"I had the pleasure of working with David at Sony Pictures Television, where he created customized leadership workshops for my team of ten people. David is a master coach and instructor, and he was happy to tailor his materials to fit my team's business experiences and career needs. The topics he coached us on ranged from 'Presentation Excellence' to 'Leveraging Your Social Style for Optimal Impact in the Workplace' to 'Dealing with People You Can't Stand.' David was also a great resource for supplementary reading materials for individuals on my team who wanted more focus on specific areas of personal growth. David was always incredibly patient and thoughtful, and he asked pertinent questions that made space for introspection and the ability to solve our own problems. I appreciated that his approach was always practical and solution-oriented with immediate, real-world application."

"David Waggoner brings passion along with invaluable insight, guidance, and advice that can transform an organization from good enough (or worse) to something astonishing. I have had the opportunity to meet with David multiple times, and I have substantially benefitted from his guidance and expertise. His insights into the psychology of leadership, the culture of responsibility, and the importance of trust and inclusion have had a significant impact on the success of our organization.
"Perhaps most importantly, David brings a passion to his work that inspires people to do what needs to be done to achieve. He not only provides the insight and analysis necessary to solve any problem but also provides inspiration and helps people and organizations work through the necessary process to source the passion and articulate the vision that will serve as the guiding principles for working together.

He analyzes organizational patterns and helps develop a culture that fosters and sustains excellence. And he helps people launch their careers by helping them develop networks, manage conflict, and establish a compelling vision.

"I have had the pleasure of working with David in several capacities over the years. Most notably, we worked together to build the training and development function in a $1 billion retail company, and David demonstrated exceptional initiative and led an innovative approach to training program delivery and implementation of various talent development initiatives. I've also been fortunate to work with David as a business consultant and executive coach at various firms where I've been employed during my career, and I've sought him out to assist with a myriad of change management, leadership development, and talent management programs and systems. He is adept at working across multiple industries and is an excellent partner to business leaders across functions. I am particularly impressed with his coaching capabilities and have witnessed the direct impact his expertise and guidance have had on employee engagement and retention, improvement of interpersonal relationships, and business productivity and efficiency. I highly recommend David to any firm looking for a high energy consultant to 'move the needle' on culture, executive leadership capability, or organization development programs."
