Are you ready for your amazing experience?

One take away from my meeting with Dr. David was Urgency in action. His approach is relaxed, keeps the meeting moving and productive. Dr. David genuinely wants to help brainstorm ideas and enjoys helping individuals find success. His techniques remind me how important small consistent actions are to success. I would recommend Dr. David to others for coaching.

I had the opportunity to work with David from an executive coaching perspective. Going into this coaching engagement, my goals were to increase executive visibility across various organizational functions, executive leadership acumen and influence, develop strategic objectives for continuous organization improvement and employee retention and become accountable for career achievement.I can confidently say that each of my goals were not only met but were exceeded. I have developed a more influential executive presence to grow my career, made significant impacts on strategic objectives and promoted 3 members of my team. Anyone looking to make a pivotal shift in their career will not be disappointed with working with Arrington coaching.

Working with David was exactly what I needed at the time I needed it. He is an outstanding executive coach and has helped me stay focused on the big picture issues. I really appreciate that his coaching was a space completely separated from my organization.

I started the ASCEND program shortly after taking a new supervisory position in an environment that was having some tremendous organizational challenges post COVID. I was living the content of the course as I was going through it in real time. The course content allowed me not only to survive, but to thrive in a challenging environment.

Dr. Arrington has been an excellent facilitator for our organization's leadership retreats. He combines humor, warmth, and honest observations in order to encourage self-reflection and advancement of team goals. I have really enjoyed working with him!

I’m so glad to have made the decision to work with David at Arrington Coaching. He was just what we needed and right when we needed it. David has a relaxed approach while pushing for positive results. He is c.When you have been in a family business for more than 30 years, you tend to feel that you live life in a bubble. David was able to give a unique perspective on all topics of discussion. One of the most important aspects of our time together was the way he was able to break our goals into manageable steps, how to prioritize the details and shine a light on the objective as a whole.In doing so, I felt like I was able to focus on what was important and productive, rather than wasting valuable time spinning my wheels. We were able to meet virtually, which didn’t disrupt our regular schedules, and I love that we created the space to allow me to stop and think about projects, details and goals in a more thoughtful and intentional way. I have said many times to many people that our business is like a train.Sometimes the train goes fast, sometimes slow and we are always on it but rarely guiding it to a destination. As a result of working with David, I feel like I gained some control of this train. And that, in itself, is a very powerful feeling.

David was instrumental in helping me revisit the company's vision and core values. He was a sounding board for me, which helped me move forward on the development of the team and the successful operation of the company as a whole. The changes I made have been sustainable and have enabled me to make personal and organizational changes to attain personal and professional goals.

About five months ago, I engaged David for his coaching services because I knew I was at a crossroad in my career and I needed guidance. I realized the benefits of David’s coaching after our FIRST session.David’s enthusiasm, sincerity, and insight made me feel like I truly have a partner in the process. David helped me to clarify my direction and gave me the tools and perspective I needed to navigate a tough situation. And, instead of coaching me to overcome or conquer my weaknesses, David has been coaching me to recognize, accept, and ultimately leverage those perceived weaknesses into assets.David’s coaching has positioned me to embrace the change that I’d otherwise be battling. I would absolutely recommend David’s coaching to any professional. There will be “aha” moments in every session. I guarantee it.

Often in our business careers and personal lives we get stuck at zero growth. I felt stuck! I needed someone to point out the questions I should be asking myself. I recommend Arrington Coaching to anyone wanting a fresh perspective, unbiased observations, and non-judgmental coaching to jump-start new personal and business growth. David helped to me focus on my non-profit’s mission, share positive community impact statistics and be confident in myself and my approach. He also pointed out deficiencies in our web site that when changed brought about an increase in online donations. Coaching with David was positively impacting and time well spent.

My colleagues and I participated in a professional development session led by Dr. David Arrington. Dr. Arrington provided a thoughtful and interactive professional development session which focused in our specific needs as a leadership team. Dr. Arrington took the time to listen to our specific interoffice concerns and offered concrete suggestions for improvement. His input was well received and we are eager for a chance to work with him again in the near future.

