“I’m Dan and I am the Managing Director of Law Business Research in Asia. When David and I were talking about the training, the thing that really came across was really the willingness to tailor the entire program to our business, and that’s what I think made an amazing difference in terms of the results that we got out of it. The team really engaged with David, they enjoyed the sessions, and what I’ve seen since the course ended was just a transformation. The people have been far more interested in their jobs. They have been much more aware of themselves and we’ve seen that flow through into the results. We had our biggest month the month after the course. It says it all.”

“Hi, I’m Chris. I’m the Business Development Manager and Law Business Research, and I did some training with David. I have always struggled with getting my messages and meaning in what I wanted to say verbally and on email. I would set out a big paragraph to client and it is futile to do that. After coaching with David, I was able to shorten my messages to make sure that they are read and engaged with. And instead of presuming what I wanted to hear from the client and going at them and not really listening to them, I am now able to tailor how I am speaking and then really listen to what the client wants to hear from me and I can now engage with the clients better and ask more probing questions to get them talking and engaging with me which then results in me having more conversations with new people.”

“Hello my name is Ines and I work at Law Business Research, and I had some training with David a few weeks ago which I found very useful. The biggest takeaway from David’s training is the *saboteur’s type. I learnt what types I am and also the types of some of my colleagues as well. I find it useful because I can now guess what kind of types my clients are, and also in the conversation I would know what to tell them and what to avoid talking about to my clients. Being aware of what my types are helps me a lot to know what I should be behaving in front of people and what I should be talking about. The other big thing that I learnt from David’s training was the levels of listening. I want previously aware of the levels of listening, like how you can pay attention to the client. I now put this to use in my daily conversation with my clients nowadays. I listen more to the client and what they say, and I think that the lawyers are happy for us to listen to what they want to share. This brings the conversation to a more engaged and interactive.”
– Ines – Sales Manager – Hong Kong – July 2021
*saboteur types comes from a personality test that identifies the default limiting trends and strategies that a person will unconsciously go to in any given situation. Reaction versus responding. So knowing your default settings will assist you to identify your triggers. Ines learnt about her colleagues and their behaviors and can better navigate her relationships there as well as having a better feeling about her clients. – David Bingley CPCC, ACC

Working with David has been a transformational experience for my personal and professional life. I connected with David during a difficult period of change in my organization. I was new manger who’d just lost 3 levels of leadership and was rudderless & underwater. David worked with me to give me perspective, clarity, and stability. He helped me see different angles, and taught me to let go in areas that were outside of my control. Together we created concrete action plans for me to take action on, which David held me accountable to. At work I was promoted & credited with keeping the team together during the turmoil, and I owe that to David.
Additionally, his support was key in helping me find my footing post-layoff, I’m grateful that we continued to meet despite my employment changing. I learned to hone in on my values, and used them as a guide. My perspective on wellbeing & work life balance has shifted during our time together, his coaching changed the way I show up for my family and my team. Thank you David!

I’ve worked with many coaches in the past, but David was the very best. I started working with him when I became a first time manager. In each session he created a safe environment for me to explore and expand, rooted in his keen ability to listen deeply.
I always felt supported and (in his words) “seen, heard, recognized and respected” even when I uncovered unpleasant truths about myself; this enabled David to skillfully challenge me while empowering me when I needed it most. David encouraged me to look at difficult situations from a different view, to take in the bigger picture, and reframe my usual ways of thinking.
I appreciated how I was frequently moved toward action, ending each session with a check in where I could express my biggest takeaways and share tangible actions I planned to take between sessions. David also helped me to celebrate my wins during a period of a lot of learning for me as a new manager.
I now have the tools and framework to help me continue showing up for myself as a leader at work and in life. If you are ready to embody your values and take steps toward becoming the person you want to be, I highly recommend David as your next coach. He is a master of his craft — genuine, insightful, and relatable. Thank you David for sharing your gift with me!

When David came up as a recommended coach for me (and I read his bio), I was excited to see what would evolve over the next 6 months! David supported me through a challenging transition at work. He was an excellent sounding board, mirror, and guide, as we unpacked conversations, prepared for challenging conversations, and he lifted me up to look at things on a macro level. I really enjoyed our conversational style, David’s challenges and insights, and the way our sessions would naturally evolve based on what I brought to them.
David created the space I needed for deep reflection to give me the clarity I needed to make some bold decisions and reprioritise.
Thank you for a brilliant 6 months!

