Hi, I’m Dave!
As a Coach and Trainer, I work with individuals and teams to grow their confidence, clarity and capacity for meaningful change. I support people to strengthen self-leadership, develop emotionally intelligent habits, and move from friction to flow— in work and in life.
I’m also a director at Future Fixers CIC — a separate (but connected) social enterprise.
‘Being more effective at what you do isn’t about changing who you are – it is about changing how you do things. It starts with really understanding your strengths and using them more often.’

Coaching Packages
Coaching with me is about finding clarity, building momentum, and feeling more in control of your life — without burning out or losing yourself in the process.
Together, we explore what’s really going on beneath the surface — the emotional habits and mental patterns that quietly shape your actions.
Using tools like Functional Fluency and the TIFF profile, I help you step into more effective, energising behaviours, so you can navigate challenges with confidence, connect more meaningfully, and live and work in ways that truly align with who you are.
Resilient Teams, Great Results
I work with staff teams in schools, charities, and businesses to help them do what they do best — with more clarity, confidence, and collaboration.
My training sessions explore what’s working well, where energy is being lost, and how to shift from firefighting to joy and momentum. We’ll explore behaviours, communication patterns and team dynamics, with practical tools for building trust and emotional intelligence.
The result? Teams that move from just about coping to truly thriving — and a ripple effect that reaches far beyond the workplace.
Peer Support for Purposeful People
These monthly online sessions offer a warm, honest space to reflect, regroup, and reset.
Whether you’re running a business, leading a charity, or stepping into a new leadership role, you don’t have to figure it all out alone. These small, supportive groups are designed to help you handle the pressure, reconnect with your purpose, and develop the clarity and confidence to move forward — one real conversation at a time.
If you’re craving connection, insight, and practical support from people who just get it, this might be the space for you.
TIFF© Profiling
TIFF® (Temple Index of Functional Fluency) is a powerful behavioural profile based on the award-winning Functional Fluency model by Dr Susannah Temple.
It shows how you’re using your energy — in ways that work, and ways that don’t. Whether you want to improve relationships, lead with more impact, or simply understand your own patterns better, TIFF gives you practical, personal insight that sticks.
Once you see it, you can start to shift it — with small changes that lead to better decisions, stronger communication, and more sustainable self-leadership.
