No result = no fee

I believe that there is the possibility of working successfully with you wherever you are stuck. However, I benefit from a unique combination of skills that give rise to these offerings:

Individual coaching

Coaching is about change: making or managing a change in people.

I know something is wrongI don't know what
I know what is wrongI don't know what to do
I know I don't get the results I wantI don't know why
I know what I wantI don't know how to get there
I know that this is a big opportunityI don't know what to do now

If you know you’re stuck
...and you know you can’t change alone
...then you’re ready for coaching


Business coaching

Coaching a leader in a business environment requires an understanding of both - coach the leader, coach the business

What is it that needs to change in you in order for your business to succeed?

What is it that needs to change in the business in order for it to serve your evolving needs?

Dave combines insights from consulting, coaching, and his own management career into a holistic approach that enables you to grapple with individual and business challenges as one beast. This can be from embedding management accounts to increasing your interpersonal impact.

Like most issues in life business issues touch on many areas simultaneously. This is why leader-business coaching works, because it works on these many areas simultaneously. If you have issues in your business like poor-profitability, conflict, low staff motivation, manager underperformance, lack of sales success, employee-management communication problems, conflict or stress issues, you can’t fix them at a single stroke: you and your business need a coach.

Sales coaching

If you sell based upon forming relationship with potential clients, then sales coaching can increase your impact.

Get more in per pound of effort expended. Prioritise, focus, remove blockers, stay on track, deliver results.

By combining work on your personal impact, style and communication with technical sales support tools, I can help you:

  • sell more
  • increase the efficiency of your sales
  • understand your customers needs and help you deliver to them
  • identify opportunities
  • smooth out the boom and bust of sales and delivery cycles


Graduate career coaching

Your first job out of university could set you up for life. It also one of the most competitive job markets you will ever encounter.

How do you face this when you may have little or no experience of the job-market at this level? How do you afford professional career coaching whilst you’re still as student?

Dave has comprehensive experience of graduate recruitment from success in three grad recruitment schemes himself, to running graduate induction and training and now an employer and manager of graduates.

We work together on the whole package: your career and life goals, how to get a job that supports these goals, how to approach employers, CVs, impact in interviews, negotiating, and starting the job successfully.

We agree a fixed fee in advance, and you pay when you have the job.

Career coaching

What do people know about you, that you don’t know about yourself? - career coaching will help you to see yourself how employers do - and change this for the better.

From deciding what to do with you life, job hunting, or making a greater success of where you are, Dave can help you manage the deep personal transition, and help you with the practicalities.

Dave will work with you on all the basics: approaching employers, employer search, CVs, letters, personal impact, interviews, negotiation, making a successful start

Staying can be as powerful as moving on. We can work on: conflict resolution, re-starting difficult relationships, re-building trust, tools and behaviours that prevent issues recurring.

Start-up coaching

Starting up? Find that everyone gives you a lot of advice?

Cut-through it all with a business thinking partner that can support you and your business, from the emotional upheaval to choosing whether to register for VAT.

Nothing challenges you like starting a business – you’ll want all the support you can get


Remember: if you do what you always did, you’ll always get what you always got

If that isn’t what you want any more, then get in touch
