What I offer

Coaching Packages

Personal Effectiveness Coaching is a great way to help you take back control of your busy life. Together we will explore how, by focusing on your strengths, you can move yourself from where you are now to where you want to be. I coach both individuals and groups.

Work with me

‘Coaching sessions with David have proved very successful in supporting not only my mental health and wellbeing, but also my ability to operate more effectively at work.’

Matthew Towe,

Headteacher

‘David is a warm, supportive coach who is passionate about his work. I feel more confident and empowered about my capabilities, can visualise an exciting future and know I will get there.’

Harriet Wills,

Senior Communications Manager

Staff Training

I work with groups of staff from a variety of organisations, developing the individuals so they are able to get the best out of themselves and others. As a result, teams work more effectively, and the organisation thrives, creating positive impact for all.

Work with me
‘David establishes an excellent rapport with those attending his training. Sessions are fun and thought-provoking, and he creates an extremely vibrant atmosphere in a very positive learning environment. I am 100% convinced that anyone attending one of David’s sessions will leave full of enthusiasm and positivity.’

Richard Foster,

Community Learning and Skills Manager

‘My staff are still buzzing with ideas David provoked and many are keen to develop these further. I was particularly impressed with how David took the time to get to know our school and our particular challenges beforehand, enabling him to really tailor his content to our needs.’

Andrea Walker,

Headteacher

Peer Support Group Coaching

I offer Peer Support Group Coaching through Future Fixers CIC, supporting individual business owners and staff from other organisations. Peer Support is for you if you would love to invest in your personal growth and development as part of a supportive group. Feedback shows that Peer Support participants no longer feel so isolated and gain more confidence to deal with the challenges they face.

Work with me

‘I really appreciate that I have ‘protected’ time to learn, think and reflect, not just on work but on personal things as well. I know what I am learning now will be useful for every part of life and I am grateful for the support.’

Nicky Woods,

Volunteer Services Manager, Carer Support South Lakes

‘The Peer Support sessions with Dave have provided me with a safe space where work challenges can be discussed. This learning has been essential to the transition to my new role. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a different approach.’

Diana Vlad,

Chief Executive Officer, Carlisle Key

TIFF© Profiling

TIFF is an award winning tool created by Dr Susannah Temple. It gives individuals, teams and organisations insight into how effectively energy is being used in the sense that behaviour is beneficial to self and others and that goals that truly matter are being achieved. If relationships need to improve, you will have the tools to find the causes, overcome obstacles within yourself and re-establish fluent communication and collaboration.

Work with me
‘TIFF has helped me to build some personal capacity to better manage my role, and also myself. It really did capture my strengths and weaknesses and was a great base to build from. I found the whole process transformational.’

Matt Beresford,

Headteacher

‘Through using TIFF, Dave has helped me to gain some really useful insights into my own strengths that I have been able to apply to work, new business and personal situations.’

Amanda Harrison,

Business Development Manager
