Learning journey feedback…

“We engaged David to support our leaders on their leadership journey. Very quickly, he established psychological safety with the team and from this, was able to develop a bespoke series of workshops. His content was backed up with evidence, as well as personal experience, which allowed him to quickly captivate, motivate and inspire our leaders. His delivery was authentic, energetic and fast paced, whilst at the same time flexible in addressing the needs of the audience and different personality styles.

Feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with many experiencing tangible results in themselves and with their teams after the first workshop. A number of our leaders have also engaged in coaching, with some finding it so beneficial, they have requested further sessions. We look forward to continuing our relationship with David and would highly recommend him as a modern, forward thinking, inspirational leadership expert and coach!”

Natalie Clare, Chief People Officer

“David is head and shoulders above any previous training / coaching I have experienced! He made the learning environment safe to be open, and his style is extremely interactive and engaging with simple but effective techniques. The impact of the leadership journey and coaching with David has been enormous on both my relationships at work and at home. I am definitely a calmer person now, and don’t get triggered by strong personalities the way I used to: I now respond with a calm and curious approach.... This has helped our relationship enormously and we now work better as a team....

Also, I now encourage my team to give open and honest feedback (which they have embraced), and this has definitely made the team a stronger group. Thank you David."

Daphne East, Head of category & local sourcing

“David is an engaging leadership facilitator and coach, who quickly created a relaxed and open environment with our senior leadership. As a consequence of the leadership journey and coaching, I have definitely seen a good improvement in my presence with the team and overall communication – I now have better understanding of how I can interact better with my team and other key stakeholders.

The content David delivers on cultural transformation and leadership development is real and relevant. As I step into a new Executive leadership role, David’s guidance has proved really valuable for me, and has helped me understand how to better lead and empower my team.”
