Hi, I'm Dave.
I help leaders and teams communicate with clarity, connection, and confidence.
I'm a communication coach, keynote speaker, TEDx speaker, published author of New Business Networking, and host of the ADHD Wise Squirrels podcast. I trained in improv at Second City, and for more than 20 years I've helped people at organizations like Google, LinkedIn, FedEx, and UPS get their ideas across and build stronger working relationships.
My coaching is practical and human. You'll get honest feedback, real tools you can use the same day, and a coach who understands that everyone's brain works a little differently.
From Toronto and based in Nashville, I coach clients everywhere by video.
Kind words from people I've worked with

I also found having accountability every month to execute on the plans we had put together imperative to my personal success running and eventually selling my company."