I am writing this testimonial to recommend David as a coach. I have been working with him for six months and have found it a very rewarding experience. David has helped me better understand myself, explore new perspectives and develop healthier relationships with my team, my manager, my work (and the world). This enabled me to handle challenges with confidence and develop new strategies for dealing with difficult situations.
David is a very skilled coach and an experienced business leader. He listens with empathy, points out the root cause with sharp eyes and inspires me with his personal stories when needed. He is not only a coach who leads and accompanies me on my journey to find the right solution, but also a mentor who gives actionable advice at the right moment.
I appreciate the guidance and support David has given me. Largely attributed to his coaching, I have received outstanding performance reviews at work and exceptional manager feedback from my team. Most importantly, I am a happier person who can always find a silver lining during difficult times. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a coach to help them achieve their goals.

When I started working with David, I was a fairly new manager. I was struggling with how to give real-time feedback in a way that was both constructive and supportive, amongst other things. I was also unsure about how to navigate the balance between being liked and being respected.
David helped me to reframe my perspective on these issues. He taught me that feedback is a gift, and that it is important to be both honest and kind – and in real-time – to set your team up for success. He also helped me to understand that it is possible to be both liked and respected, and that the key is to be authentic.
I am grateful for the time I spent working with David. He helped me to become a better manager, and I am confident that I will be able to use the skills I learned from him to continue to grow as a leader.

David’s coaching is one of the biggest factors to which I would attribute the progress I have seen in both my career and personal life. Had I known the changes and impact the coaching with David has had I would have sought out his counsel much earlier. During the 5-month sessions we had the goals we set on Day 1 has been achieved and for mid-term goals significant progress was attained. David’s coaching is very clear, and tailor fit to one’s needs. I would highly recommend David for those looking for a career coach.
Thank you David, my future self 10 years from now will look back on this day as the pivotal point where it changed significantly for the better. I wish him well and the best of luck. His next mentee will be so lucky to have him. I can imagine a wonderful world where he could influence the lives of 100 of us.

David, I just wanted to send a note of thanks for the excellent coaching you provided during our time together in recent months. As you know, I was focused on career mapping and my own career advancement. While there have been some unexpected twists and turns at my company over this time, I’m so happy to say that the plans are now in motion for my career to take on some new challenges and growth. I’m meeting with my Chief Customer Officer tomorrow for a 1:1 to discuss opportunities and the achievements that have been conveyed to him by my senior management, who are fully supportive of my growth and career ambitions. I have already met with my Sr. Director last week, and she arranged for me to begin project work with the Marketing Advocacy team, which was exactly what I wanted. So things are going as I hoped they would. I also received the largest merit increase in my 14 years.
I wish our time together would have lasted longer but you definitely provided the guidance, confidence, and encouragement that I needed in order to get me this far and I want to thank you for that, David!
If I have another opportunity for coaching, I will surely reach out.
David, thank you again for your time, guidance, and support! It worked!!!

David Bingley’s coaching during the last 6 months has had a transformative effect on my management and leadership skills. When I joined David for coaching, I was confused about my new company’s culture and was constantly questioning my identity and purpose.
David gracefully accepted my proposal for being my coach. During the first few sessions, he patiently explained to me the process, and expectations and did a level-setting exercise.
David is very calm and empathetic in his listening skills. Many times he was accurately able to articulate my problem effectively and clearly. He developed a reflection and deep exploration mindset in me while suggesting some simple and subtle frameworks.
He gave me enough time to implement and use those frameworks and further understood my reflections and feedback which made the coaching a very personalized and fruitful experience.
I used to eagerly look forward to his sessions. His sessions were sometimes meditation and well-being breaks for me. During my engagement session, I couldn’t even realize how he was making me learn and implement compassion and courage simultaneously in my work life. Given an opportunity, I would like to join David again.

Thanks David for working with me. Your support came in in the right time, in the right direction. Initially I though I was supposed to work in some work related opportunities , but end of working in deep and personal opportunities. Thanks for being there, which allowed me to be open and share my vulnerability with you and work on the key aspects. Your guidance was key for me to bring things to conscience and be more aware of circumstances.

David provided top-tier coaching that impacted my approach to work and personal life. He helped me address several complex work-related topics. David is very personable and relatable. He has a rich professional background that allows him to engage with people from a variety of experiences and backgrounds – he has spent several decades living and working in the Asia Pacific region, which makes him especially suited for coaching international and multicultural individuals.

Despite feeling successful in both personal and professional endeavors I had this seemingly perpetual feeling of angst and stress that I could never seem to shake. Throughout our coaching sessions, David helped me to realize that while my personal and professional outcomes were good, in and of themselves, there was a divide, and even a lack of authenticity, in my professional life that was at the root of my uneasiness. David’s candid and genuine approach helped me to realize that while we should always be striving towards greater personal development, that should never come at the expense of being comfortable and confident in who we are in the present. David’s coaching helped me to be authentic and genuine in all that I do – no matter the setting – which has freed me from the anxiety I had been burdened with.

