I help growth-driven leaders regulate their nervous system, process overload, and regain self-trust, without resorting to burnout, therapy, or spiritual bypass. This is leadership built from the inside out.

I start work at 4am. I coach leaders after lunch.

That rhythm was born in logistics, behind the wheel, learning how pressure moves through people.

Before I moved, I tried to launch a business. Then COVID hit. I shelved the plan in 2023. A friend invited me into a room full of coaches. It clicked. I had already mapped a path for myself. I started helping others.

Why business owners and leaders
Because I have seen toxic culture up close. In my current role and past roles, the pattern is the same. Pressure with no presence. Targets with no trust. There is a better way.

What I built to change it
The Expansive Questionnaires. A simple intake that meets people where they are and gives them a plan they can act on today.

What clients get
- Precise trust stage diagnosis so we stop guessing.
- A personalised 14-day action plan, not theory.
- Lower decision friction by tying choices to values.
- Weekly movement is measured with a simple trust score.
- Sharper sessions because we work on the true blocker.
- Clean next steps that link into the right programme or resource.

What businesses see
Cleaner segmentation. Smarter nurture. Higher show-up. Faster, values-aligned decisions.

I am still working a 40-hour week, up at 3am, on the road by 4am, home by early afternoon. I am building leadership that is heart-centred and operationally sound. One conversation at a time.

If you want me to map your trust stages to your client journey, send me a message and write “trust map”. I will reply with a simple two-week pilot you can run now.

Most entrepreneurs don’t fail because they run out of ideas.

They stall because the pressure builds, the decisions get heavier, and leadership loses alignment.
That’s the hidden side of entrepreneurship nobody prepares you for.

My work exists to close that gap.

I help leaders and entrepreneurs build the frameworks they can actually live in, not just operate.
Frameworks that restore self-trust, make clarity possible under pressure, and reconnect you with the reason you started in the first place.

Here’s what that looks like in real life:
“Dave has brought my spirits up and helped me understand my self-worth when I was struggling to see a reason to move forward.”

Because it’s not the lack of ideas that holds you back, it’s the unspoken weight of pressure, fatigue, and misaligned leadership.

And that’s exactly what I help you navigate.

👉 If you’re ready to lead differently in 2026, let’s start the conversation.

Part 1: The Macro View: Where Vision Meets Global RealityWhen an organisation steps into the arena of change, its leaders are faced with a paradox. On one hand, they must act decisively in the here and now. On the other hand, they must orient those actions toward a future that is not yet visible to

Statement

Never be cheap about investing in your capacity to lead and live well.

Leaders will spend hundreds keeping the business running, taking the team out, or upgrading tech, but hesitate to invest the same in their own clarity, skills, or wellbeing.

The ROI on your ability to make decisions under pressure, navigate conflict, regulate your state, and build trust will always outperform any material gain.

The faster you expand your capacity, the faster everything else grows with you.

Cheap leadership habits = expensive cultural and personal costs.
