KIND WORDS FROM HAPPY CLIENTS
"They will show you how to create the dream work life you are meant to live and how to teach others to do the same."
Don Miguel RuizAuthor The Four Agreements
“The New Agreements Tools create a framework for a holistic approach to the operations of an organization. It embraces the development of the people while setting them up to be successful through optimization of the systems in which they must work.
Sue Nieboer, RN, MPAVP Operations, Gerber Memorial Health Systems
“David’s New Agreements for Leaders and 7 Tools are a one-of-a-kind consultation.
Leaders and grass roots staff work together to improve the systems of care. Through
shared successes, it earns buy-in from everyone. No more blaming and complaining. If
your organization is in need of developing leadership and management, cultural
transformation and sustainable systems-improvement, the New Agreements and 7
Tools are the model for you.”
Peggy Gaughan Doyle R.N.O.R. Manager of the Year, Director Perioperative Nursing, Brigham and Women’s Hospital
“As a founder of a rapidly growing high technology company with now more than 240 associates, we have sometimes been challenged by change, including the need to grow as leaders. I had the privilege to attend one of David’s 5-day New Agreements and 7 Tools Leadership Programs. It was greatest five days of my life! I saw…..no, I experienced the New Agreements and 7 Tools. Combine that with the spirit, love, and energy we all shared and it was a truly transformational experience that I’ve been able to take back to my partners and my people. We’re now implementing what we learned with all our associates worldwide. My partners and I are excited to grow as leaders."
Wurzel Parsons-KierCo-Founder, Continuous Computing Corporation
"The New Agreements and 7 Tools methodology, in contrast to the top-down, project-based approaches that conventional quality improvement programs embrace in healthcare, uses a frontline-driven approach that provides staff with simple and robust systems tools that are accessible and empowering. For the first time, frontline staff are directly engaged in the entire improvement process. David’s New Agreements and 7 Tools put to rest the misconceived notion that quality and safety in healthcare come at a financial burden. When the frontline care providers identify and improve the critical systems and their sub-components, the resulting cost reductions invariably favor any initial investment. In short everybody wins: the work environment improves, staff morale improves, quality and safety improve with significant cost reductions and, most importantly, patient satisfaction soars as they receive the care that they deserve.”
Frederick van Pelt, MD, MBADept. Anesthesia, Perioperative and Pain Medicin Brigham and Women’s Hospital, New Agreements Senior Fellow
“Our organization has brought in the New Agreements with great results. We now are more systems literate, which resulted in better communication, more creativity and higher levels of service to our clients. Additionally, individuals in the organization have experienced personal transformations with accompanying improvement in their management and leadership skills. Simply put, the New Agreements and 7 Tools can help you transform yourself and your organization. I highly recommend it, especially for those of us in leadership roles.”
Rich BradwayFormer Vice President Customer Operations, Cox Communications
“David has an intuitive sense of business in the way he works with his clients to, through his Four New Agreements and Seven Tools, accomplish extraordinary results in their companies. David has worked with the best, and still they learn from him on what they need to do to develop their people and grow their businesses. His model for change delivers in multiple ways, above all enriching the leadership team with greater understanding about how to lead and manage change. I recommend David as a mentor, colleague and advisor to any and all who desire not only to improve but to take a leap toward leadership and management mastery."
Frederick ‘Rick’ BuchmanPublished International Author and Consultant, and President and CEO at Hayward Enterprises Inc.
“I met David at the Deming Seminar in 1992 and was immediately impressed by his knowledge and abilities. I subsequently have come to know David as a mentor, coach, and most importantly, as a good friend. With his New Agreements and Tools, he takes leadership and management to a new level, the level of true transformation of not only systems and processes, but of one’s self. I am honored to know David and it is a true privilege to work with someone who is a real pioneer in leadership."
Charles Hannabarger, MBA/TM, LSSMBBLean Six Sigma Consultant and QA Analyst at The Highland Group
“I’ve worked with David in many capacities, from personal exploration to implementation of his New Agreements and 7 Tools in my business. Linda and David have also done some amazing work with my sister around discovering and pursuing her higher purpose for work. The New Agreements and 7 Tools bring it all together for anyone willing to do the work. Each time I’ve worked with David, the experience was transformational. Love David."
James ClarkBusiness and Executive Coach
“I have been waiting for years for a training that has it all. David Dibble has created (!) a brilliant program that combines the most effective coaching techniques (the seven tools) I’ve ever experienced, with a solid foundation in business systems. Best of all, their approach integrates the spiritual masteries of don Miguel Ruiz’s best selling, The Four Agreements. This winning combination is already transforming my coaching clients – and me!"

"Uncovering my full potential as an executive coach in The New Agreements and 7 Tools Program has been an amazing experience! The leading edge New Agreements and 7 Tools methodologies have shown me what business transformation is truly supposed to be about. In the training I freely explored my path as a leader and at the same time, added the Tools to my skill set as a manager and leader. This program is critical for business people wishing to expand their management and leadership skill sets while improving company culture and performance."
Christine HoProduct Manager, Vancouver Canada
“I found the vehicle I was seeking in the New Agreements and 7 Tools program. Bringing spiritual principles and science into the workplace has long been a desire of mine. Now I have the know how and resources to make it a reality. For anyone who is interested in adding value to their management capabilities by knowing how to tap into the wisdom of systems and spiritual science, this is it!”
Rev. Ron Neff Ordained Unity Minister
“David, I hope you and Linda are doing well. I think about you often. The ripple effect of what I have learned from you and The New Agreements and Tools continues to extend here in Oregon. A day doesn’t go by without me thinking about and practicing the Agreements and Tools. I’ll definitely be in the Train-the-Trainer Program.”
