Bio
Samantha Crosby
David is, hands down, one of the most authoritative experts on organizational effectiveness and leadership development that I have seen in practice during the span of my 30+ year career. He understands the dynamics that affect team success – both positive and destructive – and he marries that with his acute insights of how behaviors and styles play a significant role in a person's individual success. He leads with diplomacy and tact, but doesn’t shy away from identifying potential issues in an effort to strengthen an organization. He is bright, engaging, and a pure delight to be around – which just makes his sessions all the more powerful and enjoyable.

I met David while he was at Avaya and found him to be a compassionate leader. Through a series of events we stayed in touch over a period of 6-7 years. Knowing of his executive background, when I began my journey with a technology start-up in 2006 I asked David to join me for lunch in an effort to get his professional advice. Well this was a short meeting with mostly catching up on all the things that had happened in our lives since our early encounters. However, after explaining my idea, his to the point advise and referrals changed my life and pointed me on a direction that I attribute to many successes. It is not surprised to see that he has become a very successful executive coach. My many thanks to him and if you need a good professional adviser... He is among the very best!
