About 18 months ago, I found myself at a crossroads in my career and personal life. Being a physician myself, I wasn't sure what to expect from a life coach I found through the internet. Looking back, I consider myself very lucky to have discovered David S. Wilde in exactly this way.

In the past, I've tried traditional therapy several times but never found it helpful, only frustrating. What made the life coach experience with David Wilde so different is that he encouraged me to focus on my strengths and not my weaknesses. He didn't treat me as someone with a psychological problem but rather as an individual with a range of choices. He made it his job to help me sort through the options, to let go of those that would increase my frustration, and to pursue alternatives that would bring me happiness.

With David's help, I was able to find a great job that gives me everything I was hoping for in terms of enjoyment and the feeling that what I do is valuable. And more importantly, in my personal life, I was able to define what I needed in a relationship and to understand why my significant other at the time wasn't serving my best interests. David's perceptions are laser-sharp when it comes to assessing the pluses and minuses of relationships. What I appreciated most were that he always highlighted my abilities, rooted for me, and helped me to make the correct decision. After every session, I felt empowered and invigorated -- a far cry from traditional psychotherapy, which delves into the origins of one's flaws and can cause a sense of sadness, loss, or inadequacy.

David gives his clients homework -- but he does his homework too. At every session I knew he had read what I emailed to him, and not only that, he also thought about it. At the beginning, he used a device called the Wheel of Life. Initially, mine was lacking in satisfaction in several areas. After a few short months of working with David, I can honestly say that every segment of my Wheel of Life is close to 100% in terms of happiness and fulfillment of my goals. ~Susan, Physician
