Hey, I’m David.

I'm a Coach that empowers individuals to design and live their most fulfilling lives, bridging the gap between their present and desired futures.

What is coaching?

Coaching is focused on enabling you to achieve your goals by devising tailored approaches to obstacles that may have gotten in your way. Everyone’s goals can vary in complexity, timeframe, difficulty, life area, and a multitude of other dimensions.

I help you to realize your goals through a process of unearthing your values, clarifying what a fulfilled life looks like for you, and jointly establishing the steps to take to bring that desired end state into reality. No two journeys are the same, and helping you to achieve your goals and self-actualize are my only agenda items.

My Approach

I follow the Co-Active coaching method, which assumes you, the client, are naturally creative, resourceful, and whole.

  • Creative, meaning that you can manage new or difficult situations with imagination and curiosity

  • Resourceful, meaning that with the right conditions, you can find your own answers and solutions

  • Whole, meaning that you do not need to be fixed and are already - today - everything you need to be

Are you stuck in a rut, unsure of your next move? Just like you, I spent years climbing the corporate ladder, but found myself longing for more. As a Co-Active Coach, I used coaching to design my own fulfilling life and career path, and now I want to help you do the same.

Feeling the itch for a change? Schedule a free consultation with me today to discover how coaching can:

  1. Uncover your hidden talents and passions

  2. Craft a clear vision for your future

  3. Develop a personalized roadmap to get you there

Don't stay stuck. Take charge of your life.

A typical coaching engagement

Sample Session (30 mins)

A complimentary, abbreviated coaching session, where we will start with a high-level view of different areas of your life, and discuss how you see the full picture, before narrowing in on one particular area.

Following the Sample Session, you can decide if you would like to continue working with me.

Discovery Session (90 mins)

In our first session together, we align on how we will work together to make sure you get the most out of your coaching engagement. We will co-design:

  • The primary focus and goals for your coaching program

  • What needs to have happened by the end of our working relationship

  • Commitments to one another in terms of how to structure our time, how to show up, and how to ensure accountability

  • Logistics and scheduling

On-going Sessions (60 mins)

Where the work gets done! In our regular sessions, you set the agenda of what you need coaching on. Together we explore the topic by identifying its importance, naming how it fits into the bigger picture, and exploring different possibilities. Every session ends with an action item and a plan for you to work on before our next session.

We will discuss what makes in terms of how often we meet. For many clients, this starts weekly and may shift to bi-weekly or monthly over time.

Client Testimonials

I keep my client’s confidentiality by not disclosing the names of who I work with, but these are a sampling of real quotes from individuals I have worked with.

Working with David has transformed my career trajectory. His thoughtful, steady, and supportive coaching guided me through a period of profound uncertainty and confusion about my direction. He introduced visual frameworks and strategic guidance that helped me chart a clear path forward and, more importantly, helped me find the confidence to actually take action on it.

I wholeheartedly recommend David to anyone navigating career transitions or feeling uncertain about their next professional steps. You cannot go wrong with him.

I was new to coaching and wasn’t quite sure what I’d get out of it, but decided to give it a shot and I’m glad I did! My time working with David was very rewarding - he helped me build a better understanding into how happy I was across aspects of my life, and helped challenge me to take action on things I was putting off. I have newfound confidence to articulate the meaning behind my work and career, and I have frameworks to pull from as I step into my future.

I’d recommend David as a coach to anyone, particularly for others like me who are so career-focused that they feel they’re letting other parts of life slip by.

David helped me recognize how I was sabotaging myself and empowered me to shift my focus toward my health and well-being.

Through his coaching, I've not only gained clarity and motivation but also achieved a personal milestone of losing 20 pounds. Truly life-changing!

FAQ

  • Co-Active Coaching is a methodology that David is fully trained in, and is his primary approach.

    The term “Co-Active” reinforces two important elements:

    1. “Co” - we collaborate and co-create the journey through a process of mutual accountability

    2. “Active” - a bias towards taking action in the your life

  • Coaching is the process of focusing on the present and future to drive the lasting changes needed for a client to realize a fulfilled life.

    Therapy tends to be focused on the present and the past, could include examining former events and experiences that may be holding the client back, and may also have a medical diagnosis as an outcome.

    Coaches have an ethical obligation to refer clients to a healthcare professional, who may be a therapist, if behaviors or activities arise in sessions that are outside of their training.

  • Coaching is not instruction - together we might uncover that the creativity your life needs is piano lessons, but you might need to find a piano teacher to learn your scales and chords. Want to work on your presentation skills? Make the shift into a new career field? Great - let’s work together! I don’t have the magic answers – but through the coaching process we can tackle what is standing in your way, and allow you to draw on your existing skills and capabilities to get you to the next step.
