TESTIMONIALS
"The ultimate test of any advisory intervention is whether
one can draw a causal relationship between the intervention and a
favorable result. That the advisor happened to have been
intelligent, personable, engaged, and insightful is always desirable
but, alas, secondary. Our family's experience with David Paradise
fulfilled all parameters of success - both primary and secondary.
Offering our advise to others: follow David's sage advice. The odds
will favor success." Carol and Marc Bard, former Clients
Reflections On Having
a Mentor -- "With my last promotion, I had occasion to reflect
on my career and on my personal life. It occurred to me that there
was one person who had contributed to my success and to my personal
growth - a mentor - and that person was Dr. David Paradise.
I think it speaks to the fact that you are the best coach I've
worked with. It probably also speaks to how I now feel about myself
- that I deserve the best, my time is valuable, and an hour with you
is worth several with a less skilled mentor.
Although it was very
difficult and painful, I'm glad you persisted in encouraging me to
have a meeting with my parents, to have them as 'illuminators'.
Professionally, it helped me to see the individual in a larger
context. My parents shared information that I'd never heard before.
It helped to understand them better.
You accepted me where I
was, instilled hope in me that I could change, and were there (and
still are) all along the rocky road.
Thank you!"

At CSMi two
brothers/business partners were unable to work well as a team.
Their communication and decision-making process had become less
effective, negatively impacting both their personal relationship and
the business performance. "Using the skills and methods David taught
us, in a relatively short period of time, we were able to again work
effectively as a team. These changes help drive the overall company
performance and our job satisfaction. We owe David much more than we
paid him." - Rich and Rob Potash, Co-Owners
David engaged with Dan Wyner, the ownership group, and the
management team: Dr. Paradise has been the guiding light to Shawmut
Mills in establishing effective communication and decision-making
for our management team. His insights on how to overcome our
disputes and lead more productively were immeasurable. - Dan Wyner,
former President of Shawmut Mills, West Bridgewater, MA, and current
CEO of G-Form, a rapidly growing Rhode Island based manufacturer of
high-tech products.
At Gray, Gray & Gray, David facilitated partner meetings that
promoted more effective partner behaviors: David Paradise's clear
and decisive models of communication are an asset to any
professional firm and family business. Along with his advice on how
to be proactive in addressing internal human resources, he has been
of great value to us. - John Nardozzi, former Partner at Gray, Gray
& Gray LLP
At Dorian Color Lab David assisted owners with shareholder
behaviors: Dr. David Paradise helped us sort out the processes
needed to run our business and helped us to discuss effectively our
relationships. An important facet of the work was to show us how to
make the necessary structural changes in our business to blend our
different temperaments and goals, and provide a work environment
that is healthier and more satisfying. Our bottom line continues to
grow in a very healthy way as a result. - Dorian Color Labs, Owner
