What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Every Monday morning for the past 2 years, I have made it a habit to listen to Dave’s podcast. It is one of the best - easy to listen to, I can take learnings and apply them somewhere in my interactions at work that week and searchable when I get stuck. Lots of value gained up by going through the Academy and signing up for Coaching for Leaders Plus.

Such excellent leadership advice. Refreshingly practical and inspiring. Hoping this podcast never goes away!

I'm from Pennsylvania · Jan 2026

CFL podcast has been transformational in my leadership journey. Dave’s insights and interviews are practical, inspiring, and immediately useful. The show also led me to the CFL Academy, where I’ve gained an incredible leadership cohort and a safe space to bring real challenges and grow alongside others. Highly recommend to any leader who wants to grow with clarity and confidence!

Jenny Wood shares that while leadership is about serving others it is also about taking care of ourselves. This is so often overlooked in the workplace.
