Why work with me?
Leadership isn't something I've learned about in a classroom. I've been there and done it.
So I know that... You probably don't need someone else to tell you what to do.
When you're a senior leader, you've probably already got plenty of people giving you advice.
Your team has opinions. Your colleagues have opinions. Your organisation has expectations. You likely have a good idea yourself about what you should do.
What you often don't have is somewhere to think.
Somewhere completely confidential where you can say what you're really thinking. Explore the options without having to defend them. Challenge your own assumptions. Work through the things you wouldn't necessarily say to your colleagues.
That's where I come in.
I bring experience of leadership, an independent perspective and the willingness to ask the questions that might be uncomfortable — without telling you what the answer should be.
My job isn't to give you answers.
It's to help you find better ones.
What my previous clients said about me
“The coaching was more than amazing! Focused, thought provoking and enjoyable. It has given me the clarity and confidence to make a significant business decision which will ensure I achieve my goals. I would have never thought this was possible at the first session! Thank you."
Howard
DIRECTOR - SCHOOL FOOD SOLUTIONS LTD
"David helped me overcome struggles that I have faced in my career in a more proactive and forward facing way, acknowledge and develop strategies for overcoming my imposter syndrome, and to work through some extremely challenging workplace scenarios."
Eve
ASPIRING LEADER, EDUCATION SECTOR
"The coaching was helpful for me, both professionally and personally. I am much more confident and able to address some difficult situations at work, the ones I would try to escape in the past. Timing was definitely right, but so was the match with my David who helped me dig deep to find answers to my own questions."
