The Breaking Point

It all started falling apart
When his first company, 3PV, fell from 100 to 12 employees, David was overwhelmed and searching for a way forward. The pressure was constant, and the personal and professional toll kept climbing. Each day became a scramble to hold things together while trying to keep his other venture, AssureSign, alive.
The Turning Point

A conversation he could not ignore
David took another hit when his best friend and the groomsman at his wedding decided to leave the team. It felt personal. In that moment, what he heard was that there was no belief in him or in the company. Losing one of his biggest supporters left him shaken. That same day, he attended an event. Kim Ades was the guest speaker. Her perspective cut through the noise. By the end of her talk, David knew he needed more than a business plan. He needed a shift in his thinking and in the way he approached his leadership.
The Shift

Seeing beyond survival
Years of stress had filled David with fears and self-limiting beliefs. He had spent so long in survival mode that he could not even picture a thriving future for his company. Through daily journaling and candid coaching, Kim helped David rebuild his self-confidence and project that strength to his team. With renewed energy, he created a daring five-year plan to sell AssureSign to a larger organization where its technology could be a game changer. At first, the plan felt too ambitious. Yet as the coaching continued, AssureSign began to flourish.
The Result

More than a win, a whole new chapter
David sold AssureSIgn for more than he had projected at the start. Coaching helped David release the constant stress, and allowed him to believe in a future for his company. He was thriving professionally, and the change was just as profound at home. His wife noticed it immediately, telling him, "Before Kim, there were years when I didn't hear you laugh." Today, David is living life to the fullest. With the time and resources from the sale, he is free to do what he wants and to follow his passion for mentoring and supporting young business owners.
The Hidden Costs of Relentless Drive
Even the sharpest leaders carry burdens that rarely show on the surface.
Isolation
Highly driven leaders often feel alone at the top. They carry the bulk of the responsibility, move faster than everyone else, and are left feeling that no one truly gets them.
Strained Relationships
The pressure of leadership can take a toll on relationships, both professional and personal.. Misunderstandings build, appreciation fades, and cycles of conflict leave leaders struggling to connect at work and at home.
Chronic Dissatisfaction
Achievements pile up, but fulfillment doesn’t. Even with visible success, many leaders live with self-doubt, insecurity, and the nagging sense that it's never enough.
Slippage
In the chase for success, foundational needs are neglected. Sleep, health, and joy fall away, leaving leaders burnt out, depleted, and running on fumes.
Everything in your life is a function of the way you think. Change your thinking, and your results change dramatically.
