Dave is a very sensitive soul.
He knows what it is like to feel emotions strongly and deeply. As such, he is highly compassionate. He has a unique ability to empathize, which means you will feel genuinely understood, accepted, affirmed, and empowered when working with him.
Hope is one of Dave’s superpowers.
He knows what it is like to struggle with adversity in life, having personally overcome several life challenges. He has unflinching faith in you and your ability to improve your future. He will believe in you as you come to believe in yourself.
Dave will sense things about you that even you are not aware of yet.
He is highly perceptive of how people behave and can intuit what those behaviors mean. He has honed these abilities through decades of professional counseling and personal soul-searching. He is able to ask penetrating questions that get to the core of any issue you are experiencing.
Dave will never ask anything of you that he himself is unwilling to do.
He walks his talk and is actively on his own path of growth and discovery. He leads by example, guiding you along your journey rather than lecturing from the sidelines. He knows the cost of lasting change and won’t sell you more than you can handle.
Dave refuses to sit on a pedestal.
He is not interested in appearing perfect. He knows some of the answers, but not all of them. He is a real person, heartfelt and genuine. And he is very much looking forward to working with you.
I highly recommend Dave Shields. Dave coaches with an empathetic heart and a keen understanding from his many years of experience. He guided me to nurture strengths he picked up on, that I didn’t even realize I possessed. Dave changes lives! He is the real deal!
