“I needed to create a top-notch leadership team to share the roles and responsibilities, but was lacking the skills and confidence to do this. Thank you for coaching me to enable this to happen, by being a great listener, guide and support; and encouraging me with practical tips at each stage of the journey.”

“I needed some structure, advice and strategy in managing and growing our education business and dealing with moving from classroom to virtual delivery. I found my sessions with David to be invaluable: he was a fantastic listener and sounding board but then the real value was his advice on how to execute and implement change for the better. I loved David’s real life experience on many of the situations I was going through and his memorable phrases that had an impact on making change happen.”

“The leadership and management training that I received from David was a game changer. Since the training I am more focused, driven and able to lead more effectively. The results are: a more efficient team and a stronger and more vibrant business.”

“Having instructed David to carry out a full review of all job roles throughout 70 staff, he worked tirelessly to present the trustees with all the facts on the ground and how to implement positive changes. David, along with his PA, were available for us on a personal level and his support was invaluable to the growth of our organisation. His coaching skills have changed our staff's outlook. We look forward to working with him again.”

“David is a highly competent and engaging leadership coach who has a real talent for honing into the heart of an issue. His vast insight into leadership behaviour has had such a positive impact on my leadership style.”

"David Goodman is an empowering and outstanding leadership coach who has truly changed my life in my role as a leader. With only a few sessions, I have seen significant improvements in how I lead my company. David is highly knowledgeable and experienced. He brings the perfect tools at the perfect time to help me reach my full potential. He is empowering and guides me to take the necessary steps to reach my goals. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their leadership skills."

“I have worked with David over many years whether working with educational entities or commercially at Lehmanns. His ability to bring out the best in people and get to the heart of the issue is unsurpassed. Over the last couple of years he has been invaluable in coaching members of Lehmanns’ staff to bring out their latent potential and overcome challenges that have held them back.”

“David’s outstanding work leading our organisational strengths review was transformative for the organisation. It demonstrated where our gaps lay and gave expert guidance and targeted follow up. Working with David has contributed enormously to our success as a community organisation.”

“My working life has completely changed for the better having had David to coach me through a difficult period in our school. David empowered me to reach higher, not be scared and go with my gut. He gave me confidence to be something I didn’t know I could be. David was available when we needed him and never made me feel like I was a nuisance. We most definitely would not be where we are today without David’s constant help and support.”

“Honestly, meeting David and being coached by him has been the successful key that opened the door to a hugely positive change in my career. Highly professional, with a custom-made workable course of action. David is demanding: every session is utilised to its fullest, but at the same time he is encouraging, positive and has helped me tremendously to maximise my potential. I use the skills learned every single day. Forever grateful.”

“David’s training sessions have been invaluable in enhancing our staff’s productivity and efficiency. No two people are alike and David finds the right solutions for everyone.”

“Training with David has been game changing. His approach is personable and engaging, methodical and versatile, full of depth and down to earth. David swiftly analysed the school, its mode of operating and exactly what I needed to learn and improve on. The bespoke training schedule he prepared has equipped me with so many tools and, more importantly, a depth of understanding that has immeasurably enhanced my engagement and performance. I look forward to further training in the near future.”

“David was able to grasp the complexities and underlying factors of our school. He provided me with clear and practical ways to lead successfully our growing school, empowering me with key leadership tools required for this role.”

“The sessions with David leave you with clarity, structure and a plan for how to move forward. He hears you fully and joins you in your picture. He then helps you enlarge your lens to see how much more you can work towards. David was a real support in my work and a pleasure to work with!”

“David has had a very significant impact on the way I manage the school and my staff. He draws on a broad experience and delivers practical strategies on a host of issues. His workshops are presented in a professional, light and enjoyable manner. He is a great coach with superb listening skills and his friendly demeanour has made him an absolute pleasure to continue working with.”
