New Program - Maximising Lockdown

New program - ‘What now, after lockdown’

‘Coaching helps you stop the crazy mind chatter in your head that tells you all the time that you're not good enough’ says Oprah Winfrey

Finally the world is returning to some kind of normal, but its very unlikely that things will ever be the same again.

The feelings that you light have had then of blockage, being at a crossroads or out of options may still remain. You may feel defeated, resigned or confused and your point of view is often the main contributing factor to the blocked, stuck, or stalled way you’re feeling. Learning how to identify and dissolve painful beliefs that are running in the background can move you out of helplessness and clear up a lot of confusion.

Coach with David to work with you to get clear about what fulfilment would be for you. In the big picture, fulfilment is about living a life that is valued, purposeful, and alive, and balance is about choosing a life that is in action, aligned with a compelling vision.

Programs begin with an exploratory session, then your coaching journey depends on you, your goals and what you want to achieve .

David’s coaching journey

David has developed and led teams around the World, but primarily in the UK, Russia and the Middle East, but including teams in Europe, America, Africa and South Asia. His natural ‘coach leadership’ style was one that enabled organic development of leaders and highly satisfied teams. David used his experience in America and with his colleagues in Mitchells and Butlers to study at Coventry University gaining his Masters and through that was invited back to sit on their Advisory Board and working with their incredible Institute for entrepreneurship.

David completed his ICF coaching accreditation with the Henka Institute who he also advises

David’s Mentor Professor Dr Chris Edger at the Birmingham City Business School is a prolific author of 13 books which are held in over 900 universities around the world. David contributed to his book co-authored with his one time boss Tony Hughes Inspirational Leadership - ‘How do truly Inspirational Leaders move ordinary people to achieve extraordinary things?’ and has also contributed to his 14th book focusing on Coach Leadership available in Spring 2021.

It was Chris and another of David’s friends and mentors Steve Mele a global HR and technology expert who encouraged David to apply his skills from the global Board rooms to that of transformational coaching.

The picture shows David filming and using Inspirational Leadership in his Elevate Masterclass with another friend Robert Clarke (and also encouraged David a great deal to embark on his coaching transition) who is a fellow alumni at the University of Central Florida where David was once a regular visitor studying and researching Leadership under the inspiration of Professor Chris Muller

David coaches clients from Dubai, but around the world. What the Covid era has taught us is that the world is a small place and there’s a huge demand for transformational coaching.

David has carefully built his programs around what he believes works for his clients. From one off introductory sessions right up to annual programs. You will often hear David talking about his ‘coaching journey’ and that’s exactly what it is. They are private, confidential sessions that require significant investment in time and focused effort to achieve great things.

In addition to his paid coaching engagements David undertakes pro bono mentoring with Reach, a non-profit mentoring program dedicated to helping young professionals unlock their true potential through structured mentoring and professional support. It was founded by a group of four Dubai-based professional women as the first non-profit organization to be registered in Dubai. It aims to support and develop the skills of female professionals in the area of financial services and its related sectors.

How to become a winner in the hospitality world

Expert David Singleton says a ‘winning culture’ is paramount

If you want to be a winner, you have to think like one, be like one, act like one, believe you’re one. If you can master the art of winning, then you can achieve any result you can dream of. That’s a fact. It’s not easy. Other people are thinking the same, so out-think them. Magical things start to happen when you foster a winning culture. Winners plaques endorse unspoken values and behaviour.
