With David’s support, I launched the firm’s first environmental practice—and became its national leader.

David Craig Utts helped me grow as a leader and fulfill a vision I deeply believed in: building the first environmental practice within our firm.


He was an invaluable sounding board as I made the business case to our CEO and senior partners. The case was accepted, and within the first year, I secured several key customers. That early traction led the firm to fully invest in the practice—and I was named its national practice leader.


I’m so grateful for the time I spent working with David.

I can’t say enough about the value of engaging the Resilient Leader Method. With very little time commitment, I experienced a profound shift.

Alexa Brown

Police Officer

Gwent Police, UK

After just two sessions, I felt emotionally bulletproof.

I’ve always seen myself as a Celtic warrior—strong enough to face anything. But in my role, I’ve been thrust into situations of deep human suffering and trauma that pushed my emotional limits far beyond what I was prepared for.


Danger and unpredictability come with the job—but accumulated stress takes a toll. And sometimes, hours of therapy just don’t cut it.


That’s why I turned to Anatoly and the Leadership Resilience Reset. Just two one-hour sessions cleared emotional blockages I didn’t even know I was carrying. I reset to a state of clarity, energy, and enthusiasm—and felt newly inoculated against stress and emotional challenge.


I left feeling mentally and emotionally bulletproof—and in top shape for the job I love.

Despite years of growth work, I still got in my own way—until RELM.

I wasn’t sure what to think about the Resilient Leader Method, but I trusted the referral and was open to becoming a better version of myself. I’m so glad I did—RELM has had a profound impact on me.


Despite years of self-growth work, coaching, and reflection, I would still get in my own way.

Stuart Brown

CFO

David helped me become the CFO I aspired to be—and continues to be a trusted advisor to this day.

I first worked with David over a decade ago, when I was an aspiring CFO unsure if I had what it would take to succeed. I lacked a clear view of the leadership traits required—and wasn’t entirely confident I possessed them.


Today, I’m in my third CFO seat, leading at a new level of complexity in a Fortune 1000 company. David played a pivotal role in helping me grow into this vision. His support and insight helped me develop the leadership capacity I needed to meet the opportunity.


He remains one of my most trusted advisors. I still engage him for tune-ups—and have brought him in to help develop leadership across my team.

This process removed everything that wasn’t me—and made me something new.

Working with Anatoly through the reset process changed me forever. The process cleared out everything that wasn’t essential—what remained was a deeper, more authentic version of myself.


As a practicing psychotherapist, I was initially challenged by the conceptual leap. But the results were undeniable.


Since completing the process, I’ve become a more confident, motivated, and intuitive therapist—with increased learning capacity and new levels of creativity.


The healing has gone beyond the professional. I’ve reconnected with joy, resilience, and a deep sense of wholeness. The reset process has been nothing short of a personal revival.

Julie Fong

IT Director

Curriculum Associates

I’ve learned to slow down to move forward—and I’m in flow more than ever before.

As an IT leader juggling high-visibility projects, team management, and motherhood, self-care often took a back seat. Stress was building, and signs of anxiety were starting to surface.


Before engaging in the Resilient Leader Method, I felt a growing sense of unease. But through the process, everything changed. The anxiety that once loomed has subsided—replaced by a deeper sense of balance and presence.


Colleagues and family have both noticed a difference in how I show up: calmer, more focused, and better able to connect and lead. This newfound clarity has helped me address challenges more effectively—and access flow far more often.


Without reservation, I highly recommend this transformative process.
