About David
It’s time for me to give back. In my role as a business consultant and mentor I help my clients to enhance performance by being brilliant at the basics. In my role with membership organisations and the voluntary sector I bring my business experience. I have a passion for releasing the often missed profitable potential in individuals, businesses and voluntary organisations by drawing on the extensive knowledge that I have been privileged to acquire over a long career. My role is to now to pass on my knowledge and experience to up and coming senior managers, executives and volunteers. Success is not just about being talented; it’s about building excellent relationships with colleagues, key stakeholders, customers and suppliers.
I mentor executives in the following roles:
•Business Executives and Senior Managers - mentoring delivered in a coaching style, breaking down barriers to success whether real or perceived, bringing new insights and knowledge. Understanding what great leaders and managers do differently.
•Business Development Executives and Managers - how to acquire and work a network, developing key relationships to maximise results.
•Prospective Trustees and Volunteers in the Charity Sector - Corporate Social Responsibility mentoring drawing on a lifetime of volunteering and trustee role.
Other strings to my bow:
•Grievances/Disciplinary Appeals/Investigations - providing an experienced resource when
there is no impartial or senior person in the company available to undertake these most challenging of tasks.
•Remediation and case handling, miss sold financial products.
Specialties: Chairing Associations, Executive Mentor, Executive Training, Business Mentor, Business Development Mentor, Relationship Manager Mentor, Coach, Financial Services Mentor, Networking Mentor, Disciplinary Hearings, Grievance Hearings, Appeal Hearings, Investigations, Non Exec and Trustee in the Third Sector, Mentoring prospective Volunteers and Charity Trustees.
