We worked on strategies to articulate my value and navigate a competitive market, which ultimately led to me securing my current position that exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Dr. Dauv to any professional serious about their next move.

Within weeks, I was interviewing with companies. His negotiation coaching was instrumental in securing a salary increase of roughly 30%. If you want tangible results, look no further.

Dr. Dauv is an exceptional project mastermind! As a common introvert, he ignites when faced with a challenge and or issue. He brings perspectives on the initial cause, external impact, and methods to a sustainable solution!

Dauv is a terrific speaker! As an organizer for DisruptHR NYC, I selected him to speak at one of our events. I was looking forward to him to giving an interesting, informative, and impactful presentation. And sure enough, he did not disappoint. He spoke with confidence and wit, but most importantly, he was relatable. Too often, speakers fail to connect with audiences for a variety of reasons. But Dauv didn't just connect with people -- he gave them an experience. His talk was one of the best of the night. On top of that, he was professional throughout the process and was a pleasure to work with. Talk to him if you're looking for a speaker and thought leader to engage your audience.

Dr. Evans was commissioned to speak at the Black Caucus of NCGFOA for the Summer Conference. The Board come not be more pleased with the presentation. It was engaging, thought provoking, and digestible. Those in attendance spoke about being energized afterwards and how dynamic he was. As Chairman of the organization, there is no better feeling than having your membership walk away from an event wanting more and looking forward to the next. I highly recommend Dr. Evans if you want to motivate and challenge a group of people to think differently and take your organization beyond ordinary.

Dr. Evans provided a presentation on Cross Generational Workshop and Collaboration, focusing on the various generations in the workplace. Even with 200+ people in attendance Dr. Evans actively engaged the audience and there was never a "slow down" period over the two hours. He has a lively and personable style and all the information he shared was well-received. He is a great presenter with a wealth of knowledge!

Dr. Dauv is phenomenal and so relatable. He truly cares about his clients and takes the time to understand their journey and where they desire to go. I can't recommend him enough.
