Become a truly Masterful Communicator & Take the helm
As a modern leader
Take the HELM: Leader-Growth-coaching with a focus on communication skills
What’s at stake for you when it comes to communication? Maybe it’s tactical - If you have the presentation-of-your-life one week from today, how do you organize everything you might want to say? If you lead a team on a critical project, how do you engage all your resources and execute confidently? If you are launching a new business or product, how do you organize all your offerings and confidently articulate your value add to the market?
Maybe it’s more interpersonal and you are working on navigating conflict, disagreement, and misunderstandings.
No matter your communication objective, how do you access key information, how can you quickly get the right message formulated for the right audience, and then how do you deliver it confidently with great conviction as though it is second nature?
Your ability to communicate IS your ability to lead, influence, make an impact and navigate the future.
Communication either fuels your operations as an individual and a team, or it stifles it. That’s why our rally cry is “TAKE THE HELM.” Step up and captain your own ship, your own leadership journey, and fully maximize your ability to communicate.
What Is It Like to Work With Dave?
Take The Helm is designed to give you all the awareness, tools, and practices to supercharge and reframe your communication skills by drawing on listening intelligence and neuroscience.
If the stakes are high, and your message is critical, who’s listening, what you say, and how you say it each impact how well you are heard as a leader and presenter.
I work with you one on one as both your executive coach and a strategic presentation coach to craft the absolute most meaningful vision that fuels your day-to-day leadership approach, and then we sharpen the supporting communication skills and strategic message that will compel your most important listeners - your teammates, or clients, or partners, or colleagues. Your ability to communicate effectively and to confidently articulate your value proposition to others is imperative, and it all starts with a shift to what I call a “listen-first mindset.”
In the program, you will learn to utilize the Masterful Communicator toolkit - a listen-first conversation framework used to gather, organize, process, exchange, and express information. It is absolutely a must-have in your leadership repertoire and elevates and enhances your existing style and accumen.
With a shared framework and toolkit that we can both draw upon, for key engagements, interactions, and presentations, we then co-develop a listener-centric message (or an engagement strategy) that develops trust in you, and one that drives critical action towards your key objectives. For your critical communication moments or presentations, I help you choose and craft the specific words and the content you’ll deliver with a tone and verbiage in line with your personal voice. And ultimately, I work with you on the six key delivery skills needed to communicate key ideas with energy and conviction.
Confidently deliver a remarkable PRESENTATION, engage a team you lead, Or pitch a new business endeavor and ultimately communicate like an absolute pro.
Working together, I guarantee you will master your message, be heard, and build trust with any and every audience that matters.
TAKE THE HELM: THE MASTERFUL COMMUNICATOR
Self-Guided + Seven Modules + A Community of Modern Leaders all Mastering Content Design, Delivery Skills, and Presentation Agility.
The Masterful Communicator is a toolkit, a coaching program, and a community designed for modern leaders - executives, entrepreneurs, and sales pros - who want to fully take the helm of their ability to communicate, lead others, and present information with conviction.
Become a masterful communicator and authentically call upon the power of narrative and storytelling so that you can engage and compel action in various audiences when presenting key information. The toolkit provides you with a way to organize your message into a compelling listener-centric narrative. Think of it as a flexible framework to call upon when you must articulate yourself, and from that same framework have access to an incredibly productive conversation guide for gathering key information, or coaching others. The same tools we use to speak effectively also become the same tools we can use to listen intentionally and use to gather diverse information, key information, and different perspectives to prudently make or influence critical business decisions.
You can complete the program in a hyper-focused week, or spread the course over seven strategic weeks. Also take part in the leader-community through digital “fireside” mastermind gatherings where we will discuss topics tied to leadership communication, and where we all practice and sculpt our presentation and delivery skills.
Each digital module involves approximately 90 minutes of your online attention. Short video lessons, journaling or visualizations, noting taking on key observations or concepts, etc. during the session, and the follow-through lessons and tools which you can then deploy into your real-life and daily business interactions.
Whether speaking from the stage, running a strategic meeting with your team, crafting the perfect email to a client, winning an important deal, or driving a meaningful conversation over a virtual call, how does one say everything that must be said, when only so much can be said? This is the objective of the Masterful Communicator program, and why the foundation of the program is rooted in the discipline of intentional listening so as to allow you to concisely deliver meaningful messages that clearly serve your audience, and prompt genuine action in your listeners (you know…, your clients, your prospects, your teammates, your vendors, your partners, your colleagues, and every decision-maker or contributor you ever encounter. Truly hear, and be heard by these key parties, and your odds of winning the game of business improve dramatically).
“I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.”

Take The Helm As A Masterful Communicator
As a leader - a long-standing leader by role and duty, or one emerging from the crowd in any given moment - your ability to confidently, articulately, and authentically deliver your message is paramount.
What is leadership, but your ability to thoughtfully and powerfully speak a message in a way that builds trust, engages others, empowers autonomy and action, or leads to smarter decisions? And you’ve got to do that all with a certain energy, poise, and an authentic voice. Great leaders speak clearly, passionately, and even deliver their message differently from time to time so that there is genuine relevance and value for different audiences. Not everyone listens the same, and different people care about different things.
The ready-now leaders, entrepreneurs, and sales pros who will genuinely guide us into the future are deeply aware of all of these factors. Today’s modern leaders must not only listen and gather information strategically and thoroughly, but then they must present ideas meaningfully to compel, build trust, and create durability in every relationship, decision, and action. In the next decade, a new generation of leaders must take the helm from a surge in retiring executives. Your time to take the helm…is now.
