David helps bring new stories to life

- Notices out loud what is present.
- Speaks plainly about what seems essential.
- Facilitates what is ready to emerge.
- Invites them to step into what is next.
David creates moments of meeting
David works with organizations, groups, and individuals who are serious about releasing old stories about who they are, why the are, and how they are in the world to make room for what we need now. He knows that what adults often need most is a safe space to practice—new stories, new selves, new ways of being.
He offers people the scaffolding they need to learn and grow in the course of real work and real conversations. He allocates his client’s investments of time and money in line with what makes a difference. His clients love his gifts as a muse, thought partner, and guide in creating safe and generative spaces for learning and growth.
