Coaching
David provides shadow coaching, team coaching and leadership coaching to support the success of pivotal projects and change initiatives.
He has studied coaching for the past seven years, written over twenty publications on coaching, and uses an evidence-informed approach in his work. David draws on his narrative and situational expertise and his years of experience in organizational development and adult development to work holistically with his clients. He has also taught Jungian/shadow work, led rites of passage processes, and served as a grief counselor. He knows change.
He provides a safe container in which clients can drop into the present moment, be witnessed for who they are, and step into their own stories. He also expects and supports clients to take who they are becoming back into their organization to make a difference for people and projects about whom they care. As such, he takes an applied approach to his work and sees coaching as a platform from which many great things can happen. In working deeply with client stories, David is able to move clients to pivotal insights very quickly and create the foundation for their next steps from within their own stories — and its language, metaphors, and elements.
David has been coached and used self-coaching to make big shifts in his identity as a man, husband, father, professional, and business owner. He walks his talk. For example, he used coaching to prepare himself for a two-week quest in the Peruvian Andes that turned his life upside down and around, and he used coaching to double his highest-ever income in the wake of starting over in his practice. What is calling you at this point in your life or business?
He attracts clients who want to work with stories, dreams, metaphors, shadows, and the big questions of Life even as they get more of what they need and want each day. Narrative coaching is not about learning how to more effectively tread water amid rising seas; it is about embodying new ways of being and leading in the world. David coaches people who are up for the heroic journey to meet this challenge.