Excellent Course! I highly recommend this for everyone regardless of what level you are in your career. Dr. Arrington brings all course materials to life, he is thought-provoking, engaging, and enthusiastic. Taking the course was instant gratification. Everything was immediately relevant and applicable.

Working with David as a coach is intense, challenging, and extremely rewarding. David is genuine and caring, and he develops a strong relationship during the coaching journey. Working with David ensures you will challenge norms, meet goals, and grow as a leader.

Since I started working with David I have seen tangible results: my sales numbers have increased 25% and we are on track for much more than that this year. The resources I have spent on David's services were a valuable investment in the growth of my business and are nowhere near the value I have received through his coaching. I would recommend David to anyone running a business from a solopreneur to a seasoned business veteran.

David has been my executive coach for over a year. After working with David, I am now thinking of ways to use my role as a platform for working cross functionally with others in the organization to achieve current strategic objectives and set new strategic objectives for continuous organizational improvement through revenue growth, employee retention, brand recognition, etc.In addition, I am now achieving career goals that were previously stuck in a holding pattern before I began working with David. I would recommend David to anyone who is looking for a coach with the desire and willingness to take time for learning you as person, understanding your behavioral attributes, and holding you accountable achieving your personal and career growth plans.

I worked with Dr. David Arrington in a series of one-on-one coaching sessions to improve my networking skills in the workplace and obtained a new job position. I was able to meet several new people instrumental to my career progression. I am grateful for the experience and recommend Arrington Coaching if you need to level up your career prospects!

Coming into a relatively new role I needed someone to help me put all of the leadership "ingredients" together in a way that helps me to get outcomes for me and my team.

I wanted to improve my executive presence and build a stronger team to get better results. I saw results quickly.

I mean, you'd be a fool not to contact David and get things going immediately because our leaders have definitely benefited from it. I've benefited because I've had someone and a resource that I can contact immediately and get the tools and training that we need for our organization.

The single-most important thing that David helped me to do was to establish work-life balance and feel like I had it all together. Additionally, however, I was able to considerably increase my prices, tailor my services in a way that allowed me to work smarter and not harder, and be a more efficient leader within my own business and with my clients.

David is masterful at cutting through minutia and he facilitates and teaches leaders to create spaces to share and grow. I will be following up with Dr. Arrington for further leadership development for my own career, for sure. Thank You, David!!!

I have worked with David for over 2 years in a monthly coaching call format. He provides great tools for preparing for the calls - that prep time alone is worth a lot! It's tough for those who are self-employed to take time out to think strategically about our businesses.David has helped me do that. During our calls he asks thought-provoking questions and provides helpful suggestions for moving my business forward. I am happier, and my business is more profitable as a result of my time spent with David. What more could I want?!

I now keep meetings to no more than 45 minutes max. I do separate meetings with each of my employees to really dig into the accountability 5P meetings with them individually. I've also developed a clear strategy for the branch that I will announce at our next meeting.

David is a talented executive coach and is dedicated to guiding the development of the strategic direction of your business. Using his process, David and I produced an extraordinary planning document that helped me devise and obtain the necessary clarity needed to achieve my business strategy.His coaching process allows the flexibility to explore different options within your business as well as your overarching goals in order to achieve a balanced lifestyle. David is a pleasure to work with and is truly invested in his client's success.

I can’t say enough about the support, guidance, and accountability which David Arrington has delivered to my organizations and me. If you are a business owner, a CEO of an organization, or an entrepreneur you own it to yourself to spend time with David Arrington, it will be time well spent.

Working with him provided me with the clarity I needed to help make decisions regarding my career and future. I believe in David’s abilities as an executive coach so much that I recommend him to my friends and colleagues. Without reservation, I recommend him. I hope you go to his website to schedule a complimentary meeting with him. I believe you will be happy you did.

