David helps individuals bring new stories to life.
David helps people free themselves to live and work with deeper humanity, ease, and purpose. He brings all of who he is and all of what he knows. He is more than a coach.Â
He is a master in getting to the crux of issues in service of what matters most to clients — and using what is present to help people cross the threshold before them.
As he walks alongside people and their stories, he notices out loud what IS present, facilitates what IS ready to emerge, and invites clients to step into what IS next.
David works with teams and organizations.
Clients appreciate his deep understanding of humans, enlightened pragmatism, and ability to get to the essence. David brings his expertise, experience, and wisdom to help organizations to:
- Align their investments in developing people with research and reality to achieve better outcomes.
- Create learning dojos which offer safe spaces in which people can improve their skills using Ovida.
- Integrate feedloops into their culture to help people use the moment they are in as their curriculum.

This pivotal time in history calls us to deepen our maturity, strengthen our core, and increase our wisdom so that we can consciously improvise to address what matters most.
