Coaching
For professional leaders who are succeeding by every external measure and still feel something isn't right – authority that tips into isolation, approachability that tips into being taken for granted, ambition that's stopped feeling like your own.
Is this for you

Three ways in
For those unsure on the time and cost investment. An hour's intake call to set a direction and decide if this is a fit, followed by 4 hours of coaching delivered in 1–4 blocks of not less than 60 mins over 6 weeks.

Book a call“I was grateful to have a few coaching sessions with Dave over the summer. Dave has a great way of making you think and see things in a more simplistic way. This helped me reframe and think about how I could face into challenges differently.”
Around 12 hours of coaching, in weekly or fortnightly 60–120 minute sessions. Best for working through something layered – a career pivot, a leadership identity shift, recovering from burnout.

Book a call“The after effects of my work with Dave have been profound. Life isn’t always smooth sailing, but having an understanding of how my mind and body actually work and the grounding in the Principles from our sessions, has made every subsequent experience manageable and positively influences how I show up in the world.”
Around 12 hours of coaching: a half- or full-day intensive to create early momentum, followed by spaced sessions over the next few months to embed it properly. The most common path once people understand the difference.

What actually happens
An intake call, no charge – to work out if this is the right fit, both ways.
We choose a format based on what you actually need, not a fixed package.
The sessions themselves – direct conversation, not a workbook.
A short check-in after the work, to see what's actually stuck.
Questions
For organisations
Beyond one-to-one work, I deliver leadership and wellbeing programmes and keynote talks to organisations – including Virgin Money – and have spoken to audiences from boardrooms to 300 soldiers in a gymnasium. If you're looking for something for a team or an event rather than yourself, get in touch directly.
“Dave’s sessions generated so much valuable feedback within Virgin Money, we immediately shared his sessions with the wider Virgin Group.”
“Having met Dave a few years back, he has delivered several virtual sessions for our organisation. Each session has been well received as Dave is engaging, inspiring, interesting and interactive, which in turn made it easier for the attendees to stay focused and learn.”
“By opening up and talking about his own personal challenges, he motivates people not only to be open about their own challenges, but also to actively listen and support others to do the same.”
“I’ve taken a lot away from Dave’s talk in terms of knowing how to speak to someone with mental health problems and how to switch my mindset for the better when presented with challenges.”
Are you a veteran?
Around 60% of what happens at Simplicity in Mind is unpaid work supporting veterans and the military community. If you have served, please don't let cost be a barrier.
Take a look at the Veterans page to see the work I do, or drop me a line to start an informal conversation.
