The Dimensions of Your Leadership

When you and I work together, we begin by grounding your development in The BRAVE Framework. This framework captures the core dimensions that shape your effectiveness in how you decide, communicate, influence, and build the culture around you.

It keeps our work focused, intentional and directly relevant to you and your team’s role.

  • Executive presence and communication mastery

  • Difficult conversations and conflict navigation

  • Emotional discipline and pressure management

  • Delegation, accountability and operational cadence

  • Culture-building & organisational performance

  • Scaling leadership capabilitry as your organisation grows

  • Crisis leadership & scenario thinking and practice

  • Storytelling, influence & narrative strategy

THE BRAVE METHOD

This is a structure that I use to coach and advise senior leaders.

Every client I work with moves through these six stages, adapted to your context, goals and pace.

1. Diagnose

Your journey begins with The Executive Edge™: a full diagnostic and 360 review to map your strengths, blind spots and opportunities.

4. Drive

You apply what you are learning in real time, whether that boardroom discussions, investor meetings or high stake situations.

It is practical, rigorous, draws on several coaching models and tools and is designed to help you grow and have impact in the moments that matter most.

2. Distill

We then clarify the 3–5 high-impact priorities that will define your next phase of leadership. This becomes the foundation of our work together.

5. Deepen

You sharpen long-term capacity through advanced practices such as crisis scenarios, strategic cycles, simulation labs and influence development.

3. Develop

Through our sessions and using tools, frameworks and reflection, you strenghen the capabilities that matter most.

6. Deliver

You convert this growth into sustained performance. Embedding new habits, shaping culture and stepping confidently into your next chapter.

EXECUTIVE PRESENTATIONS

  • 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.

    Managing Director, Investment Bank

  • 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?!'
