Working with David Yassa as our business coach was a great experience. He is professional, friendly, and highly knowledgeable. My partner and I at CS1 Real Interiors Inc. participated in his Growth Coach program and gained valuable insights that helped us grow both personally and professionally with greater clarity and confidence. We are very satisfied with the results and highly recommend him.
I wasn’t sure what to look for when looking for a business coach but after my first meeting with David, I knew I had found it. His knowledge and wisdom are unparalleled. He makes the process approachable. He pushes you to grow and guides you in all the areas you’re unsure of. After just 3 meetings with him, my business had its best month yet. I knew I needed some direction and focus and I got that and so much more. If you’ve been looking for a coach, book him NOW! You’ll thank yourself!
As a fiery, passionate Italian business owner, I knew I needed a coach who wasn’t afraid to push me out of my comfort zone, call me out when I was wrong, and still encourage me in a way that actually worked. That’s exactly what I found with David Yassa.
I’ve been working with David for almost two years, and during that time we finally broke through the biggest roadblock I had been stuck at in my business for years. The growth we experienced was not incremental — it was transformational.
In the second half of 2025, we had three of our best months ever. Even more impressive, during the final two months of the year — a period that is historically very slow for us — we generated nearly one-third of our total income for all of 2024.
David has a rare ability to balance accountability, strategy, and encouragement. He doesn’t just help you get where you want to be — he helps you get where you need to be.
I cannot recommend him highly enough. David Yassa of The Growth Coach of Greater Portland is, without a doubt, the only business coach you need if you’re serious about real, lasting growth.
Before I found David, I had met with a handful of business coaches who did not meet my expectations. When I finally met with David I told him that I had one more year in me to see if I could make it work, but the stress was not worth it. Its going on three years now and my revenue and profit have doubled, I feel like I have a solid plan and not just vague advice. I feel like I can be myself with David, which includes arguing with him, or expressing the raw authentic ups and downs of business ownership. He is always able to pull me out of the hole and move us forward with a plan. I honestly would not be where I am with out him and would 100% recommend him to anyone who wants to get serious about their business.
I started working with David The growth coach a year ago now. Boy oh boy how far we have come together.
We have gone threw the good the bad and the ugly of our business cleaning up everything. David has been a wonder to work with. I will continue to work with him and I can not wait to see what the future brings.
Recommend to anyone needing to learn the ins and outs of their business and who is ready to put in the work to grow. He will help you throughout the process. Thanks David!
David is incredibly knowledgeable and skilled in his work. He does an excellent job engaging a team and ensures that each team member is heard and celebrated for their growth and learning. He cares deeply about people and it has been such a pleasure to work with him. I believe any business would greatly benefit from his services.
David has been an immense help with my business in Portland. He has helped streamline business operations to increase efficiency and revenue production. He has helped double my monthly revenue over the last few months. I was trapped in a solo operation mindset for a couple years, and he’s helping change the lense that I see the world and business through. I now have my first employee and I’m keeping them busy. Business coaching is not a destination for me, its a journey…and thus far with David helping my Fiancé and I with business it’s been a very informative one, and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Thanks David!
I just wanted to share how appreciative I am of David Yassa and the growth coach. We have been working with him for several years and he has helped our business grow incredibly, year after year . We would not be where we are today without him. We think of him as a family member and as part of our company. I highly recommend David and his team to any business (small or large) that may be struggling or trying to figure out ways to expand their business. He is thoughtful and kind, but he has a passion For his work and will work tirelessly to make sure you will achieve your goals And succeed
David has done an amazing job of helping us grow our company over the last 4 years and has worked with many of our employees to help improve our processes and improve our customer service/experience. I highly recommend him if you are interested in taking your business to the next level!
I love David! I went in skeptical, not terribly interested in the details of business, but he worked with me on my terms, where I was at. He’s extraordinarily sensitive, intuitive, humorous, and a real pleasure to work with. I trust him immensely with our business!
