About David & Highview Leadership

A scenic mountain landscape with green hills and winding dirt trails under a clear blue sky.

I learned early that leadership isn’t about being the best. It’s about bringing out the best in others.

The name Highview Leadership has multiple meanings. For one, it’s the area where I attended and then worked at a summer camp for ten years, and is a reminder that we are shaped by our experiences throughout life. As a quieter kid who tended to let bigger personalities take the spotlight, camp created opportunities to find another version of myself. I stepped out of my comfort zone, helped younger campers and ended up leading people older than me.

The other reason Highview Leadership speaks to me is the figurative nature of leaders needing a view high above to see the big picture. To see the path. And to know each team member plays a role in getting the group to the end.

I’m excited to support leaders and their teams through this lens.

No matter what form or facet of leadership coaching you need, I’ve got you covered. High performers feeling neglected? Struggling employees needing a new approach to improve? Big organizational changes coming that need navigating? I’ll bring all my years of experience, studying the work itself, coaching leaders, and facilitating leadership development for thousands of participants.

In the grand scheme of things it all comes down to something simple…leadership skills are human skills. The frameworks and processes matter, but leadership ultimately happens between people. That’s the work I love helping people get better at, and I can’t wait to dig in and help!
