Some ways you can work with me...

Coaching Packages

Coaching gets you from where you are now to where you’d love to be, and is a great way to put you in back control of your outcomes. It’s easy to become hijacked by emotions and habitual behaviours that don’t work well, so I help you step into your huge potential, reach your goals more easily, and live a more fulfilling life, both personally and professionally.

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.’

Staff Training

I support groups of staff in businesses, schools and charities, inspiring people and teams to really understand what they do well, and to get clear on what’s going wrong when things aren’t working out. With staff firing on all cylinders, organisations move from surviving to truly thriving, creating positive impact that resonates well beyond the workplace.

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.’

Business Development Manager
