David Nettleton I Leadership and CxO Coach in Bristol

Professional coaching to
change your life
revolutionize your business
recharge your career

Hello and thank you for your interest in coaching with me

I work with ‘ambitious’, ‘concientious’ and ‘creative’ leaders and budding founders to help create a fulfilling career, perform at their best (without burning out!) and create innovative and regenerative organisations of purpose and high-performance. This creates three areas of coaching I specialise in:

1. Founder Coaching. I coach Founders for clarity, confidence and alignment. I help you ambitious leaders of purposeful businesses to break free of imposter syndrome, unstick your thinking and push your boundaries for a life and leadership of unlimited potential and happiness. I resolve Co-Founder conflict situations and leadership alignment issues. I support Founders through issues of burnout prevention and recovery.

2. ‘Eco’ Leadership Coaching. I also coach leaders and their teams in purposeful companies to perform at their highest levels and create extraordinary places to work. This is high-performance team coaching, and I use the Rocket Model(TM) alongside principles of regenerative (eco) leadership and relationship systems coaching as a framework.

3. Career coaching for radical change. I coach those considering leaving their career to start a new life, reinventing themselves around a meaningful new project or business venture. If this is you, follow Seekers below but please also see information on The Launch Pod below.

I base my life, leadership and career coaching in Bristol, UK, but also work globally. I love to work with professionals, creatives and teams that have a deep desire to excel and make a positive difference in the world.

If you have an idea you want to develop, if you have a project or new business you need to drive forward, or just want help to explore a meaningful new direction in your career, come and join us in The Launch Pod.

Starting in January, this is a rocket fuelled group coaching programme hosted by professional coaches and experienced entrepreneurs. This is an opportunity to find the tools, the people and the behaviours to bring your ideas to life.

THE LAUNCH POD
Starting January 2023

“The Launch Pod gave me the spring in my step that I needed to think big about my business idea, and interweave my passion for inclusion and social change throughout the business model. It was a creative, intimate and exploratory process, made all the richer by being part of a cohort who I now count as good friends. Ultimately the experiences helped me grow and move on from my safe, regular job to take up space as an award-winning Createch entrepreneur.” Mel Rodrigues, Founder of Gritty Talent TV

"David’s coaching has helped me focus and make sense of an overwhelming jumble. The process of articulating thoughts, fears and aims is really constructive and helps to build a framework from which to move forward in manageable steps. It has also reduced the fear associated with uncertainty, I am focused on my goals, but it is a calmer and more targeted commitment now."

Emma, Hampshire

"It is fantastic to have someone to help me focus on my future and take time to think about me. David's style is warm and engaging, keep up the good work!"

Neil, Brighton

"David blends traditional and holistic coaching very well. It's a very nice balance"...."I can feel a huge impact on how I approach fear in my life and that has been a game changer for me"

Egle, Portugal

"Over the last 6 months David has helped me make friends with myself again. I have reconnected with a part of myself that has been neglected whilst our organization has grown alongside my responsibilities. This was the first time that I've been professionally coached and David did a meticulous job in connecting me deeply into my values, and supported me in finding alignment internally and with my organisation."

Tom, Bristol

"The coaching sessions with David have been highly beneficial both in a personal and professional context. Working alone as a charity director with a remote international team, I found it challenging to take a step back and view the bigger picture of my work. David has been incredibly helpful to challenge and guide my thinking and to use tools to look beyond the day-to-day operations and create a strategic path to growing the organisation. This has been incredibly helpful to maintain a confident approach to work despite challenging [covid] circumstances."

Alan, Bristol

"I prioritise constant self-improvement in my life and working with David has really benefitted every aspect of life: in my work, in my personal life, with family and friends and almost every conceivable area. Thank you for your brilliant coaching and helping be to be the best version of myself!"

Dushy, Surrey

"In life we experience defining moments, defining places and perhaps most importantly defining people who lead us back onto the path we were meant to live. Collectively these 'definers' expand and contract in our consciousness and in that process we cling to the ones that fundamentally listen to us closely and support us express our most authentic self. ‘Liberators', ‘Magnifiers', ‘Expansors', ‘Authenticators'… We are not always ready to receive them when we meet them, perhaps because until then we were so squashed and so far removed from ourselves that meeting our truest selves can be overwhelming and feel so out of reach. From a people perspective David is one of those people you meet who will create an almighty wave and ultimately playful, permissive, pathway to dream and DREAM BIG alongside you. David radiates positivity, optimism, curiosity through acutely well informed and professional listening skills. We need magnifiers in our lives. Thank you David for planting your magic into my/our consciousness and to the ripples you are creating in our community through just being you."

Gabriella, Brighton

"David truly believes in me and my potential; he has not been afraid to challenge me and to dare me to truly open myself up to what I am capable of. Addressing forms of self-sabotage that were plaguing me and my thinking in setting up my own business; he helped me see them for just being ‘smoke and mirrors’, thwarting what I’m trying to achieve. The regular meet-ups are also really key – this keeps me on track and motivated and helps me when I get bogged down. David has also really broadened my views and ways of approaching things and his deep knowledge of business connections is invaluable."

Liz, Bristol
