The challenge in front of you this week
Bring the real thing: the meeting you’re dreading, the decision you keep circling. Work it through before you act.
Executive coaching
Sharpen how you lead,
one week at a time.
Executive coaching for people already leading: guidance on the challenge in front of you, feedback on how you come across in the room, and a plan for developing your team, with David beside you week after week.
Tell David where he can helpWhat I solve for you.
A new challenge every week as a leader, and no one to talk it through with before you act.
Knowing you have more to say in the room than what’s landing.
A team with real talent that you haven’t figured out how to develop.
The best leaders don’t figure it out alone. This is a mentor in your corner every week, for the challenge in front of you, the room you walk into, and the people you’re developing.

The questions
people ask about this program.
01
How is this different from the coaching my company offers?
It isn’t reported back. What we work on is yours: the real meeting, the real person, the real decision, and nobody in the building hears about it.
02
What do we actually work on?
Whatever is in front of you that week. A leader’s problems don’t wait for a curriculum, so the sessions follow the work, and we build your presence and your team as we go.
03
Can you help me with performance reviews for my team?
Yes. We plan each review before you give it, especially the hard ones, and rehearse what you’ll say so the conversation stays honest and constructive.
04
How long does it go?
Four months, one session a week of about an hour, and I’m a text away between them. You can pause or stop any month, though I recommend staying on, since new challenges keep coming and it helps to have someone in your corner.
05
I just became a manager and I’m dreading the hard conversations with my team. Can you help?
Yes. Each week we work through the real challenge in front of you, plan the hard performance reviews before you give them, and rehearse what you’ll say.
06
Does my company find out what we talk about?
No. What you tell me stays with me. It never goes to your employer, your network, or anyone else.
