<p>To whom it may concern, </p>
<p>     I first heard of David Thiermann from a therapist who knew
of David's career counseling expertise. I decided to see David since my current
job left me feeling unhappy and burned out. My life was in a transitional
phase after playing professional football for six years and working the last
two years in a county treatment program for juvenile offenders. I was dissatisfied
with my present work where my teaching, coaching, and care left me feeling
unappreciated and unchallenged. <br>
    My initial meeting with David was very positive, and after reviewing
a portfolio of his clients, I was confident that his abilities would help
direct me towards a rewarding career. Through David's system of tests, in-depth
back-ground search, and other resources, I found my desire to go back to school
and coach football was very strong. David is currently helping me to decide
between applying for a master's program in counseling psychology or art, while
I pursue a graduate assistant coaching position in football. <br>
    David's positive input, sensitivity, patience and insightful
suggestions to me in my career search have been extremely helpful. I highly
recommend David to anyone that is seeking a positive change towards finding
a career that will be fulfilling for them. </p>
<p> Sincerely, </p>

To Whom It May Concern:<br>
<br>
I have worked for the University of California, Santa Cruz, for almost 20 years
and have been the Director of Academic Human Resources for almost 10 of those
years. After a particularly arduous assignment as a project manager I decided
to take a year off to relax, retool, and decide whether I wanted to continue
at UCSC. It was then that I met David Thiermann.<br>
<br>
David was quite helpful and generous as we explored my past, present, and future.
He was able to draw insights and common threads from what I had seen as disparate
activities and help me to identity many possibilities. He seems to know people
in all sorts of vocations, provides helpful knowledge along the way, and can
steer you to numerous Sources of additional information.<br>
<br>
Most helpful to me were his ideas on marketing. This is an area where David
has many ideas which he can illustrate with his own experiences.<br>
<br>
A warm, helpful, insightful counselor, I highly recommend that you use his services
if you want help attaining your dreams or just getting a fresh view of where
you are.<br>
<br>
<br>

To Whom It May Concern:<br>
<br>
When I started working with David Thiermann, I had been working for seven years
as a graphic designer and writer for a local manufacturer of nutritional supplements.
Even though I had a good job, I never really felt "fulfilled" by it. I
had felt that one of the major challenges of my adult life was a lack of focus.
I was multi-talented, and had never been able to pick any one field that felt
"just right" for me, and stick to it. So instead, I had found a job where
at least I could exercise some creativity while getting paid for it. I ended
up feeling like I had sold out. I came to David hoping that I could find the
focus I needed in order to create a truly satisfying career for myself.<br>
<br>
Boy, did I find it! In the course of working with David, I stumbled upon a career
possibility that had never occurred to me: becoming a personal coach. A personal
coach is a sort of "life consultant" who helps a person clarify their goals
and achieve them. Although at first the idea of doing this for a living seemed
"too good to be true" to me, with David's help I soon gained the confidence
I needed to pursue it. David educated me in techniques to market myself, and
after getting a bit of training, I was off and running. The process of building
my practice has been ecstatic. I have discovered my "right livelihood,"
and I know now that coaching is something I'll be doing for the rest of my life.
David's marketing techniques have paid off - my business has taken off to the
point where I have been able to quit my job and become a full-time coach. I
am making much more money and have much more free time than ever before.<br>
<br>
David is an enthusiastic and supportive person with an assortment of powerful
techniques that, I believe, will work for anyone who will apply them. He has
made a.huge difference in my life, for which I am profoundly grateful.<br>
<br>
<p> Sincerely,</p>
<p>Glenn Davis</p>

To whom it may concern,
<p>     As a reporter for <b>GOOD TIMES</b> I have the opportunity
through my various assignments to come in contact with many people. <br>
    I was assigned to do a story on David Thiermann, a local career
consultant. My editor instructed me to put together a write-up on Mr. Thiermann
and find out why he is so effective (and popular) in this region. <br>
    The story I wrote about Mr. Thiermann came out fine, much to
my liking. In the piece, I revealed Mr. Thiermann's techniques in helping
innumerable clients probe their career options, needs and desires, before
going on to make suitable and often profitable changes in their life goals.
<br>
    Mr. Thiermann's approach to careers, and life in general, captivated
me and I sought out his advice. We have for several weeks been working together
on creating career options for me. Through Mr. Thiermann's keen eye and astute
judgements, I have made overtures to my career options.
