When I was considering joining a start-up, Dale helped me go through the decision making process. He asked me all the right questions that helped me figure if the job and the company were a right fit for me. He made me aware if possible future scenarios that I needed to weigh in my decision. He also gave practical advice about things to include in my contract, how to negotiate for some of those things and what the watch out for. Finally, he connected me with a great legal advisor. I’m much better off now than I would have been if I’d gone through this process without Dale.

When I was thinking about founding a startup, Dale provided invaluable advice on how to set things up and how to think about the business. Later, when I was deciding whether to join Twitter, he was again a great source of input on what I should expect there. He definitely helped me make the best decision possible. Dale has great, broad knowledge into the world of startups and technology, and would be a valuable advisor.

Dale is a fun and engaging coach that pushes you to question your limiting beliefs and then do something about it. I had one of my most courageous professional conversations with a key business partner after a coaching session with Dale. I directly attribute the success of that conversation to the coaching session we had just hours before. If you want a personable coach who encourages you to create the life, career, business… you want, then Dale’s a great match.

Dale is an outstanding coach with deep insights and perspectives. He listens well and asks powerful questions, getting to the core issues quickly. He motivated me to keep taking action and challenged me by taking me out of my comfort zone. Dale helped me to stay focused on my goals while reminding me that it’s ok to fail and far better to take the leap and fail than to stay stuck. I highly recommend Dale’s coaching services to any entrepreneur who is looking to move forward with their business goals.

Dale Larson is an amazing coach! Dale knows how to efficiently get to the heart of what’s impeding growth. He asks powerful and meaningful questions that cause you to stop and rethink what’s possible. I’d highly recommend Dale to any CEO interested in moving their business to the next level and actualizing powerful growth and profit.
Christopher Padgett, CEO, Growth Revolution

Dale was my executive coach in 2011. He helped me get through very difficult strategic decisions and work-life balance issues. He made sure I stayed focused on the really important issues and not just the urgent stuff which appears to be important. Great value for your money and time. I highly recommend him. I will hire him again.
Sach Chaudhari, Founder, VideoWalkIn

Dale is an expert in strategic marketing and business operations management. He turns ideas into tangible business practices with successful outcomes. Dale is focused, analytical, and intelligent. Passionate, dedicated, and with high integrity, he is an out of the box thinker who grasps the subtleties of business problems. He is aware of the latest trends, but can separate the hype from the real with a forward looking perspective. Highly Recommended.

How to deploy limited resources while launching a company is a difficult decision. As such, I had reservations about spending money on executive coaching because I hadn’t done it before and didn’t understand how it translated into business value. I’m incredibly glad I overcame these reservations and became Dale’s client. Dale does an amazing job at identifying how barriers in a person’s psyche impacts the business. Based on these barriers, he facilitates creation of strategies to overcome them. Most importantly to me, he does all this in a skillful unobtrusive way and very quickly. In short, I’ve found Dale’s ear a valuable investment that I believe will improve the outcomes of my business. I suspect it’s an investment that’s worthwhile for others to make as well!

Dale has been an amazing coach who has helped me organize and prioritize my professional (and even my personal) life. He’s a great listener and one thing I really like about Dale is the kinds of questions he asks me, questions that inevitably lead to some great insight that I can immediately put into action! Working with Dale has been a great experience.
Cesar Castro, CEO, DiscoveryCast

Dale understands what makes startups successful–above all that it’s all about human beings and their goals, skills, perspectives, and needs. He’s also the kind of person who’s able to see things about businesses that the businesses themselves may be unable to see–and his advice is constructive and actionable.

Dale has been fantastic to work with. He has a unique way of getting to the heart of the matter and has served as a valuable sounding board for both strategic and tactical issues. I highly recommend his services.

I found Dale to be a courageous and insightful coach, who could see through the fluff and focus on the real, underlying issues. His passion for helping others to achieve their personal and professional goals was evident in his interactions and his approach.
