Instead of feeling like I was on an island alone in my company learning to manage, I was reinvigorated knowing that my struggles with management are common but overcomable.

Jessie Callahan

Fernando Candia

There isn't a set of books or courses (online/off) that will move you as fast as this course into helping your people be their best. Nothing comes close to this course. It's one of those things that pays dividends and does "compounding interest" for your skills, your career, and whatever teams you may lead.

AJ Castro

MGMT accelerator is chock full of highly actionable, high ROI tactics that are clearly based on years of experience. I particularly appreciated the fast pace and high expectations that were set from the beginning - I feel like it was a great forcing function to kick into another gear. Highly recommend if you're looking for a boost.

Andrew Yu

The MGMT Accelerator has been an inflection point in the way I approach management.

Lorenzo Castro

I'd recommend MGMT (even for seasoned managers) as an opportunity to consciously reflect on what it means to be a great manager and to walk away with actionable next steps to implement.

Sam Huleatt

Dave has a deep passion and unique ability to help people realize their full potential - from first time managers to seasoned executives.
