WORKING WITH DAVID
David has worked in the coaching space for 25 years, and he loves using narrative coaching with his clients. And yet, to call him a ‘coach’ is just the beginning.
He considers himself an enlightened pragmatist. He works as a whole human with other whole humans in the present moment. He creates moments of meeting through which clients find what they are looking for. This might include drawing on his deep experience working with grief and transitions, his background in spiritual direction, or his Mensa mind to help you innovate.
Working with him is like having your own private retreat.
Clients often find working with him to be transformative, yet often in unexpected ways. He invites clients into what is true, what is emerging, and what is to be done. He creates sacred spaces in which you can explore and experiment what you are searching for.
What threshold are you standing at? He will meet you there.
David works with individuals who are seeking spiritual guidance, deep inner work, and support for major thresholds in their life or work. He works in blocks of time that his clients choose how to best use to serve them and their journey.
What David's practitioners say
Maureen Owen
"David’s work addresses the depth of our humanity. It goes beyond being transactional or simply working toward a goal. It endeavors to get to the core of who we are as human beings and what it means to have a human life."
Rachel Lawlan
"I had no idea how immersive and transformative this experience would be. What I’d been taught about how to coach did not sit well with me - it was all too rational and left-brained - and I wasn’t enjoying coaching or growing my business as a result. Narrative Coach provided an entirely new way of being with and inquiring into other people and their stories. It has made me a less anxious, more effective coach. It is experiential, immersive, and relational experience. I found it really quite magical."
Martin Wale
"Perhaps the biggest difference has been in myself, in coaching and more broadly. I can just be, or just notice things - my whole approach has shifted."
Carolyn Sargentson
"There is something about being able to stand with a client and feel into my own capacity to be trusted, to be leaned on, as I hold space for their process. And I know that when I find that "sweet spot" in me, they can feel it, too. Something moves, and what wants to happen begins to happen. It is as though nothing exists in the moment but me, and them, and the space - the field - between us. This work expands my own ability to stay present and to work with myself as an instrument - that is all I can trust in those moments and all that the moment need."
Dr. Rupinder Kaur
"The focus on the whole and the systemic is not new, but the way David cuts through the noise to be in the moment, the here and the now, is potentially life transforming for me as a coach and if leveraged in our coaching conversations with clients can be ecstatic for the client and soul satisfying for the coach."
