“I met David in college over 25 years ago in a global leadership organization. What amazed me then, and continues to amaze me, is his ability to see strategic opportunities while being able to motivate the people driving for success. I have seen very few public speakers who can energize and lead small and large groups as effectively as David, and that is because he genuinely cares about people on an individual level.
After college, we kept in touch and he went on to be very successful in the private sector and then started his own consulting firm while writing books on positive psychology. I started a software company soon after college and in 2006 we merged with a larger overseas competitor to pursue a global opportunity. As with any merger, there was uncertainty and anxiety within our team post-merger. David helped coach me through this process. We also brought him to Chicago to help with our executive and middle management teams where he organized seminars and one-on-one coaching sessions in strengths-building exercises. The feedback from these events was spectacular and our merger was a success with zero internal turnover. I would highly recommend David to any executive looking for support in team building; he will definitely help you find your competitive edge.”

“As a results-driven person, my work with David Pollay has translated into achieving sustainable thinking and behavior. The best investment decision for leaders and executive level professionals to make is to work with an executive coach, someone on the outside of your professional and personal world you can trust, respect and confide in about your goals, challenges and ambitions in life. The next challenge is finding the right coach.
I have sought David’s coaching and guidance for over a decade on a variety of important decisions and pivot-points in my career. I have interacted with many coaches, advisors and leaders in my twenty-five-year career and can say with absolute conviction that David possesses an extraordinarily rare blend of intellectual perspective, experience and judgment with a sincere interest in your personal well-being. He is truly committed to helping you achieve lasting results! It is rare to find a coach with his level of education, training, and insights, and with the human qualities that deserve your trust, respect and confidence.
I would recommend David Pollay to everyone because of his character, ethics and wisdom. Anyone would be fortunate to have David as their coach, and even more fortunate to have him as a friend!”

“David J. Pollay’s executive coaching has been extremely valuable to me for many reasons.
First, he understands how important it is for me to live a balanced, passionate life that meets my criteria for business success and my criteria for living a happy, healthy life. David’s pioneering leadership in positive psychology differentiates him from other coaches, as he has many science-based tools he offers to help me maintain high levels of well-being while mastering my goals.
Second, David never forgets what my goals are and keeps me laser focused and accountable for them. As a result, I doubled my income last year and considerably raised my profile in my field.
Third, he is always on my side, and when I fall, he is there to help me brush myself off and get back up. He offers ‘life’ insights from a place of such profound wisdom, compassion and understanding that I am instantly back on my feet and motivated to engage in my next challenge.
Fourth, David’s unique ability to recognize, understand, and explain complex business relationships has revolutionized my thinking, and most importantly, my actions.
Finally, I would like to say that David has become not only an important coach and mentor, but he is also a friend who is easy to talk to and have a good laugh with. Sometimes that is just what I need to stay on track!
I would highly recommend David to anyone who wants to move their career and business to a bigger playing field. I am so grateful to David for everything he has done for me.”
