About the coach, Dave Katz

Because I’m a senior manager at Cisco who has personally hired over a hundred people, I know what a manager looks for.   I can help brainstorm your strategy, create your resume, and prepare for your interview.  I’m a leader who mentors other leaders.

Because I was a consulting engineer with IBM and Cisco, I bring a services perspective to the coaching table.  I can help you see your power and leverage your strengths to provide value to your company and customers.

Because I have successfully proposed and innovated new ways of doing business at Cisco, I can help you propose changes to your company that will show a large ROI.  One brilliant proposal, one great idea can change a company and create a valuable position for you.

Because I have worked for a bank, a power company, and a defense contractor, I understand many industries, and how they work.  I’ve been a customer and a vendor.  It’s important to know both sides of the business.

I’m a dreamer, a listener, an activator, a strategist, a maximizer, an achiever, and an individualist.  I am built for speed, and love to break through walls and say yes where others have said no. 

I believe in and fight for my clients.  I help turn trouble into learning, and failure into comebacks.   I challenge clients to say yes where they have said no, to discover, become aware, and make new decisions.  I speak the truth, am openly curious, and encourage my clients on to success.  I want them to create what they say they want.
