I had the pleasure of both working with David one-on-one as my leadership coach and participating in his Polaris leadership program. Five years later, I find myself referencing back weekly to something which he taught me during our time together. David challenged my thinking about what it means to be a great manager and leader. Words alone cannot do justice to how indebted I am to him for helping me through a transformational change to becoming the manager and leader I am today.