David is no nonsense. If you are willing to do the work, he will get you the results, guaranteed! He also cares very deeply about his clients and goes above and beyond to hold you accountable and achieve your goals. I highly recommend you talk to him if you’re stuck, want to grow faster, or are having issues in your business. He will give it to you straight and if the fit is good, you will definitely profit from it.
David Yassa spent the day with our team to educate us on how to use our personality traits and personal values to advantage in the workplace. This workshop was valuable beyond description for me personally. In the following weeks I have been able to gain more and more insight of myself as a leader, and how my values can effect the team. I highly recommend this service to any business owner who wants to build an emotionally intelligent and highly productive power team! Thank you David for the investment in our team, and your continued support of my business! I would recommend you to anyone who is looking to grow their business, or grow their skills as a leader in business!
I’ve done a number of seminars and workshops with David over the last few years, and keep expecting to hear repeats of the same info — this has yet to happen! David has an unmatched depth and breadth of expertise when it comes to business strategy, management tools, and sales.
I can’t recommend David highly enough! In only 2 meetings with David, we were able to streamline processes, improve our overall company vision, and began to see an increase in revenue. We finally felt heard, and continue to leave each meeting with him, inspired and excited about our future.
If 10 stars was an option, I’d click all 10. With David’s coaching and guidance, my business has grown more than I expected within only 6 months of working together. I didn’t expect to hire another employee for another 1-2 years, yet 1 new addition was made last month and will likely need another before the years out. If you want to take your business to the next level and have a coach who’s genuinely invested and above all EXCITED to jump right in and help you and your business, call David. I guarantee it’ll be one of the best investments you’ll ever make!
Unfortunately, our education does not teach us how to succeed in business, close a deal, or lead a winning team. David has a proven track record of helping others succeed. He has personal professional experience where he helped grow an existing business with much of what he teaches. I highly recommend David’s services!
I feel grateful and honored to have David on my team. He’s been the cheerleader that I didn’t know I needed, helping to guide me as I navigate small business life. He has an energy that very few can match, which leaves me feeling amped up and ready to take on my goals each time we meet. Thank you for your encouragement, wisdom, & ongoing support. So appreciate you!
David is fabulous! I never thought I could learn so much about myself! His insight, thoughtful deliverance, soft approach and direct instruction was just what myself and our entire team needed. The quality assistance you receive from The Growth Coach is UNMATCHED! Thank you David for your time and continual coaching. You’re awesome!
I was able to attend a work retreat where David spent the day with us. Incredible! Amazing coach and we all learned so much that will only add to the success of our business!
David provided our team with a full day of helpful data and insight. He was able to to paint a picture of our team and identify ways that we can better communicate and solve problems. David is very respectful and provided thoughtful responses to our team’s questions.
I met with David about 3 months ago. After implementing just a few of the small changes he’d suggested for my business I have started to notice some positive results. David is passionate about his work and genuinely wants to see others succeed. If you are struggling to see growth in your business, let the professional step in. David will listen to your story and your needs and help you make some positive changes to help you achieve the goals you’ve always intended to meet.
Our sessions with David were wonderful! He did an excellent job making sure that each of us in the room was getting what we needed out of his presentation. He challenged us, celebrated us and encouraged us. He gracefully navigated our questions and gave us lots of tools for how to build our business and how to train our minds to think like business owners! Most of all, it was FUN! David is an amazing business coach! 10/10 recommend!
Meeting David has changed both our company and our personal lives. Our growth has been explosive from 3 people to 12 in one year. Revenue has never looked better. But the most important thing to me is our team has cohesion and harmony, and we are moving productively as a unit. People are challenged and excited to be on board with where we’re going. I’m excited to build this adventure with our team with the help of David.
David’s real world experience and passion for helping me succeed add value to every interaction. The Growth Coach education process is growing my understanding of the value I offer clients, my CEO mentality and the discipline needed to succeed.
