Hey, I’m David.

I help career changers navigate transitions, leveraging my own experience and coaching expertise.

What is coaching?

Coaching is focused on enabling you to achieve your goals by devising tailored approaches to obstacles that may have gotten in your way. Everyone’s goals can vary in complexity, timeframe, difficulty, life area, and a multitude of other dimensions.

I help you to realize your goals through a process of unearthing your values, clarifying what a fulfilled life looks like for you, and jointly establishing the steps to take to bring that desired end state into reality. No two journeys are the same, and helping you to achieve your goals and self-actualize are my only agenda items.

My Approach

I follow the Co-Active coaching method, which assumes you, the client, are naturally creative, resourceful, and whole.

  • Creative, meaning that you can manage new or difficult situations with imagination and curiosity

  • Resourceful, meaning that with the right conditions, you can find your own answers and solutions

  • Whole, meaning that you do not need to be fixed and are already - today - everything you need to be

Are you stuck in a career rut, unsure of your next move? Just like you, I spent years climbing the corporate ladder, but found myself longing for more. As a Co-Active Coach, I used coaching to design my own fulfilling career path, and now I want to help you do the same.

A typical coaching engagement

Sample Session (30 mins)

A complimentary, abbreviated coaching session, where we will start with a high-level view of different areas of your life, and discuss how you see the full picture, before narrowing in on one particular area.

Following the Sample Session, you can decide if you would like to continue working with me.

Discovery Session (90 mins)

If we continue working together, we'll have an extended session to cover several different topics:

  • Establishing the primary focus and goals for your coaching program, including unearthing your personal values

  • Co-active commitments to one another, in terms of how we will work together to ensure you get the most out of the coaching

  • Logistics and scheduling

On-going Sessions (45-60 mins)

Typically nine follow-on sessions, for which we will determine jointly how often we meet (weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly).

We will discuss in the Discovery Session how to maximize the use of these sessions, and how we’ll react to something coming up in between sessions.

FAQ

  • Co-Active Coaching is a methodology that David is fully trained in, and is his primary approach.

    The term “Co-Active” reinforces two important elements:

    1. “Co” - we collaborate and co-create the journey through a process of mutual accountability

    2. “Active” - a bias towards taking action in the your life

  • Coaching is the process of focusing on the present and future to drive the lasting changes needed for a client to realize a fulfilled life.

    Therapy tends to be focused on the present and the past, could include examining former events and experiences that may be holding the client back, and may also have a medical diagnosis as an outcome.

    Coaches have an ethical obligation to refer clients to a healthcare professional, who may be a therapist, if behaviors or activities arise in sessions that are outside of their training.

  • Coaching is not instruction - together we might uncover that the creativity your life needs is piano lessons, but you might need to find a piano teacher to learn your scales and chords. Want to work on your presentation skills? Make the shift into a new career field? Great - let’s work together! I don’t have the magic answers – but through the coaching process we can tackle what is standing in your way, and allow you to draw on your existing skills and capabilities to get you to the next step.
