“An external assessment against the top six companies in the world found we excelled by factors of ten. I established a highly cost effective off-shore operation which increased its capacity ten-fold whilst the headcount has only doubled. Much of this was due to David’s capacity to help myself and the team perform at the very highest level.
I am now able to do two jobs with much better overall results and less stress. At a difficult time, we have retained all of the most able senior managers.
My work with David has enhanced my leadership ability bringing new-found confidence and skill in significant relationships.”
Dr Andrew Rut, Senior Vice President, GlaxoSmithKline
“I have always been suspicious of quick fixes and of people claiming to offer something ‘special’. I truly believe, in my experience of dealing with ‘development specialists’ over twenty-five years that David offers something which is truly unique. He works with a deeply felt care for senior executives and the company situation, and I can unhesitatingly recommend his services in situations where senior executives are facing professional challenges and where there is a genuine wish on their part to explore new ways forward.”
Rod Scarth, Group Organisational Development Director, Grand Met
“David Fish’s capacity derives from a balance of rock-solid common sense and a very finely tuned sense of clients needs – both the commercial needs and an empathy with their responsibility and ambitions. He has highly specialised expertise and experience, rare in mainstream coaching which is completely in line with high-achievers need for a deeper, more flexible and subtle process.”
Jennifer-Liston Smith, MA(Oxon), MSc, FRSA, Director, Head of Coaching & Consultancy with leading provider of work-life services, MFC.
“I first met David when I became the Chief Investment Officer for Schroders mutual funds business. The time that I spent with David from my mid-thirties onwards was one of those very rare defining events in my life. David has a fantastic ability to read people but, even more potently, to use a wide range of skills and intuition to help you realise how you come across to others, what your motivations, strengths and weaknesses are, and how to go about developing those areas that need attention. At times challenging, but always enlightening, David has helped many I know with their growth. I will be forever grateful for the impact that his wisdom has had on me. To my mind he is a world class coach.”
David Gasparro, Partner, Private Equity
“David Fish has the art of bringing out the further untapped potential in world class professionals. His long experience in this field is rare in that he stimulates his clients to move beyond their present level of achievement. This leads to an increase in their performance and well-being, to work more effectively with others and see their own position in a wider and deeper perspective. This is why he is considered a master of his hands-on approach.”
