Testimonial:
I had a great experience with an imperfect start® at a time when I was searching for a mentor or coach to support my next steps.
David took the time to truly understand my goals and proposed authentic, tailored solutions to help me achieve them. The programmes are structured and grounded in strong frameworks, which made me feel guided and supported throughout the journey.
Beyond our scheduled sessions, David was consistently responsive and generous with his time, offering thoughtful insights whenever I had questions. I highly recommend working with him.
