"We deeply value our mentoring relationship with David, whose guidance is pivotal as we formalize our nature-based education nonprofit. His thoughtful insights and supportive presence reaffirm our vision and work, yet he also offers innovative and fresh perspectives for us to consider. David creates a nurturing environment for addressing challenging questions, supporting us to move forward confidently in our mission."

"Working with David has been an incredibly enriching experience. His intentional approach and deep perspective have significantly supported our organization during a critical time of growth, when we were making the transition from being a 'passion project' to a fully fledged organization. David lit a path forward for our organization, and showed us what is possible." 

"It was clear from the beginning that David was able to flex his approach to whatever we and our org needed--soulful and slow, or analytical and action-oriented. We needed the latter, but he mixed in the former by listening deeply, empathizing, affirming. He helps us build skills and make a concrete plan for the issues we are facing. Thank you David!"

"Over the past year, I have served as Steering Committee Chair alongside Jeannie McGartland, who stepped into the role of School Director at New Amsterdam School during a very challenging time. Guided by David Brownstein's mentorship, I have witnessed Jeannie's remarkable growth and development, showcasing strong leadership and resilience. David's clarity and insightful questions have been instrumental in providing essential guidance that has served as a bedrock for us as we navigate the future of the school. David consistently holds space for the big picture, which has been energizing, to say the least, infusing our efforts with clarity and purpose."
