"David and the ExecuVision program were very different than any process our company had experienced. Through the process, ExecuVision helped our executive and management teams clearly align our organizational purpose. Together, we found a cohesive “voice” for the organization. In retrospect, it was one of the more important initiatives for growth that we have pursued as a company.

"I just wanted to say thank you again for your excellent facilitation of our staff retreat last weekend, and also the time you spent on the side with me individually. Several of the staff said how impressed they were with you as a facilitator and a person. How wonderful, when your skills and energy are aligned with your "day job"!

"As businesses learn to adapt to a new normal, organizations are struggling to find a new path to achieve their goals. Several of our members have used ExecuVision services to help chart a new alignment for their organizations all with resounding success. Recommending David is easy because he delivers what he promises. If you’re interested in taking your organization to the next level call the “Professional Outsider” David Belden."
- Bill Clark, Chairman, Clark Leadership Group
"David Belden played an instrumental role in aligning our management team with the corporation’s strategic business objectives while taking into consideration the added complexity related to a family-owned business."
- Sam Polakoff, President, TBB Global Logistics
"David is a great listener and sounding board. As a self-branded “professional outsider” he is able to pinpoint and analyze within a very short period of time root cause issues. His experience running several national and international companies has been invaluable. Those experiences have informed his world view and enable him to share relevant and timely insights. ExecuVision has helped me become a better leader, which is a win for me, my company, and ultimately a win for the customers we serve."
- Ola Sage, President & CEO, e-Management
"I happen to believe that we are all the average of the ten people with whom we spend most of our time. David is one of those people who raises everyone’s average. I am a better person and executive for having spent time being coached by David."
- Ken Lopez, President, Animators-at-Law
"Even after meeting David, I was skeptical of the value of putting my skeptical team through a “touchy-feely” session.  But I had the opportunity to get to know David a little better over a few conversations, and I took the Core Values Index and reviewed my profile with him.  It immediately became clear to me that I needed to know the profiles of the rest of my executive team.  And that we all would benefit from a shared understanding of ourselves and each other.  I also realized that this sort of conversation would go a long way to improving our level of mutual trust, respect and cooperation.  And, indeed, this is exactly what resulted from our time with David.   Under David’s wise and steady hand, we enjoyed a sustained “real” conversation, frankly addressed some elephants in the room, and came away a much stronger team.  And the change was not temporary; we have sustained the honesty and are carrying the conversation and skills deeper into our company, making it part of our culture.  My team felt our time with Execuvision was the best we’ve ever spent together as a team.  And I believe that day marked a turning point for Mind Over Machines.  If we could run parallel universes from that day forward, with and without David’s coaching, I believe you would see our “new” executive team far outpacing the business success of our “old” team, and enjoying themselves more while doing it!"
