“Dave adopts his coaching style as and when required, enabling me to identify areas for improvement and equally those that require positive recognition.”
Who I am
I have been in and around the corporate world for over 30 years, with more than 20 years in leadership positions.
I am passionate about the work that I do, and have been fortunate enough to be able to participate in the personal growth and development of colleagues and clients. I have no doubt that being part of the success of others is the highlight of what I now do.
I believe strongly that everyone, no matter what their level or role, has huge reserves of untapped potential, and that its possible to uncover and release these skills with the right approach, and with the right help.
When I discovered business coaching a few years ago, I was already a qualified sports coach, and it seemed obvious that this approach was a great fit for my leadership approach, my training experience , and my enjoyment in seeing growth in the people with whom I work.
My coaching style is driven by curiosity. I love hearing about what is keeping my clients up at night, and working with them to help them identify the best way forward. This typically involves lots of support, particularly when we are talking about situations that involve high levels of emotion, but I will also seek to probe beneath the surface, uncovering the drivers for undesirable circumstances and unwanted behaviours.
I live on the south coast of England, with my wife and three children, and I enjoy sports of all kinds, movies, reading and walking my cocker spaniel, Milo.
I look forward to meeting you.
