“Working with David has transformed my life, both professionally and personally. His innate abilities to truly listen and read between the lines have helped me understand me better – yes, that’s right! Because David has supported through unlocking my strengths, weaknesses, passions, doubts, and many more – I am now able to effectively navigate my career (and life) with confidence. His style is unique, unlike any other coach/guide I have worked with in the past because there’s accountability involved. The bulk of your work is done between sessions, and David will help you ensure that you are focusing on that.“
testimonials
“The experience of being coached by David has been the highlight of my year. He has surfaced that I was afraid to envision possibilities beyond the immediate situation and that I tend to see situations in black and white. Even though I could argue both sides of the issue I felt stuck and not able to move forward. We worked together to dust up my intuition and integrate feelings into a decision making process. David has encouraged me to go beyond my black and white thinking and see situations more holistically. The outcome of our time together has been a clear understanding of the next step in my career, which I was able to make just a few months after our conversations, as well as a sense of more possibilities in life.“
“Many others have sung praise about David’s ability to ask probing questions to reorient their thinking to become their best selves, so I won’t try to convince you of that. Instead, I want to tell you how deeply David cares for others which is why I consider him the best coach (and mentor) I’ve ever had. David has a personal stake in the success of others. He has true empathy which shines through every conversation you have with him.“
“David helped to reframe a lot of things for me. I had a lot of assumptions, misconceptions, fears, and insecurities about my career. He helped me to get unstuck, develop a mission for my job search, and take a practical approach to building relationships through meaningful conversations.“
“Going through a coaching session with David is not your run-of-the-mill conversation. David is somehow able to first distill whatever you end up rambling about into a concise story and then decipher what the root of the ‘matter’ is. He’s able to do this because he is actively listening to you. David enables you to find answers on your own terms. He steers you in the right direction, to keep you focused and grounded on whatever you state your values and desires are. The most important skill that David has is that he knows when to make you uncomfortable. He has this uncanny ability to know the right questions to ask and when to ask them. He absolutely challenges you so that you can learn and grow.”
“Whenever I have conversations with David, I always seem to come out of them with a better understanding about myself. Rather than providing suggestions around what he thinks I should do, he will ask me questions that really push me to dig deep and reflect on why I’m feeling the way that I do. He is a meticulous listener and is always able to pick up on the smallest of cues and was even able to detect how passionate I was about something before I even admitted it to myself. He provided me with concrete activities to work through that gave me a better understanding of my values and life goals and how they compared to the decisions I was making. Overall, David has helped me grow as a person and understand the importance of taking the time to reflect on what I really want, and most importantly why.”
“When I met David I was deep in the throes of trying to kick-start my business, which mostly meant doing work that made me anxious and uncertain, like networking and getting my website up. David coached me through my doubts and fears, creating a safe space to discover personal qualities for leading a new business that I had not recognized in myself. As a result, I went from a few scribbled ideas to a full website and my first clients over the time we worked together. Thank you, David, for your warm support, cool head, deep insight, and keen intelligence. You’ve got some powerful coaching mojo!”
“We maintained an ongoing coaching relationship for a year and a half, during which time he helped me navigate team changes and ultimately helped me find a path to doing work I’m more passionate about. I appreciated how he gave me simple, concrete things to work on, and then held me accountable to them. What I think makes David unique is his ability to gain an understanding of the people he works with at a much deeper level by asking pointed, yet open ended questions; and then offering insights, which are often things you might not normally think of, but after hearing from David, seem like common sense.”
“David’s coaching is transformational. He met me at a tough crossroads in my professional career: some of my past managers had been terrible, my work felt uninspiring, and I felt unable to dig myself out of the funk. He helped focus me on the aspects of my job that played to my strengths–things I naturally had a passion for–and unblocked me where he could. After a few months working with him, I felt clear-minded about what I wanted to accomplish in the short term and empowered to plan proactively about future endeavors.”
“David Klemenz is a highly intuitive, warm-hearted and engaged coach. I now feel more engaged in my relationships and at work, which has opened many doors for me and has brought incredible improvements and more overall satisfaction into my life. His ability and wisdom to summarise and connect the dots are impeccable and spot on. David guides and supports with calmness and strength, which has allowed me to feel safe and fully at ease in our sessions. I highly recommend working with David!”
