Our members are stronger together

Joining one of David's excellent TAB Boards was and still is one of the best business decisions I've made in many years. David has brought together a fantastic mix of business professionals, all of whom have different experience, skills, knowledge, personalities and views to me. My professional life (and personal life) has transformed since joining TAB, thanks to David's innate skill in selecting the best combination of Board members. The supportive, constructive advice given to me by my 'tribe' each month is always so useful. David's one-to-one sessions are supportive, constructive and thoughtful. They have been so valuable to me. David asks me to commit to an action and holds me accountable, which is so needed in this rather chaotic life. I highly highly highly recommend David and TAB. It will change your life!
