Personal Testimonials

"Coaching with David made me realise that I could influence something at work where before the coaching I thought there was nothing I could have changed. This realisation made me feel empowered and much more in control of my own life. It gave me strength to face the challenges which I had avoided for weeks. David is persistent, clear, focused, friendly, challenging and very patient which helped me to overcome my resistance towards my problems and made me see things from a different perspective. Thank you David!!!"

The coaching was very effective....David helped me to be more confident and to look forward to the future with his non judgemental, supportive, challenging, relaxed, creative, flexible, patient, caring and open style. I would highly recommend to anyone!"

As a coach David is an asset to any corporation or practice. Investing in 'David type' coaching would enable the business to have a valuable return in its investment for its employees and associates"

"I am in the process of setting up my own yoga business and was introduced to David Finney through someone I work with, I had a good idea of the way that I wanted the business to evolve but somehow lacked the confidence to see it through and to recognise my strengths and how to use them to achieve the results that I wanted to achieve. David has helped me to find out how to use my strengths and to draw on them in times of lacking confidence. I found the sessions very inspiring"
Amanda Menezes, London SE2 (Aug 2008)
