His guidance has been invaluable in helping me navigate complex and sensitive challenges both in the workplace and in my career. David has a unique ability to support and inspire while also providing practical strategies, particularly in the areas of influencing others and communicating effectively with colleagues at every level, from senior leadership to team members.