Our 1:1 was nothing short of enlightening! I went in looking to change the trajectory of my professional brand. I left amazed how he was able to take the information provided in a brief survey on the front end, and with laser precision, hone in on the areas that needed tweaking. Some of his professional advice has already been implemented and is making a huge difference. Arrington Coaching’s 1:1 gave me the outside perspective needed to move forward. Having the opportunity, to be mentored by a “tell it like it is” individual like Dr. David, was priceless! I just needed to carve out time to thank Dr. David for the opportunity, and for being generous enough to even go over the allotted time in our 1:1 session offering additional nuggets. I really appreciate you for that! If you can have your brand viewed from another's perspective, I encourage you to check out Arrington Coaching. You WILL NOT be disappointed!

David is an insightful and knowledgeable professional with a true passion for leadership training and coaching. I found his recommendations to not only be heartfelt, but easy to implement.In fact one recommendation yielded positive results within 48 hours. I recommend David to anyone in need of a leadership trainer or professional coach.

The accountability portions really resonated with me. Even when getting direction from my leaders, I found myself thinking 'what's going to be my progress plan? How am I going to attack this problem?' It works in a circle - you work with the people that work for you, but then you also use that to help you with your leaders.

Dr. David Arrington's expertise and approach has been instrumental in strengthening our leadership team. He has been developing our management team over the last 6 months and there has been a noticeable difference in our manager's confidence and eagerness to lead our team to success.

I would recommend this program to anybody interested in learning and taking it to the next level. You learn new techniques, hone things you've learned throughout your career, and pick up new ideas.

I've had the pleasure of working with David for a couple of years now. He's been an excellent executive coach. Through working with David, I have become a better communicator. David has also given me an alternative and thoughtful perspective when I needed it, sifting through what is important and what is not. I would highly recommend David as an executive coach - he will quickly understand you, become your friend and your biggest cheerleader, and hold you accountable to the goals that you set for yourself, often pushing you past where you thought you could go.

My participation in Dr. Arrington’s Momentum Mastermind group gave me tools and a frame work that increased my annual revenue by 10%. Participation in this group forces you to take time out to work “on” your business instead of “in” it. I would recommend David to anyone serious about improving their business and themselves.

David's been able to use his awareness of social dynamics not only in helping us think through change processes, but also in understanding how the conversation is happening in the room. His insight helped us ensure all voices were heard and strengthened us as a team.

David is a great resource for anyone who is looking for leadership and management mentoring. We engaged David to coach our general manager, we are relatively new to business ownership and wanted to provide her with professional and effective guidance to be a positive leader.

David helped me identify strategic partnerships that I should pursue and some I needed to revisit. He also helped me reconsider my marketing cycle and how I position myself in my market. I enjoyed working with David because he is kind, easy to talk with, knowledgeable, and is determined to help my business succeed. I appreciated his questions and his approach to helping me overcome some of my business challenges. I recommend David to anyone looking for a fresh perspective on growing their business!

Working with David gave our team an opportunity to take a step back, evaluate our work, appreciate each other’s strengths, and also challenge ourselves to build further. He frames leadership in ways that are accessible, simple, and also attainable.

While working with Dr. Arrington I grew tremendously as a leader. He was able to get me to see and value things differently than I had before. He was a phenomenal coach and I know I’m a better leader as a result of his guidance, support, and challenges.

David is a tour de force of positive energy. I trusted him to challenge me to be better every day and I’m glad I made that investment in myself.Generational transition at my family owned business had many pitfalls. David never backed down when asking tough questions and for that I am very grateful.

David has assisted my development as a C-suite level executive in leadership. I have worked with him for six months and his program is both well organized and easily digestible. He helped me see through various work-life barriers and strengthened my approach to conflict resolution. He reminds me life is worth smiling about! In working with David and his program for six months, I achieved deeper insight into myself but also how others perceived my contributions. This allowed me to improve in soft skill areas and be more mindful of how important effective communication is. David made our sessions easy to comply to and work within my busy schedule. I look forward to taking some newfound listening and planning skills into my leadership thanks to Arrington Coaching!

David is very professional and has an encouraging leadership technique while providing pertinent advice and guidance. We began to see results after only a few months and our general manager has found David to be a great resource for advice on specific situations as well as providing general guidance for her role.

