Testimonials
We’d like to thank David White for his steadfast leadership and dedication over the past seven months, which brought stability and focus back to our union.
His tenure has been marked by stability and tremendous accomplishment.
David was the one who stuck the landing, helping me find the next levels in my practice of leadership. He brought the right balance of insight, experience, and discipline to our coaching and helped me grow meaningfully into my situation, my strengths, and my blind spots. He is a terrific thought partner and coach – and a real pleasure to talk to in addition.
David a wealth of knowledge and I've made tons of progress in my journey since meeting. My coach also made themselves available for support after our sessions for any follow-ups I may have. Highly recommend booking some time with them!
3CG's coaching methodology has been fantastic for me at this stage in my executive career. David helps me cultivate strengths I never knew I had and develop skills I never knew I needed. He is a great storyteller who can make big ideas resonate and feel deeply personal for you...
The union also credited White with bolstering its general fund, which had been depleted before he assumed operational leadership, and helping it weather the economic effects of COVID-19 pandemic.
