  • "My business was at a bit of a cross roads and I was unsure of what to do. I couldn’t think of anyone better than David to discuss this dilemma with. His approach to coaching was fantastic. He asked insightful questions throughout the session. He used a variety of tools and tactics to tease out information, thoughts and feelings – and that helped me to come to a decision that was right for me and my business. I would say he helped guide me to it, but he didn’t. I was in control of every little decision at every step. David simply brought that out of me in a way I never expected. Instead of simply identifying the direction I want the business to go in, we explored blockers and opportunities. Then created an achievable plan of how to get the best outcome, not only in immediate future but over the next 5 years including pivoting in around 2-3 years. David didn’t just help with a business decision. He helped me reconnect with why I’m doing this in the first place. It was one of the most valuable conversations I’ve had in years. If you’re even slightly considering working with him, do it. You won’t regret it."

    Barry, York

  • "I’ve recently established a new business and met with David to bring clarity to some issues I was facing. The coaching session took place in the light, airy and welcoming setting of David’s home. He was friendly and personable from the start and his coaching style was relaxed and informal; without my knowing we had quickly begun to identify the issues in hand and work towards a solution. Although we seemed to be chatting casually, David worked in a disciplined and well planned manner to provide a strategy for me to take forward and use to improve my mindset and, in turn, my business. The time passed quickly yet I left with clear steps with which to take my business forward. To anyone seeking clarity of thought relating to their solo business venture, I could not recommend David highly enough. "

    Mark, Leeds

  • "I worked with David for a total of 12 weeks. In that time there were two MASSIVE changes specifically that I was able to accomplish after working with David that have been absolutely life changing. Today my mission is clearer than ever, I wake up with more drive to work on my business than ever before, I have a new product out and I still implement a strategy that I identified through the coaching process that I am still using that ensures I don’t get overwhelmed again. Working with David saved my business but more importantly, saved my passion."

    Harry, Plymouth

  • "I've really enjoyed working with David and found his approach very methodical, with an eye for detail and exceptional listening skills. David has supported me to take brave steps in my career through powerful and enlightening conversations. I would recommend his services unreservedly!"

    Matthew, Nottingham

  • "I've had the pleasure of being coached by David a number of times and would recommend him wholeheartedly. He listens deeply, is extremely empathetic and made me feel seen and understood. David asks powerful questions that have led me to gain clarity, perspective and feel more confident in my ability to move forward."

    Katrina, Surrey

  • "I would warmly recommend David’s career coaching for anyone wanting to better navigate their career, transition to a new job or find their purpose. David is an excellent coach, who actively listens with a genuine interest and he has a remarkable ability to co-create a trusting atmosphere with the coachee that makes you feel at ease. Furthermore, David is exceptionel at using metaphors in conversations together with thought-provoking open questions that have helped me broaden my thinking and perspectives."

    Christian, Copenhagen

  • "David is brilliant! He’s supported me as my coach on different occasions and always helped me hit the mark and move forward. He’s a gentle soul, solid and with a genuine interest in supporting and empowering others. He’s also really good at telling stories! That makes him an engaging and inspiring thinking partner. I would highly recommend David as a Coach and business partner."

    Beatrice, Milan

  • "Having had the pleasure of being interviewed by David as a fellow coach, I came away feeling like I'd had such an authentic conversation with someone that cares greatly about people, the power of life experiences and of how we learn from them. If you're looking for someone to facilitate quality conversations or for coaching, I can't recommend David highly enough."

    Louise, Cambridgeshire

  • "David is a gifted coach and storyteller who made me feel at ease right away. His insightful questions and guidance helped me articulate my journey in ways I hadn’t before. David's passion for helping others share their stories and unlock their potential is evident in every conversation. I highly recommend working with him for anyone looking to connect more deeply with their own narrative. "

    Aimee, Windsor

  • David is a fantastic coach! He is personable, interested and delves deeply into the why and how of the chosen topic, offering searching questions to the thinker to help them gain useful, and potentially life changing, insights. He is driven by a genuine interest in people and is deeply motivated to help them with their thinking as he has done so himself, working with his own coaches. He listens intently and reflects back to the thinker what he has just heard, whilst making powerful observations and offering his own reflections throughout the session. He is a joy to work with and I would not hesitate to recommend David as a friendly and challenging coach who will really immerse himself into helping the listener make sense of their thoughts and circumstances.