I worked with David, as my Coach, over a one year period. I highly recommend working with David.
I found David’s coaching to be really effective in unlocking my understanding of my motivations, values and what my saboteurs are. Using these insights I was able to relook at my goals and pursue them with a sense of purpose.
David is very personable, and excellent at making one feel at ease in conversation. That said, he is not shy to push you into uncomfortable territory which is where the real work often happens.
Through David’s coaching, I was able to develop better self-awareness and can now catch myself when I drift towards thought patterns that hold me back.
I found David’s coaching so useful that I went back for a condensed version a year later when faced with a career cross road and was able to successfully frame my decision process around a better sense of intrinsic values.

“The excellent work that David have brought to our coaching sessions is beyond my expectations. By guiding me through the obstacles with compassion, empathy and inspiration, David guides me not only with his coaching skills, but also with his intuition.

“Recently I was so fortunate to receive coaching from David Bingley, with his gifts as a coach. I was asked upfront to think about any specific topics I would like to talk about and what my intentions were.
David starts, with his full presence, he is so incredibly on point with finding/identifying those blockages, he also asked me very to-the-point questions about specific subjects and was able to give me some very powerful and useful insights and affirmations to use in my daily life. The entire process fully resonated with me, feeling sensations in my bodily system on very deep, profound levels. And when I thought the session was over, David sent me a captivating message the next day, as a great follow-up and a beautiful, powerful support.
In the period after the sessions, I could sense the continuation of deep energetic shifts, resonance and understanding – not only within myself, but also in relationship with other people and in my surroundings in general. And this is still ongoing. It feels to me, heavy energies where somehow resolved and/or released and I am able to work with these new energies in a very easy and accessible way. Thanks to the affirmations David gave me, I can remind myself all the time of the shifts that occurred and that David worked on.
The combination of both the deep energetic healing and the practical usability of the affirmations on specific subjects in my life, together with some very valuable and illuminating insights, made this session truly golden. I feel my life has been seriously upgraded, on several levels, since I had David’s session. What a blessing and of course highly recommendable.”

I had coaching with David and experienced things shifting and untangling in my perception, which I couldn’t get to those ‘issues’ that David got to with laser-like precision. I find that I benefitted from the session immensely also because I really took the time to focus and do my inner work specifically informed and guided by pieces that I found invaluable in the weeks following. It deepened my self-trust immensely. As for the other things, I appear to be in such flow of energies, new information and perhaps the time is dawning for me to welcome this as a new way of being. Either way, my self-trust has helped me to open myself more to my work. helped me to fine tune my perception, revealing new choice points, where I could shift out of pain into joy. So I’m beyond thrilled to report that with sustained focus on this process, I have been able to remain largely pain-free now! I am so deeply grateful for you showing up in the world with the work that you do!

Transformative, Selflessness, and Compassionate are 3 powerful words to describe David as a coach. When you work with David, you will feel the genuine desire to serve others.

“Ever since I met David 25 years-ago he was full of commitment, drive and action dedicated towards his job and career. He was stuck on an endless treadmill that was constantly niggling at him. He was committed to his career despite his feeling unfulfilled and no matter how many promotions he got it would only temporarily lift his spirit before it came crashing down on him. I was amazed that one day he took the leap to take his destiny and financial security into his own hands and become a coach. Even with the tragic loss of his wife and the extra responsibility of becoming both mother and father to his two young children did not deter him. He is an inspiration, even in his darkest moments of grief he was able to find the strength and peace to be loving and caring and present to his children’s needs. He realized that in this process he was giving too much of himself and was getting ill which awakened him to the need for his own self-care and in doing so lost 12 kg in 6 months. His journey into coaching has inspired me to look at my own life and identify the changes I can make.”

David is a revelation; he has really helped me take control of my life and has taught me to live in the present moment and to move forward with real strength and purpose. I was stuck on an endless treadmill at work and needed the courage to breakout and re-educate and reinvent myself. David’s own story itself is an inspiration; I am amazed at his bravery and ability to look into the abyss particularly after his wife passed leaving him to raise of his two young children and he still was able to balance take care of them, nurture and grieve, grow and move forward with his plans and dreams to become a coach. He is living his purpose to teach others and help people take care of themselves, showing how to take a break from life, recover and recoup. He can help you to grow exponentially and is an amazing coach.
