Birkman Testimonials

“At a recent point in my career when I felt torn in a few directions, Dave Phillips and the Birkman assessment brought clarity about what would best suit me in my future career choices. After spending 7 years as the CEO of a Fortune 500 company, I was not sure whether I should pursue another CEO role, do board work or coach management teams. The Birkman tool and, more importantly, Dave’s insights were instrumental in helping me see my choices clearly and to help me understand what would be most likely to make me happy. Sure enough, having followed the advice I got and applying the insights I learned in the process, I am probably the happiest I’ve ever been vocationally. I can’t say enough to recommend that everyone should invest the time with Dave to learn about themselves and to ensure that their choices in life are purposeful and enable their happiness.” Michael Brown: Chairman of Line 6 and former Chairman/CEO of Quantum Corporation

"At first I was skeptical. I am a practical and somewhat impatient person and I thought this really wasn't for me. I was proven wrong within 5 minutes of scanning over my first Birkman report. Uncanny results. More importantly, the information provided clarity and feedback that helped me recognize what I had in my "toolbox" and how to focus and use those "tools" to create and build my dream life (career and relationships). It sounds corny, but it was truly a life defining experience. On another VERY important note, Dave Philips is thoughtful, knowledgeable, experienced and generous with his time, energy and attention. Working with Dave made me comfortable and confident." Jenn Wesanko

“The Birkman was helpful in many ways, especially in regards to the issue of stress. My son is still struggling as to what to take at university and where to attend. I am still in shock as to how the questionnaire so clearly defined who he is. I am hoping my husband will take the opportunity to take it as well.” - Mother of University Student Central Canada