I had the opportunity to be coached by Dr. Arrington for 6 months, and it was one of the best experiences I have had in my career. Dr. Arrington has many processes and systems that he utilized to help me reach my goals in key areas that was needed for my growth. To name a few of the areas, he coached me towards positive results such increasing customer satisfaction, Net Operating Income, building effective and productive relationships with team, and how to balance life and work. I highly recommend any organization to make the investment of Dr. Arrington's services into their Leaders at every level.

My experience with David Arrington for executive coaching has been tremendous. David adds value by identifying issues and solutions from the viewpoint of a neutral party. That point of view matched with his experience provides a framework for his clients to make better decisions. I enjoyed David’s candid but caring approach to coaching. His approach the is right mix of challenge and support. I’ve been able to institute and execute the strategies and plans discussed in our sessions with my team. Overall, my time spent with David provided great value for me in obtaining my professional and personal goals.

​It was such a pleasure to partner with Dr. Arrington who provided professional development to our music teachers. In addition to being the consummate professional, it was obvious that he spent a great deal of time researching our organization to see how to best serve us.Even before the day of the event, Dr. Arrington did his homework, spending time with me and our senior leadership to ensure he would deliver what we needed. And, you don't just have to take my word for it - the teacher surveys returned to us after the event showed our staff found him incredibly engaging, and the messages he delivered were very-well received and implemented. We cannot wait to work with him again!

Before working with David, I wasn’t sure that I needed a business coach. In retrospect, that’s laughable. What’s great about David is that he’s super effective, intuitive, focused, and grooms his clients to reach a point where they don’t need him as much (which doesn’t detract from the fact that you'll want to keep him around). I highly recommend David if you feel stuck, want to uplevel your business or are seeking confidence, clarity and focus, and can’t afford to wait another minute.

Working with David helped me start to realize and develop my own leadership style, as well as provided me with some valuable tools to not only lead my team but also to "manage up". I liked the way that David was simply able to ask just the right questions in order to make me analyze and think through situations in a different (and better) way.

Dr. Arrington has led several leadership retreats with the team I work with at Education Through Music, and they have all been phenomenal! (Hint, hint...we keep having him back!) Thing is, he authentic, fun, energetic, experienced, very perceptive and makes the day feel whole! In other words, you finish the session with a sense of accomplishment!

I was referred to David by an associate of mine. I had never worked with a business coach and wasn't really interested in working with a coach. Once I met David, he quickly changed my mind. Working with David is like having a personal trainer for your business. He is extremely motivating, he holds you accountable, and constantly offers a fresh perspective on how you can overcome the obstacles you face running a business.

David Arrington makes a difference. I have been fortunate to work with David in a number of capacities, as a Business Coach, Executive Coach, Management Consultant, and Trainer; and he has been excellent in every capacity! David seems to effortlessly apply sound management principles to any situation. David helped focus our team's efforts surrounding one of our major events.He helped us establish clear, measurable, and actionable criteria for effective performance and provided the accountability we needed. This resulted in a 24% profit increase YoY for one of our signature events. Personally, he has been instrumental in my professional growth.He has helped me identify both my management strengths and areas I have room to improve. David also helped me clearly identify several small changes that have had an incredible impact. David is straightforward, letting you know you have to do the work, but he does this with warmth and compassion.He understands your individual needs as well as those of your organization. As he says, he will help you turn down the noise, the distractions, and help you make better decisions. This is exactly what he does. I highly recommend David Arrington!

David is great at asking tough questions to get you thinking about the direction you and your business are headed. He's a focus champion!

If you are looking for an engaging and knowledgeable speaker, trainer, or coach I highly recommend the DOCTOR! You'll be happy you've engaged with him if you want to take your performance and your team's performance to new heights.

David is an awesome executive coach! I work at a top tech company, and was trying to level up. David and I mapped out a goal and timeline and methodically worked towards it. Every growth feedback and each strategic point was thought through. Things came together and I can't thank him enough! I've recommended his service to many others. The program is great, his book is also a great read, highly recommended!

