Your Next Chapter Starts Now

I help small to medium sized business leaders get out of reaction mode and take steps towards a vision that has only existed in their heads.

Why is it that your success can feel like a trap?

If you could go back and show your 22 year old self a current W2, he would have thought that life would be on easy street. And yet:

  • Your time isn’t yours.

  • You are in constant reaction mode.

  • The liabilities keep piling up.

  • The burdens of the business have only gotten heavier and you continue to carry the load.

  • Your ability to power-through is not working anymore.

  • You are starting to wondering “is this it?”

There is a new chapter to write, but only if you pick up the pen.

Now is the perfect time to reflect on what has gotten you here and to proactively create what comes next.

  • You can take back control of your time.

  • Your business can succeed more than you thought possible without the burnout.

  • You can and will continue to grow.

  • You are capable of even more than you have achieved so far.

That is the good news.

The bad news is that this business of transformation is hard work. It requires hard conversations with yourself and with those around you. At times it will feel like a roller coaster as you push outward on your self imposed limits.

But it will be worth it.

The Process

My one one one coaching programs are uniquely designed for each client but will all include the following foundational elements:

Self Discovery

  • Coaching will help you lean further into your authentic self. This process will take unvarnished stock of what you value, what gives you energy, what drains your energy, and most importantly, how you are getting in your own way.

Vision Definition

  • Define a vision so compelling that it is worth the discomfort of transformation. You will be challenged to think in more expansive ways than you have done in the past.

Get Specific & Take Action

  • What needs to happen to achieve this vision? How do you need to change? How will you know if you are on track or off track? How will you know when you get there? What will it be worth to you?

  • Put in place accountability systems.

Learn & Repeat

  • Continually learn from the actions taken or not taken. Revisit yourself, how you are changing, and if the vision needs to change as well.

What my Clients Have to Say

  • Dave has a unique ability to challenge while creating a space where I felt at ease. I have seen significant positive change in my life since we started working together. He helped me to gain clarity on what I want in my career and helped me to develop a plan to achieve it

    - Resort & Hospitality Executive

  • When I started working with Dave, I felt stuck, and it was clear my relationship with endurance sports was smothering my life. After a few months I feel free to finally live the life that had only existed as reels in my head for years.

    - Former Professional Athlete, Startup Executive

  • Dave offers a warm, professional, non-judgmental environment that helped me to enact significant changes to my business. The result has been 30% more revenue and a significantly improved quality of life. I would not have been nearly as confident in making this huge change without our working together.

    - Small Business Owner

About Me

I am a Co-Active trained professional coach, a father to three, and a husband to one residing in Boulder, CO.

Prior work took me everywhere from ski resorts to Wall St. to the Paris Airshow.

Most recently, I ran AIN Media Group, a 30 employee small business, and the leading B2B news and information source for the business aviation industry. During my tenure the company transformed from one reliant upon print advertising to a diversified mix of digital, print, and a new events business.

Outside of work and family I enjoy going slow uphill and fast downhill on bikes and skis. I write on occasion and am licensed, albeit rusty, private pilot with an instrument certification.
