The Dimensions of Senior Leadership

The BRAVE Framework
A clear, practical structure for modern executive leadership.

The work of leadership is demanding. Not because of the tasks, but because of the expectations, decisions and impact placed on you.
The BRAVE Framework offers a grounded, evidence-informed model of the key domains senior leaders must master to be effective, trusted and future-ready.

This framework forms the backbone of all coaching and advisory engagements, adapted to your role, your context, and your responsibilities.

  • Strategic decision-making under uncertainty

  • Leading from values and purpose

  • Executive presence and presentation mastery

  • Difficult conversations and conflict navigation

  • Emotional regulation & stress resilience

  • Delegation, accountability and operational cadence

  • Board, investor & stakeholder alignment

  • Culture-building & organisational performance

  • Scaling leadership capability

  • Crisis leadership & scenario thinking and practice

  • Storytelling, influence & narrative strategy

  • Succession, transition and legacy planning

Explore the Executive Edge

  • David helped navigate one of my most challenging periods. He’s easy to confide in and gets what makes humans, including humans like me tick. It took time to find someone who had the experience and credibility that I needed. He unlocked deep self reflection that constructively moved me forward. I’m excited to keep coming back to David as I grow using his knowledge.

    Simeon, CEO Tech Co.

  • Working with David as my executive coach was transformative. During one of the most challenging periods of my career, his guidance provided clarity, focus, and resilience. David’s ability to listen deeply, ask the right questions, and offer practical strategies empowered me to lead with confidence and navigate complex decisions as I prepared to exit the business.

    CEO, Housing Association

  • David helped me navigate complex cultural shifts within the firm during a pivotal time in my leadership. His insights, strategic approach, and unwavering support enabled me to make clear, confident decisions while managing change effectively. I highly recommend David to any senior leader facing change or transition.

    Managing Partner, Law Firm

  • My coaching completely transformed how I approach storytelling as a leader. It helped me craft narratives that not only resonated with my team and stakeholders but also inspired action and alignment around our vision. David's ability to break down the art of storytelling into practical strategies made it easy to apply in presentations, pitches, and critical conversations. Working with him gave me the confidence to communicate complex ideas with clarity and impact.

  • Not only is David witty, smart and inspiring, but his perspective on situations is also refreshing. My coaching with him over the years has helped me see things from multiple perspectives and encouraged me to ask the bigger questions and dig deep to find a broader meaning. Our time spent together is always fun and engaging and I know I can call on him whenever I need him for some sound advice.New List Item

    CEO, Digital Marketing Company

  • David has run inclusive leadership sessions for our C-Suite and Directors at MVF and each session has been thought-provoking, challenging for all, a relief for some who have spoken out for the first time and definitely uncomfortable for some too!! One of the very few people who can deliver hard truths whilst smiling in your face and even making you laugh, but leaving you wondering 'what just happened?!'
