Client Feedback
“When I met David, I was struggling to find my voice in my own company. Compared to other co-founders, I have different working styles and felt marginalized as a result. I didn’t want to go to work and thought of quitting.
David puts a lot of effort into understanding not just the issues, but also the relationship dynamics with colleagues and my personal goals beyond the company. I thought to myself, even if all things fail, at least now I feel heard and understood!
David guides me how to get my message across to different stakeholders with different personalities.… and it worked! I am still amazed at how dramatically less heated the conversations have become and how we leave the room understanding each other more. Together as a team, we make better decisions as we respect and embrace diverse opinions.
I am very grateful David keeps me accountable throughout the process. I have been procrastinating some important talks because I wanted to avoid confrontations. David builds up my confidence and gets me to face these tough conversations. I would get to practice the conversations with him, then he would follow up after the execution, and next we would iterate to further improve the results.
I have found my voice. I feel more empowered than ever and super excited to take on any challenge. It is a gift feeling like this every day and I owe it to David. I highly recommend Morale Mindset coaching!”

“David was a fantastic trainer for our middle management team. Even though they each only had a few years of leadership experience, the team felt that they gained new insights on ways to identify the type of team member they had and identify the right way to guide, motivate, and challenge each individual.
He facilitated a concise workshop packed with actionable next steps and thought provoking questions to help our team leads get started on managing their team members better. All of the frameworks and insights that David shared are grounded on real experiences and events, which makes it easy to understand and apply to each individual's situations. We're looking forward to our next session with him!”

“Whether you are a new manager, experienced manager, or just someone who is interested in workplace dynamics, I'd recommend checking out Morale Mindset. David's bite-sized publications and podcasts are concise, actionable, and exactly what the modern day busy professional needs.
Last year I was managing a junior employee on my team while our manager was on extended leave. Without formal authority and prior experience, I found myself struggling with managing this individual's performance and expectations. I reached out to David, who had just started writing pieces for Morale Mindset, and quickly saw how effective he is as a leadership coach. David was able to deconstruct the situation, provide feedback showing different perspectives, and give me recommendations on how to best proceed.
What I love most about working with David, is his professionalism and ability to present compelling solutions. Morale Mindset provides a powerful framework and is easy to digest. I urge you to check it out!”

“When it comes to managing people and teams, I owe most, if not all, that I know to David. Working under him previously, he showed me the example of what a great leader should be.
With how quickly my career has progressed, I would like to consider myself as a product of his excellent management and people skills. He played a large part in empowering me to be the person, leader, and worker that I am today. Because of the example he showed to me as a boss, I naturally sought to emulate his leadership, especially when I became a manager myself.
As one of the first leaders of a fast growing startup, I was given the task of building out an entire function from the ground up. In that journey, David has guided me every step of the way — from scaling my team to fostering camaraderie, to communicating effectively, and to achieving a wide array of goals.
With David, you can be sure that he practices what he preaches, walks the walk, and talks the talk. Regardless of your position in the company — employee, manager, or executive — I would definitely recommend working with Morale Mindset."
