Married

My life has been about moving home and adapting to new places. I moved house and family 11 times in 16 years both in England and abroad before settling in London for 10 years. In that time I have been home owner, tenant and landlord and now have my own property business with homes in England and France. Based on my own experience, I have helped others prepare their own home for selling and achieving the maximum price. I've learnt just what people are looking for in a new home. My latest prject is renovating a large country house in France ready for the next move.

Broke and homeless at the age of 28...David used the principles in his book 'The Soul Millionaire' to turn his life around. From the depths of despair he rose to become a master of his craft as a Financial Planner, creating revenue streams enjoyed by only the top 1% of his profession in the UK.

Now, through his company The Soul Millionaire Ltd, he is engaged to coach and train entrepreneurs, professional advisers and corporate executives, to create 'Purpose Driven Businesses'. He also travels internationally as a Professional Speaker for conferences, conventions, seminars and workshops.

Yet, it is in his role as a work-in-progress husband and father of four children where he sees his greatest adventure of all!

I believe in coaching as a means to effect powerful change.  This has led me to debate and advocate many aspects of coaching.  I have appeared on BBC Radio Stoke, Merseyside and Manchester for interviews and phone-in coaching, and wrote a regular newspaper coaching column for over three years.

My Executive Coaching practice is just about to enter its 8th year.  In 2006 by combining my learning from coaching leaders in organisations www.thedirectorscoach.com with educational input from Jack Stewart, I co-authored my first book - ‘The Coaching Parent’, www.thecoachingparent.com

This meant the creation of an accessible, readily available approach to help adults provide younger members of society with a means to realise their talents.  Previously workshops had proven time consuming, reaching relatively small numbers.  Now through the Internet, this work is available in many countries including France, Spain, Italy, Sweden, Germany, Japan and the United States of America.  That means a lot to me, as my aim is to make a difference with this work in as many parts of the world as possible.   

I am married to Laura, have two daughters, Nicole and Anne-Marie, and three grandchildren, Marcus, Aiden and Annika.
