Leaders and Organizations
As a leader, achieve your best results by being aware in both the business dimension and the inter-personal dimension, and by helping team members feel valued and work optimally together.
Leaders
Leadership success requires not only understanding of the typical internal and environmental methods that make organizations successful, but also requires the individual in a leadership role to be self-aware, to understand communication with a wide variety of personality styles, and to have resources of inner well-being that allow both patience and assertiveness—and the wisdom to determine which one of those is needed in the moment!Organizations
The expression “organizational therapy” is meant to convey addressing and healing areas of an organization that are not aligned well. This work can include helping individual executives and managers find more fulfillment and be more effective, and can also involve improving understanding and communication across the organization.
Because of my background with psychotherapy, the goal is not just to come up with procedures for improvement (although that helps too), but to enhance the acceptance and understanding between individuals and departments, for the well-being of all individuals and the organization.
Individuals in a team work environment are often interacting with coworkers with whom they would not naturally choose to interact, or with coworkers who think and act in different ways. Training in awareness and communication helps bridge the gaps between people and leads to better morale, increased staff engagement, better use of organizational assets, and better outcomes for the organization.
Interaction with other team members, with clients, and with vendors, all contribute to a positive or negative workplace experience. You can make the workplace a positive place for team members, with corresponding benefits for the organization.
I have worked in the business world for large companies, and then ran my own successful consulting company providing service to organizations of all sizes, for over 35 years. This included experience with planning, marketing, negotiating, implementation, and management of staff.
Talks and Workshops for staff, management teams, and executives:

- Management for the Mindful: Understand and practice the mindful awareness for managers that allows just the right amount of intervention, or at times non-intervention, in the varied situations that arise in the workplace
- Mission Possible: Clarify the mission of your organization for managers and team members. A clarified and authentic mission means a more harmonized and motivated workplace, leading to greater retention, engagement, and effectiveness

David recently did a presentation on non-violent communication on behalf of one of my clients, an HR firm. To say that he hit it out of the ballpark would be an understatement. He was engaging, used real-world scenarios and examples and provided the attendees with actionable take-aways to help them navigate the sometimes-tricky world of intergenerational workplace communication.
David is genuine and empathetic. Even during a brief training, his message resonated with this audience of business owners, HR managers and C-suite executives. We received extremely positive feedback from the attendees and highly recommend David for consulting and training in this area.
David is a superbly gifted Organizational Therapist who is able to help guide entrepreneurs in growing their businesses while navigating the highly unpredictable environment that we find ourselves in.
Unlike many psychotherapists he has a long-established track record of working in the real world, which allows him to help his clients deal with real-world problem solving. If you have an established business which is coping with a changing times, or an entrepreneur looking to unlock growth and opportunities I would highly recommend David as a consultant.
David is a professional, and has an insight to coaching you to success. I am amazed at his ability and knowledge to understand you and which allows you to reach higher goals.
I highly recommend David, don't look any further if you need a coach. Best regards, David!
I had both the privilege and good fortune to first connect with David in 2019. In retaining his services, I found him to be highly professional, insightful, authentic, patient, and kind. I greatly appreciated his direct approach, thoughtful consideration, and engaging manner.
As it turns out, the feedback and insight he provided me turned out to be absolutely spot on, over the course of time. It is a pleasure to recommend David as a pragmatic, discerning, and intuitive counselor, therapist, and leader.
I have come to appreciate the depth of David Alexander’s listening and coaching abilities. David advised me on how to brand my Services and guided me in a meaningful and thoughtful fashion. I have since become more effective in communicating my message and benefited from David’s guidance. If you are looking for a personal or business coach, I heartily recommend David.
