Leadership Testimonials

"We have been working together now for about six months in a joint effort to organize and implement a significant change in organization, culture and attitude of the Business & Finance Department of the firm by prioritizing at the highest level marketing and sales efforts by individuals and practice groups. When we started working together I was extremely impressed with your approach to customize the process and implementation to the specific needs of our department. This contrasted very favorably with other providers who seemed to take off the shelf product and try to adapt it. The training and planning meeting that you led so capably got our practice group leaders to discuss and make important decisions on leadership issues. In addition, it led to a commitment of each group leader to create and set forth a schedule for implementing group marketing plans.

What has set you apart, I believe, from the run of the mill consultants is your unbelievable commitment to following up with each of the leaders for months after the workshop. I can't stress enough how your kind and helpful follow-up has helped them move their varying initiatives to implementation. It has been a delight to work with you. You are sensitive to the needs of lawyers and their time commitments and we greatly appreciate all the help you have given us."

"Over the last six years that we have worked with David, he has established a high level of trust and credibility with our management team and lawyers. He is very effective at tailoring his approach to our firm's specific needs. David has been a valued partner in our strategic planning, client development training and leadership development program. Most recently, he provided our practice group leaders with the framework and personalized consulting that helped them become more effective in leading the revenue-focused activities in their groups. The result is that all of our practice groups have been able to get more buy-in, action in the right direction, continued momentum, and most important, additional business. "

"David brings a practical approach to solving business development questions and leadership issues, which I have not found anywhere else. Moreover, he often thinks of alternative paths to take to reach a potential solution. My times with him have been very well spent."

Marc Folladori, Corporate and Securities Group Leader, Houston, Mayer Brown LLP

"Over the past few years at my prior firm, David provided leadership coaching to a number of our practice group leaders and, more recently, members of our marketing department (very helpful!). In all cases, people appreciated his style and approach and they reported they received significant value from working with him. I would highly recommend David to anyone looking for help in business development or leadership."

Mark Price, Director of Marketing, White and Williams LLP

"I have had the beneficial experience of participating in separate business development and leadership training sessions organized and led by David Freeman of David Freeman Consulting Group. I found both of them to be extremely valuable in terms of the content presented and the depth of focus on the subject matter of each program. They were also both enjoyable and challenging because of the varied methodologies used to present the material. Of added value has been the personalized counseling that has followed each of these programs which has served both to personalize the subject matter to my specific situation and to encourage the implementation of the plans and strategies developed in that process. Participation in the leadership program has already led to a significant enhancement of the business development activities of the Practice Group which I head, and I have found much of it to have been readily transferable to other of my partners who did not participate in the program directly."
