A trusted thinking partner.

At times my role is to act as a sounding board—to help clients strategize. 

Clients welcome the chance to have a conversation with a former executive whose only agenda is to support them. With my experience in leadership, governance and organizational culture, the result is almost always thought-provoking and productive.

"Is hiring a coach beneficial to your success? Unquestionably. And Dave is one of the best. 

Dave has been instrumental in helping our leadership team grow. His focus on best practices, and ability to identify specific and measurable activities needed to broaden each individual and help them understand their impediments to success, is beyond reproach."
​
— Chris Page, President & CEO, Laurus Investment Council

Other times the engagement is more about individual transformation.
​
​Leaders can often see that something needs to change; that they need to do something differently but are at a loss as to what, and equally important, how.

I help clients:
​

• Understand their internal framework—foundational mindsets and assumptions they hold
• ​Determine if this framework is working for them or are there meaningful blind spots
• Adapt their framework, which allows them to make sense of their world in a more functional way—resulting in more effective leadership action

​
This is the ‘inner game’ of leadership, to borrow an expression from Timothy Gallwey, the author of The Inner Game of Golf.  Inner game work is typically the ‘missing ingredient’ in bringing about meaningful, sustainable change.