Working with David impacted my business in an enormous way. It was the difference between me running my business and my business running me. David helped me to take my business where I wanted it to be by helping me to view it through fresh eyes, with optimism, and a “take over the world” spirit. His approach motivated me to make significant decisions that yielded transformation and set my business on an accelerated trajectory towards growth almost immediately.

I have worked with Dr. Arrington to enhance my confidence level regarding clear and effective communication with other professionals, as well as leadership skills within my team.

When I started working with David in 2020 I worried it might not be the right time given the Covid-19 virus was having such a negative impact in our business. The timing couldn't have been better! David helped me get out of reaction mode and out of the weeds and to thinking bigger picture.

David Arrington is an energetic, dynamic, and innovative coach. When my husband and I first began working with him, we were stuck! Because we had so many things going on, it was difficult to achieve the desired outcomes.With David's help, we were able to prioritize, set goals, and make marked steps towards achieving those goals. As a result of working with David, we are more focused and have more confidence than ever! David was also instrumental in motivating our entire team by conducting a phenomenal workshop on mindset.If you are stuck or if you just need to re-focus, David Arrington can absolutely help you get from where you are to where you want to be! Thank you, David!

David knows how to keep leaders / strong personalities focused on staying on the right path, helping us not to waste time or money. He is there to listen, ask the tough questions, and challenge your assumptions in an effort to protect your investment.

The ASCEND Executive Leadership Development program's ability to drive holistic development, enhance leadership skills, and inspire a lifelong commitment to growth makes it an easy recommendation.

David gave us tools to use to discuss things collaboratively and learn how see and acknowledge others perspectives. We are very grateful for being able to take what we learned and apply it to our everyday situations.

Engaging, interesting, and supported by facts

It's been great to work with Arrington Coaching because we do not have a training team at our organization. David works so quickly that I can just call up and say, hey, I need this. A lot of times he has the content. But again, as I mentioned, he will also customize it for our group. So it's been a tremendous help to us and a benefit.

I connected with David to explore the possibility of having him speak to a group of senior leaders in our organization. David was a pleasure to work with and impressed me with his sincere desire to understand the needs of our team so he could deliver the most helpful and appropriate message during his time with us. As a result, David’s content, delivery, insights, and perspectives were on point and very well received. I found David to be a thoughtful and articulate speaker with the ability to understand and connect with those around him in meaningful and valuable ways. I would highly recommend David as a resource for executive teams who value thought provoking and insightful perspectives.

Great presentation. Reinforced, and provides thought to how I am doing the process and how to refresh. Great tips, encourages members to think about process

Great presentation 2nd class I've taken and have learned many things from this leader.

David's been able to use his awareness of social dynamics not only in helping us think through change processes, but also in understanding how the conversation is happening in the room. His insight helped us ensure all voices were heard and strengthened us as a team.

The continuing board members should be able to focus on goals vs wishes and make the work of the organization more effective.

Dr. Arrington has led several leadership retreats with the team I work with at Education Through Music, and they have all been phenomenal! (Hint, hint...we keep having him back!) Thing is, he authentic, fun, energetic, experienced, very perceptive and makes the day feel whole! In other words, you finish the session with a sense of accomplishment!

David made a fabulous motivational speech at our Rotary International District meeting. He researched and new his subject matter and had everyone excited. David is a man of high integrity, very personable, and the kind of person people will want to be associated.

Dr. Arrington has the unique ability to engage with his audience in a fun, engaging and down-to-earth way while drawing you into his discussion with actionable steps you can take to enhance your skills.

We had the honor of hosting Dr. David Arrington at VersAbility Resources in Hampton. He spoke to our organization about the Power of Focus. Dr. Arrington is a very energetic and dynamic presenter, our group remained engaged and enjoyed the session in its entirety! He provided our group with wonderful tips on how to avoid distractions, time management and how to communicate effectively and diplomatically with Supervisors/colleagues. One of my biggest take-a-ways from the session was finding the balance for a healthy/happy home life and work life. Our team walked away from the training feeling motivated and in control! We plan on hosting Dr. Arrington again as staff members have already requested a second visit!

