Leadership Development in Action
What Happens After the Session Matters Most
The goal of our work isn’t simply to learn another leadership model. It’s to see something differently, recognize where you can make a change, and know what you’re going to do when the opportunity appears.
These are stories from people who have taken what we explored together and put it to work in their teams, organizations, and careers.
“David was an incredibly thoughtful and consistent sounding board throughout our work together. He created a space where I felt comfortable discussing workplace challenges, obstacles, and difficult situations openly and honestly. His feedback was always measured, practical, and grounded in a strong understanding of both leadership and organizational dynamics. I especially appreciated his ability to help me step back, consider different perspectives, and identify constructive ways to approach complex situations.”

“During my coaching session with David, he gave me some guidance on how to work with a particular colleague on how to help them improve performance. It’s something that was extremely useful that I will continue to do.”

“I applied the program’s emphasis on clear, intentional communication during cross‑team discussions by pausing to clarify assumptions and restate shared goals. This improved alignment, reduced confusion, and helped our teams collaborate more effectively.”

“I just wanted to send a quick note of gratitude for making my time in the program so worthwhile. Your positive energy and skilled facilitation made me excited for each of our sessions. I just downloaded all your session slides so that I can revisit our session topics throughout next year. I also very much appreciated our one-on-one coaching sessions and your reframing that leadership is an ongoing process and ‘stepping back’ during transitions isn’t necessarily a negative thing to get oriented and grow.”

“As we close out the first year of the Emerging Talent Program, we just wanted to say a huge thank you for your fantastic sessions on emotional intelligence, innovation, and leading change. Your expertise didn’t just enrich the program, it gave our participants essential skills that are already making a big difference in their careers in public service. It’s been so inspiring to hear them rave about how they’re using their new skills. We’ve seen from survey feedback and conversations with others that they’re more enthusiastic and better equipped to make their mark in the public sector, all thanks to your help.”