Dan Schweigert, MD
“As president of healthcare system comprised mainly of smaller, rural hospitals, we brought David in to work with us in two critical areas: A systems-based model for acquiring hospitals and training our managers in the 7 Tools. When I moved on to be a founder and CEO of New Light Healthcare, a company that manages and assists community hospitals through challenging times, we still rely on David’s Four New Agreements and his New Agreements Tools as foundational in assisting our client hospitals. As David is fond of saying and as we have found to be true, ‘Sustainable performance improvement in companies requires two things: Improved Systems and Growth in Leaders and Managers—You must have both’.”
Todd BiedermanFounder & CEO, New Light Healthcare
"I was on a journey to Teotihuacan, the pyramids outside Mexico City, to accelerate my growth as a leader, which David and Linda led. David asked if anyone wanted to do some higher purpose vision/Right Action work to address major issues in his/her work life. I volunteered knowing that I was feeling like my work life was falling apart. In about an hour, David made my whole life visible through the 7 Tools where we all could see it. It was shocking for me. I hadn’t thought it possible that I couldn’t see my own life until we went through this process, but it was true. We identified what I needed to do (Right Action) to resolve my big issues at work and created an action plan and support system. In 45 days, I was able to completely re-create my work life, all through the 7 Tools and taking Right Action. I’m now doing what I like to do. My boss is happy. My relationships with my co-workers have improved significantly. I even have much needed time for myself. This work is amazing!"
Jean SawyerDirector
"I had the privilege to work with David. David provided the leadership, knowledge and wisdom to take our group where we could never have gone on our own. David has such talent and passion for seeing the world in a different more meaningful way and opening space for us to do the same. His insights gave me the ability to expand the way I see my work and the world. Thank you David for opening my heart and mentoring me toward systems thinking and living the New Agreements."
Lisa DiFalcoDirector of New Business at Regroup
"David and I worked together for almost two years. His New Agreements approach and Tools helped change a hospital organization from silo-thinking into an effective, systems-oriented unit. He did this through his seven tools by teaching, prodding and coaching people to go to places they never thought they could achieve. He helped look at healthcare from a perspective that few other people in the business have done. Our organization was a much better hospital and people were better as a result of implementing the Agreements and Tools."
John RossfeldCEO at San Dimas Community Hospital
“The Train-the-Trainer Program gave me the space to change how I show up in my life. I entered the program with a successful personal and business coaching business looking for a way to take my work and its impact to the next level by combining my background in quality management, my spiritual beliefs and my coaching skills. The program strengthened my confidence in my ability to have a major impact in the business environment through the understanding of systems and systems thinking. It deepened my coaching skills through the practice of The Four New Agreements and by bringing to new consciousness the sacredness of the coaching relationship. It provided me with a renewed focus, commitment, support, community and allies to take my business to the next level. What is most significant, though, is how it opened my heart to receive love and support. When I entered the program my Dad’s health was declining. Shortly after the first weekend he died. The love, support, intent and generosity of the participants, David and Linda, were a key part of what got me through a most difficult and amazingly beautiful part of my life. I highly recommend this program to anyone who desires to have an impact in the workplace and is ready to take a stand for a new way of being in the workplace and the world!”
Monique Morimoto Flaherty, MS, CPCC
“A weekend with David is like being seven years old again … right at the moment when you figure out that you can ride your bike … without holding the handlebars … first scary, then exhilarating, then liberating, and then miraculously gloriously inexplicably, you find yourself in full flight. The most inspirational weekend of my life.”
Silvia MadrigalTechnical Writer & Novelist
“WOW!! This Course accelerated my ability to aid my clients in reducing frustrations in their workplace. I am much more effective as a Systems/Quality Auditor and Consultant.”
Vicki DelaneySenior Systems/Quality Auditor and Consultant
“In my opinion, now is the right time for David’s New Agreements to be put into practice. The experience that David takes you through helps “operationalize” the concepts and principles for leaders in an entertaining and understandable manner. Recognizing that change is ubiquitous, his New Agreements offer thoughts for managing change on a personal level as well as for leaders, who lead change and/or guide others through change. This will help you realize how your beliefs, perceptions, and subsequent actions or reactions impact your transformation journey, and ultimately, your success as a leader.”
Susan SmithDirector, Environmental Affairs, Shell Lubricants
“One of my feelings about the training, which was received so well by everyone, is that there is so much more to know and experience. So many people were hungry for more, not just material that comes from a book but having the living source is such a special opportunity. Once again I speak for our staffs in saying that you made it a fun and heart opening day. I personally look forward to learning and growing more in The New Agreements and Tools.”
David GoinsDirector, State of California CalWorksAOD
"The New Agreements are a complete breakthrough. As the person responsible for strategic sales in our company, the training gave me the knowledge and systems tools I needed to significantly improve my relationships with my customers and potential customers. In fact, it improved all of my relationships. I highly recommend that you take a few minutes to explore The New Agreements and Tools. It will change everything for you.
Barry Matties – Co-Founder, PCB007 Online Trade Magazines
The Agreements and Tools are simple, straightforward, and address problems that have been plaguing us in the OR for years. It’s made a huge difference for frontline staff and me in caring for patients and each other. The Four New Agreements is a bold new approach whose time has come. With compassion and good systems we are delivered to a place of genuine care. We are the ones we have been waiting for.”
Barbara DiTullio, MA, BSNAssistant Nurse Manager Brigham & Women’s Hospital, Operating Room
“The New Agreements online training has generated a dramatic shift in my perspective and direction and how I think about and implement my skills as a leader, manager and trainer. The principles are powerful because of their intuitive nature and simplicity of use. I highly recommend anyone in a position of management or leadership who wants to advance their careers take the time to learn and apply the New Agreements and Tools!”
