About me
My name is David Bottomley. I help leaders deliver great outcomes for their business, their teams and for themselves. I help individuals develop balance, calm, well-being, confidence, motivation and self-esteem, and to relieve anxiety and stress. I also provide career coaching and specialise in helping people considering retirement or semi-retirement.
For leaders - I coach executives, experienced and new leaders from all sectors - specialising in the technology, digital, retail, finance, healthcare, supply chain and charity sectors.
- Are you finding it difficult to manage the expectations of your business?
- Do you find board meetings a real challenge?
- Is your team as happy and productive as you would like them to be?
- How is your work/life balance? How is your mental and physical health? Do you suffer with stress or anxiety?
- Where is your career going next?
I will help you to survive and prosper; whilst being balanced and true to yourself in the demanding and complex world of day-to-day operations and change.
For individuals - I provide empathetic and practical help with confidence, motivation, self-esteem and personal development. I also provide career and life coaching to help you clarify your goals, values, strengths and create a plan to meet your personal objectives.
If you would like expert help from an independent, trusted and experienced coach - who will help you open new doors, dismantle walls and raise the roof - then do get in touch for a free open-ended, confidential discussion.
