A coach is a catalyst: A coach helps things happen without participating in the action. The client is the expert - the power - and the coach adds motivation, direction, goal-orientation, objective analysis, experience, and a vision of success. Confidential coaching services are personalized to each client based upon the situation, personality, and desired goals. David is an expert in the processes for smooth goal achievement. He provides personal coaching for success by integrating the creative process with empowering strategic plans. Coaching for groups, staff, and team-building is also available. We offer personality testing to promote clear communications, deeper understanding, and effective relationships.

The following are areas which can benefit from coaching:

• Goal setting and achievement
• Motivation
• Effective management of stress, frustration, anger and anxiety
• Personnel reallocation with minimum disturbance
• Individual efficiency by leveraging time and resources
• Team building
• People management and reduction of costly turnover
• Problem solving and mediation

Having been an entrepreneur for 25 years and a psychotherapist specializing in relationships for 18 years, David is particularly suited to work with family businesses, partnerships, and medical practices. It is crucial for business owners and managers to get along, yet there are inevitable problems (much like a marriage). The dual relationships that ensue can cause significant conflict in both their personal and professional relationships. This is often aggravated by differing personalities. An outside, neutral, and expert consultant who utilizes a safe, respectful, and positive approach can make the difference between long term success and failure. David can help establish workable communication styles and systems to minimize problems and maximize personal effectiveness.

The primary opportunity for management is to get the most from suppliers, customers, advisors, employees, and other business relationships. The primary problem is that all of these people have different personalities and interests. Creating successful business relationships requires effective communications on different levels. It becomes crucial to thoroughly understand gender differences, personality variability, and communication styles. David’s extensive background in these issues includes the works of Dr. John Gray (Mars & Venus in the Workplace), Dr. Deborah Tannen (Talking from Nine to Five), and the testing of personality types. He can help you toward your goal of peak effectiveness.

"Our work together has been limited in terms of time, but not in terms of my financial success. Your coaching worked then, and continues to work today. The areas of my work which have most benefited from our work together have been goal setting and goal tending, procrastination, and communication. David, your work with me has been remarkably successful." FS

"We are never truly happy unless our creatrive energies are flowing in accord with our true values. David Weir first emphasized this in discovering what those values are. And then he worked with me so that my orientation in life became aligned with my values." JD

"It was a great experience! I found the motivation I once had and I'm excited about it!" CM
