David helps individuals bring new stories to life.

David helps people free themselves to live and work with deeper humanity, ease, and purpose. He is more than a coach. He deeply notices people's stories as they are held and told — and works with the narrative material in support of what they need most right now.

He holds sacred spaces for people so they can get to the crux of their issue in sessions and make real change in real time in service of what matters most. He is a master of using what is present to help people cross the threshold before them.

As he walks alongside people, he:

  • Notices out loud what IS present.
  • Speaks plainly about what IS essential.
  • Facilitates what IS ready to emerge.
  • Invites them to step into what IS next.

David works with teams and organizations.

David brings his expertise, experience, and wisdom to help organizations do one of three things:

  1. Align their investments in developing people with research and reality to achieve better individual and collective outcomes.
  2. Create developmental dojos which offer safe spaces for people to practice skills and use Ovida to deepen their maturity and mastery.
  3. Integrate feedloops into their life and work to enable people to learn and grow using the moment they are in as their curriculum.

Clients appreciate his deep understanding of and care for humans, enlightened pragmatism, and ability to get to the essence of issues.
