David B. Bohl has been on a truly unique journey. Prior to launching his coaching practice, David gained his life’s experience and knowledge as an entrepreneur, business owner, venture capital investor, and philanthropic patron, as well as from the hierarchical world of a global investment bank. Upon "succeeding" at each stage in his professional life, David slowly began to realize that a change was in order. It seemed that instead of reveling in the joys of life, he, like most of us, had bought into a seemingly impossible mandate - a relentless strive to get further in life at almost any cost. He divested himself of all of his business holdings and began his pursuit of a more enjoyable and rewarding life. In time, David established REFLECTIONS Coaching LLC, where he now serves as a personal coach, lifestyle mentor, educator, and author.

I coach Business Women and Entrepreneurs because I am passionate about seeing women achieve amazing things when they fully accept their true abilities. Business gives women a great opportunity to express their passions and purpose in a way that also brings financial rewards. I believe you are highly important as the foundation of your business. As you grow and unleash your true potential, you enable your business to do the same. You also empower those you lead. I do this personally as I coach women and write articles inviting women to step into greater personal success. I also enjoy practicing my business skills on my latest adventure of opening a Cappuccino Bar and Sports Consignment Store. I believe in living fully alive and making the most of every moment.

Bill is an Executive Coach specialising in Work Life Balance issues and works with Entrepreneurs, Executive and Senior Managers. Bill reflects, 'The juice of coaching is bringing out the ‘greatness' in my clients. Greatness is more than ‘best', more accessible than ‘potential', more innate than our skin. It is always in the back of my mind, whether we formally discuss it or not. Where does their greatness lie? Is it in this pursuit or will it emerge later? It is a deep privilege to influence the old age battle between illusion and greatness. My clients frequently inspire me. Certain individuals over the years have shown me that no matter how big a challenge appears, there is always a way through. Our capacity to scare ourselves is never as powerful as our inner courage. Courage is so often revealed from our tragedies. Greatness always wants to peep out into the world. Bill has authored ‘Stop Procrastinating' , ‘How to get out of your own way and play better golf!' and 'Unfair Sales Secrets' You can read more Work Life Balance tips here www. theworklifebalancecoach.com/Free_Work_Life _Balance_Tips.html or join one of his coaching programs.
