COACHING STYLE
David’s clients describe his style as supportive and action-oriented, combining empathy with challenge. He draws your attention, to patterns in the way you think, speak, and act that enable you to dive deeper into your relationship with a person, issue, or opportunity.

By empathising with his client’s situation, he brings appropriate coaching techniques or conceptual frameworks to bear. He always keeps the core purpose of the coaching work in mind, gently testing how any topic of conversation relates to his client’s ultimate aim.
