David works to create a ‘safe to be challenged’ mindset with leaders and teams to be able to recognize and revise out-dated beliefs, limiting assumptions and behavior patterns that undermine their success.  David’s passion is enabling leaders to ‘lead differently’, to have the critical discussions they’ve been unwilling or unable to have previously, as more agile leaders for today’s quickly evolving business climate and workforce.
