Coach, mentor, educator, author, researcher and podcaster.

David has coached a wide range of individuals and organisations — from start-ups to established enterprises — across multiple industries, including pharma, travel, health, fashion, charity, wine, government, law, agriculture, automotive, and finance.

He holds a doctorate in coaching and mentoring from Oxford Brookes University, where his pioneering research explored the experiences of spontaneous humour in dyadic coaching — how it emerges, how it is received, and how it affects the coaching experience — alongside a postgraduate certificate in Business & Personal Coaching from the University of Chester, Professional Certified Coach (PCC) accreditation with the International Coaching Federation and a range of Agile-related qualifications.

David is the author of ‘Coaching Journal: A guide and journal‘, ‘The Innovation Revelation: A story about how to satisfy customer needs‘, ‘6 Steps to a Successful Agile Implementation‘, ‘The Lemonade Stall: How to test and validate ideas‘, ‘The Online Facilitator’s Cookbook‘ and ‘Scrum 101: the most frequently asked questions about Agile with Scrum‘. He is also the host of THE COACH’S BACKPACK podcast.
