Hi, I’m David
I’m a leadership coach and facilitator who believes leadership skills are human skills. I’ve spent my career helping individuals and teams improve relationships, engagement, productivity, and effectiveness at work. The science of leadership (Neuroleadership) is a growing field of study that I bring to the table when it fits our work together.
My approach is a blend of leadership advisor, coach, and the kind of supportive partner who will listen, ask questions, cheer you on, and hold you accountable. I’ll bring models, frameworks, and best practices when they’re useful, but I also believe you often have the answers. My job is to help you uncover them and put them into action.
I’ve coached leaders, led teams myself, and facilitated leadership development for thousands of participants. Through all of it, I’ve seen how focusing on the human skills behind trust, change, decision-making, and accountability can make both leaders and the people around them better.
Get Better at the Human Side of Leadership
I blend the best of a leadership advisor and coach. Sometimes you need a model, framework, or best practice. Other times, you need someone to listen, ask the right questions, and help you find your own answer. I often joke to clients that I care about them, but I care more about the people they lead or interact with!
Whether I’m working with one person or an entire team, we’ll turn what you learn into something you can actually use. The goal isn’t a great conversation or training you forget a few months later. It’s greater self-awareness, new behaviors, and meaningful changes that make you and the people around you better.
Understand your leadership strengths
Build trust across your team
Meet your people where they are
Turn insight into new behaviors
Create positive change that lasts
