The Group Mentorship Approach
Bring Your Real Questions. Leave With Clearer Judgment.
Rather than following a fixed curriculum, participants bring the real questions, challenges, decisions, and situations they are encountering in practice.
David Orbst, CPA, LPA guides the conversation, helping practitioners strengthen professional judgment, explore practical considerations, recognize potential risks, and determine appropriate next steps.
How It Works
Participant-Driven. Mentor-Guided.
Ongoing Monthly Mentorship Circle.
Every session follows a consistent process, while the conversation responds to what practitioners actually need.
Bring the Practice
Participants bring current questions, challenges, professional decisions, and real-world situations into the mentorship conversation.
Think It Through
David helps the group explore the issue, identify important considerations, recognize risks, and strengthen professional judgment.
Learn Together
Participants benefit not only from David's experience, but also from the questions, perspectives, and experiences of other practitioners.
Take It Back to Practice
Each session concludes with practical insights participants can apply within their own professional environment.

Where more individualized support is required, separate professional services or DEVELOP CPA Individual Mentorship may be appropriate.
