Coaching Testimonials

“As an executive coach, Lawrence weaves together insightful observations with practical advice and transformative exercises. His approach helps one to move beyond old patterns of behavior and thought to discover more satisfying and effective ways to engage in work.”

Daniel Seitz
Executive Director, Council on Naturopathic Medical Education

“From my first session, I realized that Lawrence was the coach for me. I had begun my coaching with Lawrence immediately follow a four session workshop given by Lawrence on language, communication, moods and emotion. He has an incredible ability to keep our weekly sessions productive and on point. He helped me discover where I needed to focus my time and energies and help keep me on track. Lawrence brought to me many powerful tools to express myself. The process has also made more aware of how my past life experience has shaped me, how to not fall into old patterns and create new, more positive patterns to communicate effectively. These tools gave me an awareness of how I communicate. and thus communication with my family, friends and customers in business has become clearer due to my coaching with Lawrence.  The key success has been an enhanced awareness of how I am and how that might be perceived by others.  I  have benefited a great deal from Lawrence and his coaching. It’s been a powerful eye-opening approach which has produced amazing changes.”

“Beyond the various life-coaching strategies she used, Margo’s general presence and demeanor—emanating genuine belief in my potential—helped me to recognize possibilities and regain confidence. In a remarkably short time, my work life has evolved into a truly satisfying combination of activities that suit my talents and temperament, I’ve begun some creative pursuits, and my family life has been enhanced. Each area of life seems to directly relate to all the others. We all could benefit from a little coaching through the inevitable challenges and obstacles of life, and anyone seeking this kind of support would be well-served by Margo Davis-Hollander. I am grateful for her approach toward getting me to discover new ways of being in and interacting with the world.”

“It has been eye-opening and immensely satisfying to work with Margo.  Her ability to listen deeply, respond thoughtfully and ask questions adeptly has gracefully led me to new ways of looking at how I have gone through my life in the past, and opened up possibilities about how I want to live it now. Margo has helped me make connections between people and events in my life, and understand their relationship to my present. At every step Margo honors and respects my feelings, and comfortably encourages me to push myself further.”

“The Great Barrington Rudolf Steiner School contracted with Dynamic Change to do staff development work with our administrative and office staff of seven….In these sessions, the Davis-Hollanders presented material regarding what individuals bring to the work place and how assumptions, moods, and expectations affect interpersonal relationships…We not only learned new ways of seeing behaviors, we had a lot of fun doing it!…The work accomplished with Dynamic Change gave the staff a common language and base of understanding as we seek to work more effectively together.  It enabled us to each examine what we bring to work and to be more conscious and intentional in dealing with our colleagues.

Lawrence and Margo are sensitive and competent professionals who bring what is the most current to personal responsibility, interpersonal interactions, and group dynamics.  I am happy to recommend them….”

“I am a recently retired educator living in Berkshire County, MA. I am a youthful and energetic 60 year old man, and I view “retirement” as a gift and opportunity to be productive, creative and empowering. I started seeing Lawrence Davis-Hollander from Dynamic Change several months ago as a life and career coach. These sessions with him have had a dramatic impact on my life. Lawrence has helped me to view retirement as an exciting “beginning”. Utilizing a skillful reportiore of exercises, he has encouraged me to focus on my personal and professional strengths that I have already brought to several new endeavors. Lawrence encourages one to see the possibilities, while supporting the self-discipline, reasonable expectations, and courage to realize those possibilities. What a terrific ally as I move into new arenas of life!”

“Being a self reliant and introspective person, it was a struggle for me to find the time to be “coached” by an outside source.  Honestly I rarely looked forward to my session but to my great surprise when I left I always felt lighter and more excited about my life.  This would happen at the end of each of my dozen or so sessions.    Lawrence demonstrated wonderful listening skills and offered me strategies to be a more holistically skillful person in the world.  Even with such positive experiences, it would be a struggle to stay committed to the detailed process Lawrence was suggesting.  Listening to my heart and persevering has paid off with great dividends.  I’ve become more clear with what I want from life and I feel like I’ve pressed the life refresh button.  My only regret is that because of Lawrence’s support I’ve moved 3 hours away to follow my bliss and no longer have this wonderful resource in my backyard.”
