"Working with David has been a genuinely valuable experience. He creates the time and space to reflect deeply, while also helping you translate insight into meaningful action. I consistently leave our sessions feeling like I’ve unlocked something important - with renewed clarity, energy, and momentum to make changes or build on my skills.
David asks thoughtful questions that stretch and challenge my thinking, yet always in a way that feels supportive and grounded in genuine care. He has a natural ability to balance encouragement with accountability.
From the very beginning, David made me feel comfortable and at ease. He’s easy to be around, deeply interested in the person in front of him, and he builds connection effortlessly. I would highly recommend David to anyone looking for a coach who will partner with them to move forward with confidence and clarity."

"I had six coaching sessions with David over a four-month period. I find David to be a very 'hands off' coach. He listens well, and will occasionally pull threads together to help you see patterns. However, he will never answer the question, 'what do you think I should do?'. Rather, his approach encourages you to be an active participant: he will ask you to set goals for the future, and then guide you to find ways through barriers that may be stopping you from meeting those goals.
David will help you to explore business challenges in a gentle and encouraging environment, keep you accountable and on track, and give you space to explore options for moving forwards. If I am honest, I found the process hard work, and also slower than I had anticipated. But the time we spent was worthwhile. By the end we had worked through many issues, and I now have lots of insights and ideas to use in the future.
I definitely could not have achieved this on my own."

"David coached me through a particularly challenging time in my professional life; I was struggling within my role, couldn’t see a way forward and had lost a great deal of confidence.
David’s skillful questioning, reflective feedback and compassionate challenge gave me a framework for holding myself to account and feeing brave enough to bring about the necessary changes. I am hugely grateful for his support whilst navigating this journey."

"David is an excellent coach. I signed up for a series of high performance coaching sessions with him because I was feeling stuck with a particular project, something that was very important to me but that I had relegated to the back burner.
David skilfully created a coaching environment in which I could explore what was holding me back and, more importantly, find and create the resources to move forward.
He asked powerful, insightful questions that helped me clarify my priorities. I left each of our sessions with a renewed sense of excitement about my project, and concrete plans for the next steps."

“I highly recommend David Goldberg’s coaching for anyone looking to deeply reflect and get strategic about their career. His style of coaching is both grounding and extremely outcomes focused. He creates a spaciousness in his sessions that allowed me to see patterns and opportunities more clearly but then would always bring a precision to our conversations to ensure each session led to specific actions and changes. Working with him led to many changes in my approach to my work and wider life.”
