extremely useful in helping me make the best decision. My job search was much shorter than anticipated and David made himself available to answer my questions outside of our normal meeting times. I look forward to working with David in the future as I continue to grow in my career."New List Item
