Why Coaching?
Do you ever get that nagging sense that there's something you came here to achieve, and you haven't done it yet?
Or perhaps you feel you have an unrealised inner quality - a creative talent, or a depth of sensitivity, or a hidden capacity for leadership - but have no idea how to bring it to life?
Or perhaps you're simply feeling stuck - in a situation that makes you feel diminished and grey - and you really can't see how your life will ever change?
If you find yourself saying "yes" to any of these questions, you can benefit from life coaching.
It may involve a spectacular landmark such as writing a book, sailing across an ocean, or becoming an international performer. It may be about displaying courageous leadership or originality. Or it may be about having the courage to let go of conventional ambitions to embrace greater calmness and a simpler, more centred life.
Whatever this impulse is - call it ambition, yearning, a sense of vocation, or simply a desire for change in your life - it starts with you. Coaching can help you focus right in on what's important for you, and create the shift you want to achieve.
“Dave’s coaching sessions with me have been an inspiration. His style is calm but structured, positive and motivational. Dave helped me clarify what is important in making a stretching career and life choice.”
What is Coaching?
At its core, coaching is simply a dialogue between two people. But it’s a specially constructed dialogue in which you are welcomed into a secure and safe space to give you the freedom to explore and discuss whatever is really important to you. Crucially, it’s a dialogue which aims to create meaningful and lasting change in your professional or personal life (or frequently in both!).
In coaching you set the agenda, you choose what you want to focus on and you set the boundaries around what may or may not be discussed. I am there to listen, to ask you powerful questions and to guide the dialogue in a way which enables you to follow the golden thread.
A Closer Look...
Coaching gives you the all-too-rare opportunity to reflect upon and become more conscious of your present circumstances, and the choices open to you.
- What are your deep values and goals?
- What is it you want to change in your life?
- What steps will you take to make these changes happen?
Whilst coaching may involve a degree of introspection in the search for new insights, there’s a very practical emphasis on achieving results, on a tangible outcome, a personal shift.
“I cannot emphasise enough just what a huge benefit (Dave’s) coaching has been. It is no exaggeration to state that the coaching was a catalyst for a major career change, leading to new and exciting challenges which have been made all the more achievable through the values and confidence that the coaching taps into.”
What Can Coaching Do For You?
Life coaching can bring lasting change in your life in any number of meaningful ways:
- Exploring, and making better use of, your personal strengths and resources
- Making life-changing decisions
- Finding a more balanced, integrated and fulfilling approach to life
- Improving relationships
- Improving motivation and job satisfaction
- Creating more presence in the moment
Coaching doesn’t involve the use of artificial substances, unconscious persuasion or magic formulae. It’s a down-to-earth process based fundamentally on dialogue. Yet this simple process frequently has a life-changing impact.
Once you find the source of your personal passion and determination, there’s really no limit to what you can achieve!

I give my warmest recommendations for Dave’s coaching.”
