Life Coaching

Description

The Imperfect Life Coach - Real Life. Real Change.

You don’t need a perfect life. You just need a clear one with structure, strategy, and someone in your corner who helps you turn uncertainty into results.

What I Do

I help professionals and entrepreneurs get unstuck, regain their confidence, and perform at their highest level in business, career, and life.

My clients come to me feeling tired, overwhelmed, or stagnant. Within weeks, they gain clarity, discipline, focus, and direction. They build stronger relationships, pitch with confidence, deliver talks with impact, lead with purpose, and make decisions without second-guessing themselves.

They stop drifting and start moving with intent.

Why It Works

Coaching with me isn’t motivational fluff. It’s a structured transformation process built around your reality.

You’ll get:

Online or telephone coaching tailored to your goals

Session preparation so every session delivers value

WhatsApp support between sessions for momentum and accountability

Coaching strategies and mindset frameworks you can use daily

Book recommendations that align with your personal growth

Written session summaries so you track progress and breakthroughs

Free Career & Entrepreneur workbooks designed for clarity and action

This combination of coaching, strategy, and structure creates measurable progress and lasting results.

What My Clients Achieved This Month

In October alone, my clients:

Regained energy and motivation after burnout

Strengthened relationships and boundaries

Delivered public talks and accepted awards

Pitched successfully to investors

Expanded business premises and bought new stock

Reached new audiences and converted them into paying clients

Built resilient routines, better health, and renewed self-belief

These wins didn’t come from luck; they came from planning, mindset shifts, and consistent accountability.

They overcame social anxiety, decision paralysis, strategy overwhelm, and the inner voice that says, “you’re not ready yet.”

Who I Work With

I coach ambitious, committed individuals who are ready to take responsibility for their growth.

You might be:

A professional or entrepreneur navigating change or scaling up

A leader looking to improve presence, communication, and wellbeing

Someone who’s lost direction but wants to rebuild with purpose

Whatever your situation, we’ll design a coaching plan that gets you clear, focused, and performing at your best.

Areas Clients Often Focus On

Career: Mapping your next move, creating a strategic 1–5–10 year plan, interview preparation, and crafting your professional story.

Business: Ideal client clarity, pricing and positioning, performance systems, and the 5Cs – care, credibility, contacts, competition, cash.

Mindset: Confidence, decision-making, resilience, and overcoming limiting beliefs.
Communication: Public speaking, presentations, and interview mastery, informed by my background liaising with the United Nations and World Health Organization.

Leadership & Relationships: Emotional regulation, boundaries, conflict resolution, and authentic communication.

Productivity & Balance: Systems for time management, focus, and wellbeing at work and home.

My Background

I’m David, a fully qualified Transformational Life Coach with 15+ years of coaching leaders, executives, and entrepreneurs.

I’m Vice-Chair of RoadPeace, a national charity supporting crash victims, and elected Head of Communications for the European Federation of Road Traffic Victims (FEVR), working with the UN and WHO on international wellbeing and road safety initiatives.

Before coaching full-time, I spent two decades in property leadership, managing large teams across London, recruiting and training high-performing individuals, and leading business development strategies.

I’ve delivered signature talks on leadership, wellbeing, and performance to senior executives, CEOs, and managers, helping them turn pressure into purpose.

Why I Do This

After surviving two life-changing road crashes, I rebuilt from the ground up, physically, emotionally, and professionally. That journey taught me resilience, empathy, and the power of a structured mindset.

Today, my mission is to help others do the same: rebuild, refocus, and rise. Coaching is the most rewarding work I’ve ever done, because it’s not about perfection. It’s about progress, peace, and purpose.

When I first reached out to David, I was in a dark place, mentally and emotionally. I couldn’t see a way forward, and everything felt overwhelming. But David met me with compassion, clarity, and unwavering support. He helped me shift my mindset and begin to see the possibilities that lay ahead. Through our work together, he shined a light on the steps I needed to take, helped me understand how to communicate my needs more effectively, and guided me toward unlocking my full potential, not just for myself, but most importantly, for my kids. It hasn’t all been smooth sailing. I still have my down days, and there’s a lot more work to be done. But the difference now is that I believe I can do it. David has helped me rebuild the confidence I had lost, and that belief in myself is something I’ll carry forward every day. His coaching has been truly transformative. I’m more motivated, focused, and hopeful than I’ve been in a long time. I’m incredibly grateful for his guidance and would recommend him to anyone looking to make meaningful changes in their life.

From the very first interaction I knew David was someone I wanted to have as my coach. In our first call he gave me a lot of time, understanding in depth what I am looking for, asking meaningful questions and making sure we were both a right fit. There was no pressure, just curiosity and someone I could tell genuinely cares about his clients. We have been working together now for over 3 months and the impact he has had on my personal and professional life has already provided a return my investment in coaching and more. Not only is he a coach, he's a friend. They say you become who you spend time with and having someone like David in your life will bring out so much positive change in you. He is willing to follow the coaching plan but sometimes if you need a session where you need to clear your head / aren't in the best place, he happily allows you to do that but also supports you in getting back to a good place. He has helped me clear the past, the present and is helping me build into the future with my business and my personal life. David sends a comprehensive summary of every session, he sets me tasks to complete between sessions to make sure i'm actually embodying the change I seek and also holding me accountable (which I really need sometimes!) He will be your number 1 fan and cares a lot about you not just as a client but as a friend and a person. I couldn't recommend him enough. If you have ever hesitated to invest in coaching (I certainly did) then let me tell you it will be worth every penny. If you go in with a desire to grow, willing to follow his mentorship and listen to the vast knowledge he has to offer, you will get a lot out of having him in your life.

I had numerous discussions with David during a period when I was going through one of the most challenging phases of my life. His attentive ear and thoughtful guidance made a significant impact. David not only addressed the specific issues I initially approached him with but also steered me towards a path of profound personal growth. I am genuinely grateful for his support. He embodies the qualities of a friend, a parent, and a coach all rolled into one, and I couldn't have asked for a better guide during that difficult time.
