“David’s super power was always having the right strategy/idea, but coaching us to come up with it on our own. David has the natural ability to empower leaders to think more strategically, problem solve creatively, and plan ahead so that they are constantly moving forward. There’s no doubt his coaching led us to greater productivity, success, and fulfillment in our roles . You will never find another coach with the business acumen or people skills David will bring to your team.”

How does Concierge Advisory work?
Exploration call: This is where it all starts. Book a no-cost exploratory call here so we can discuss what’s happening, get a feel for how we fit, and decide if we want to work together. I’m easy to talk to, there’s no hard sell, and I will probably be able to help if we don’t move forward.
On-demand access: You can call or message me at any time, and I’ll return your call with a couple of hours or usually faster.
Decision: If we decide to work together, you arrange payment through a secure link.
- We choose a start date for our first discussion
- I send you individualized questions to answer before our first discussion
Discovery call: This is our first scheduled call, and it marks the start of our regular discussions.
- We exchange private contact and preferred methods to communicate
- Discuss your answers to the individualized form
- Definition of the challenges you’d like to address
- Identify future desired state in different aspects of your business
- Agree on the first actions to make progress
Structure:
- We uncover the problems and structure that are underneath the challenges you face
- Develop framework that coordinates goals with needs and challenges
- Together we create a structure and process that enables your business to grow
Weekly work:
- We have regular weekly 60-minute discussions in addition to whatever we discuss as demands dictate.
- I help with achievable accountability and also serve as support – we look at the ongoing tasks, successes and failures
- Homework: reading, questions, and/or things to execute when beneficial
- Mutual decisions on how and what to be accountable for, and in relation to your goals and roadblocks – and I help with accountability
- Always leave the discussion with clear action steps
It’s up to you what and when we tackle things – business values, purpose, mission, employees, partners, investors, business direction and everything in between is possible – and our discussions will bring out what is most important, and we will follow any thread that improves your ability to travel your own path.

There is no sales pitch, I’m easy to talk to, and if we decide not to work together, I will probably find other resources for you who can help.

Confidentiality & Guarantee
I am your coach and I work for you.
I will not share anything from our coaching, publicly or privately, and I’m happy to sign an NDA for sensitive topics that require one.
I’m also happy to speak to others in your business if we both agree that doing so would help make progress with certain goals. Alternatively, our coaching relationship can be entirely between us, with no one having any awareness of it, even if someone were to ask me directly. It’s your choice.
If you decide that the Weekly Advisory is not for you after the first discussion, I will refund your money, no questions asked. You may also cancel the monthly charge at any time after the first month or change to the Weekly Advisory.
“You showed me many points of view even from the business perspective and the client perspective, which helped me a lot in my business decisions. I benefited from your high level of experience to explain situations and possible solutions, and consistent guidance to the main target (a thing that many CEOs forget sometimes).
In my experience, as a small business CEO, I think you are one of the best options for the next level of business organization and projections.”
“I cannot recommend David Foster’s leadership skills highly enough. Our company struggled with low morale issues stemming from lack of role clarity and accountability. We struggled with making the vital decisions to move to market quickly and achieve our growth targets. We operated by committee, challenged by continuous finger-pointing, and progress was slow to be made.
David quickly established a new leadership structure with clear roles and defined accountability. With this, leaders were given zones of play with the authority to make decisions and move the company forward faster and more efficiently.
If you feel you have a great company, but challenged to move forward and achieve the growth you deserve, I highly recommend you call David to help your team understand and overcome barriers to success. Working with David, you’ll grow faster and with greater ease across your team.
“Under David’s leadership I knew my work would make an impact. David has a great ability to look at goals from a high level and put the right resources in place to ensure success. David gets my highest recommendation, and I am happy to be involved in any company that has his name attached to it.”
“We (the board) gave David very aggressive performance targets on an austere budget, and he delivered time and again, much to our surprise; he was simultaneously able to reduce fixed overhead, improve KPIs (reduce warranty claims, reduce shipping costs, improve fulfillment metrics), and drive new product innovation, again, in a very austere environment. David’s efforts were instrumental in maximizing equity value for our shareholders and I’d highly recommend him as an operator, leader and steward for your business.”
“A great communicator who gives clear and concise direction but remains open to input. David has integrity in his work and all aspects of business.”
“David’s role was extensive and included putting a management structure in place, implementing and monitoring sales targets communicating and building relationships with both our suppliers and customers all over the world, increasing GP and turnover. (Revenue in the UK)”
“There are times we need someone to give us the right answer, and there are times we need them to give us the right question. David has an uncanny ability to know which is which, and to provide exactly what’s needed exactly when it’s needed.”
Patrick Cummings, Founder, Functional Branding

The financial and life satisfaction benefits from coaching are far greater than its cost and time commitment
Coaching improves business performance, including employee engagement, retention, customer satisfaction, reputation and profitability, and that allows you to achieve a better work-life balance.
According to the ICF Global Coaching Study, a client “can typically expect an ROI in the range of 344% or 3.44 times the amount spent.” For companies, it is even more: “The ROI for companies is quite a bit higher with a median return of 7 times the initial investment.”
The Manchester Review calculated that coaching returns 5.7 times the cost of engagement.
A MetrixGlobal study: “The Bottom Line: Coaching produced a 529% return on investment and significant intangible benefits to the business.”
Founders are smart, capable and usually life-long learners – coaching can help you become more successful, accelerate your growth and find balance while doing so.
