I’m David. I’m in the business of helping leaders develop high-performance working relationships. I do this primarily through leadership coaching, team/group facilitation and running broader organisation development programmes such as Action Learning.
Risk in relationships to an organisation’s resilience and effectiveness is not always given the attention it deserves alongside other aspects of business planning and delivery. Without energy and effort in this area relationships can drift and serious consequences emerge – such as a lack of engagement, inflexibility in the face of change and significant financial costs due to programme failures.
Where relationships are stuck and create business risks, I can help recover the situation. Of course, it’s better that we develop talented leaders who are skilled in relationship management and avoid these risks. My experience, training and research in organisation development and psychology has given me a unique perspective and ability to achieve this. I use advanced coaching and facilitation methods to develop emotional intelligence in leaders and foster collaborative working – helping leaders and their teams create organisations that collaborate for results.
Clients I have worked with include: Prudential, Waitrose and the John Lewis Partnership, PriceWaterhouse Coopers, Novell Corporation, The Vitec Group, Smiths Detection, the RSPB, the UK Civil Service and several of its agencies.
