The Coaching Sprint
Four hours of focused coaching over six weeks — a limited time and cost investment to test coaching out or gain quick clarity on a defined issue.
You've done everything right. So why does it still feel like something's missing?
One-to-one coaching for professional leaders who are succeeding on paper and running on empty underneath. Insight-led, not framework-heavy – built on how thinking actually shapes experience, not another leadership model to add – a simpler way to navigate life.
If any of these sound familiar...
- You're the person everyone brings problems to – and you've got no one to take yours to
- Being approachable and being taken seriously feel like they're pulling in opposite directions
- You look like you've made it. Some days you don't believe it yourself
- The next promotion won't fix what's actually wrong

The Approach
Insight-led, not framework-led
Most leadership coaching hands you another model to apply under pressure. This works differently: it starts from how your thinking shapes what you experience in the moment – not techniques to remember, but a shift in understanding that changes decisions, relationships and energy without you having to try harder.
My diverse career and passion for helping others is grounded in 17 years of making decisions that mattered under real pressure.
Ways to work together
Three ways in
The Three-Month Journey
Around 12 hours together, weekly or fortnightly. For working through something that took years to build.
Hybrid
Around 12 hours together, starting with a half- or full-day intensive to create early momentum, followed by spaced sessions to embed it properly.
In their words
“As a result I feel like I know myself far better and I am better equipped to deal with what life brings to me. The concepts I have learnt are so very simple that I have started sharing them with my own personal network.”
“His approach and advice were both open, encouraging and helped dismantle the fear I had somehow built up around the role and my ability to help and contribute. The ability to speak simply, honestly and with integrity and authenticity are rare and Dave has these in spades.”
“The lessons I have learned and the perspective I have gained have positively impacted every aspect of my personal and professional life. I do not say this lightly nor from a perspective of self-denial; but I am a better, more capable, balanced, and happier person for it.”
“If you’re ever the sort of person who lies awake thinking about things that you can’t influence at 3am, then I recommend listening to Dave’s talks.”
Why this work exists
Paid coaching funds something bigger
Around 60% of my time goes to veterans and their families – one-to-one mentoring, referrals, trustee work – at no cost to them. This isn't a side project. It's the reason Simplicity in Mind exists, funded directly by the leaders and organisations who pay for coaching and workshops.
