David has continually developed himself as a coach during this time, becoming formally qualified as an executive coach and mentor. He now works full time as a coach, working with both individuals and teams. He is passionate about providing business coaching and enabling clients to achieve their goals.

"David's coaching style is supportive, and also challenging and direct at times, which I like. He is prepared to listen to my ideas, and also push me harder and further than I probably would have considered on my own. We always finish each session with clear action plan for me to work on, and he is prepared to get involved between sessions if necessary, to talk things through the progress I am making" Operational Director, Construction Sector