Dr. Arrington spoke on Leading Remote TEAMS for the 2021 North Alabama SHRM (NASHRM) Leadership In Action workshop this past week. He provided great insight on making sure employees felt seen even during this time of remote work. The audience loved how engaged he was while presenting and have found helpful tips to take back to their organization.

After reading one of Dr. Arrington's articles, I asked him to address our all-staff meeting to encourage and inspire my team he nailed it. As caregivers, we tend to give so much that we forget to rest and recharge ourselves. David gave us permission to take a "Mental Spa Day." He gave us permission to talk about being overwhelmed.

Based on my experiences, I recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for help with general leadership training or other workshops/facilitated meetings on leadership, management (including change management), team-building, strategic planning, or related topics.

It's been great to work with Arrington Coaching because we do not have a training team at our organization. David works so quickly that I can just call up and say, hey, I need this. A lot of times he has the content. But again, as I mentioned, he will also customize it for our group. So it's been a tremendous help to us and a benefit.

I mean, you'd be a fool not to contact David and get things going immediately because our leaders have definitely benefited from it. I've benefited because I've had someone and a resource that I can contact immediately and get the tools and training that we need for our organization.

Dr. Arrington has been a great help facilitating ETM's leadership team retreats in the over the past two years. We've also brought him in for additional in-house training sessions. He's been extremely personable, knowledgeable, well-prepared, authentic, energetic and able to challenge us in the right way at the right times.

David’s talk was dynamic, engaging, and enlightening. It was presented with genuine and infectious enthusiasm. The subject The Power of Focus: Getting In & Staying In the Zone was both interesting and provided all in attendance with an actionable plan.David was a master of the subject matter and kept the talk lively with audience participation. He was able to learn and retain the names of a number of the audience members, which further enhanced the presentation since you felt he was truly speaking to "you". During the reception following the event, many conversations could be heard regarding the presentation and individual's intentions to affect positive change in their day to increase productivity.I would highly recommend David Arrington as a speaker across a variety of topics. I have no doubt that he would bring the same level of expertise and enthusiasm to each subject.

​It was such a pleasure to partner with Dr. Arrington who provided professional development to our music teachers. In addition to being the consummate professional, it was obvious that he spent a great deal of time researching our organization to see how to best serve us.Even before the day of the event, Dr. Arrington did his homework, spending time with me and our senior leadership to ensure he would deliver what we needed. And, you don't just have to take my word for it - the teacher surveys returned to us after the event showed our staff found him incredibly engaging, and the messages he delivered were very-well received and implemented. We cannot wait to work with him again!

Personally, he has been instrumental in my professional growth.He has helped me identify both my management strengths and areas I have room to improve. David also helped me clearly identify several small changes that have had an incredible impact. David is straightforward, letting you know you have to do the work, but he does this with warmth and compassion.He understands your individual needs as well as those of your organization. As he says, he will help you turn down the noise, the distractions, and help you make better decisions. This is exactly what he does. I highly recommend David Arrington!

I connected with David to explore the possibility of having him speak to a group of senior leaders in our organization. David was a pleasure to work with and impressed me with his sincere desire to understand the needs of our team so he could deliver the most helpful and appropriate message during his time with us. As a result, David’s content, delivery, insights, and perspectives were on point and very well received.

I appreciate the valuable time we worked together and look forward to a long-lasting partnership.

David was recommended as a motivational speaker by one of our staff people for our Company Annual Kick Off Meeting. After our initial meeting it was clear that David would be a good fit for our company even though this was the first time we had met. David's performance at our event was outstanding and everyone that was in attendance benefited from his message. Our goal for him was to inspire, encourage the attendees to have a successful 2016, and give them a few tools with which to accomplish that success. He hit it out of the park! Thank you David!

I have been to a number of industry presentations and David was one of the best. His talk was GREAT! He was able to keep everyone engaged and had great content. I left motivated and energized.

His preparation, desire to understand our needs and goals is second to none. He deeply cares about how his message would resonate and have impact after his sessions were over.
