David Calder — Executive CoachDavid Calder

How I Can Help

I work with individuals and teams, face-to-face, online, or a blend of both. I am based in Glasgow and work with clients wherever they are.

David Calder coaching session

Individual & Executive Coaching

These are tailored sessions to allow you to find solutions to the challenges you are working through.

We begin with an honest conversation. Whether you are stepping into a bigger role, dealing with a difficult situation, or simply wanting space to think things through, we work together to get to the heart of what matters and move forward with clarity.

I create a trusted, confidential space. My job is to listen carefully, ask the right questions, and help you build on the strengths and capabilities you already have.

Who comes for this

Senior leaders, directors, and managers who want a calm, independent space to think. I work with clients in all sectors, most recently in engineering and manufacturing, education, finance, professional services, and the charity sector.

How it works

One-to-one. In person, by video call, or both. We always start with a free initial conversation.

David Calder team coaching workshop

Team Coaching & Development

Teams work best when there is trust, honest communication, and a shared sense of where things are going.

I work with teams to create the conditions for better collaboration and healthier ways of working together. This might be a leadership team navigating change, an international or virtual team building stronger connections, or a project team that wants to work together more effectively under pressure.

What this includes

  • Leadership teams, including senior leadership teams
  • International and virtual teams
  • Project teams

How it works

Every engagement is shaped around the team. From a focused half-day session to a longer programme.

The initial conversation

I always recommend starting with a free initial conversation. It is a chance for us to briefly cover what you are hoping to achieve, talk through how I work, and decide together whether the relationship feels right. There is no pressure on either side.
