Even with
the best of intentions, many organizations are unable to navigate the terrain of
complex relationships, competing points of view, engrained behavioral patterns
and core value differences present in their environments. These struggles prevent the skillful
means, strategic clarity, aligned passion and right action that is naturally
present but oftentimes hidden to appear prominently. As a consultant, facilitator and
coach, David’s passion and expertise is to support the emergence of the
brilliance and power that is available to every organization, group and
individual.
After 25
years of effectively leading organizations including
the
Financial Planning Association,
End-of-Life Choices,
the
Institute of Certified Financial Planners,
the
Colorado
and
Denver Bar Associations,
and
Continuing Legal Education
in Colorado,
David became a full-time consultant in 2004.
David’s consulting engagements with individuals and organizations
utilizes an array of exceptional and proven models, protocols, assessment maps
and practices that he has learned and applied through his experience as a CEO
and his lifelong study of leadership development, group dynamics, personal
growth and organizational excellence. The result is a client engagement that is
always customized to the unique set of opportunities and circumstances of the
client.
As a
consultant, David collaborates with an organization’s leaders to clarify and
implement the organization’s core ideology, develop the most appropriate
strategies aligned with the core ideology that include success measures, and
recommend systems that support a positive culture. Through his ability to assess the
values and tendencies of an organization and its leaders, David is able to
integrate the core ideology and strategic imperatives with the skills of people
which results in high productivity and high satisfaction.
As a
facilitator, David works with a group or with multiple groups to discover common
ground and reveal shared underlying interests beyond the unproductive notions of
‘right’ and ‘wrong’ that frequently block a groups ability to excel. From a place of common interest,
David is able to help groups discover new strategic and relational collaborative
opportunities.
As a
coach, David works with leaders to assess their core values and behavioral
tendencies and align them with their work in the world. Using proven assessment tools and his
strong intuitive capabilities, he offers guidance and support to enhance
professional growth and life satisfaction.
David
received his law degree from the University of Denver College of Law and a
masters degree in public administration from the University of Colorado. Among his many studies and his
extensive training, David recently was accredited by the International
Minessence Group - Value Mentors in values based consulting and coaching for
organizations and individuals.
Knowing that values lie behind all of our choices, David uses intricate and
extensive values inventory maps to first assess and then support the alignment
of an organization’s or an individual’s values with conscious priority setting
and effective decision-making.
