If you are looking for sustainable change, transformation or development, you will benefit from working with someone who will help you to understand your internal and external world and how they are connected; someone who will help you understand how others see their world and how to connect with them; someone who will help you find sense, meaning, authenticity and purpose; someone who helps you improve your performance and that of your team or organisation.

David is a reality specialist, helping you to see beyond your perceptions, to understand the world as it really is and to appreciate how others see it. His stimulating and thought-provoking style challenges the taken-for-granted assumptions of the traditional approach to coaching and development. David confidently raises awareness of the unseen, highlights viewpoints and makes recommendations. He is not afraid to address issues, no matter how they are perceived. This approach, though often challenging, makes it genuinely rewarding as you find effective strategies to change, transform, achieve and succeed.

David’s non-judgemental attitude and sensitivity to approaching difficult and challenging issues, as well as being outcomes focused, enables you to quickly achieve the results you seek. He has worked with individual clients on themes of motivation, awareness raising, personal development, relationships, communication, leadership effectiveness and emotional intelligence as well as many others.

A professionally trained, highly qualified and incredibly experienced Accredited Fellow Coach, Accredited Master Mentor and Certified Team Performance Coach, David has conducted thousands of hours of coaching, consultancy and development sessions. He works with individuals, teams, executives, leaders and organisations at all levels. David also mentors and assesses coaches in their accreditation applications.

David’s wide ranging experience (over 27 years) gives him a deep insight into the challenges faced by the individuals, teams and organisations he works with. He has held senior roles with world leading B2B organisations and currently serves as Chief Operations Officer with the International Authority for Professional Coaching and Mentoring.

David has driven leadership and cultural change programmes as well as numerous organisational development initiatives including talent management, succession planning, team development, employee engagement and creating coaching cultures.

David recognises that the process (coaching, development and/or consultancy) is always more about the client and their environment. David approaches all his clients with the following mindset:

1. Clients generally care about their results more than his coaching

2. Clients generally care about their experience more than the services he offers

3. Clients generally care about their return on investment more than his fees.

David's focus is to speak the same language as his clients; really communicating rather than just talking.
