As the founder of The TCM Group, he has built a global consultancy focused on helping organisations create what he calls “transformational cultures”, environments where performance and humanity are not in conflict, but fully aligned. His work challenges the traditional HR operating model. Instead of compliance-driven systems, David advocates for a people-first approach grounded in five domains: people, culture, strategy, justice, and value. This shift is not cosmetic, it’s a structural redesign of how organisations operate and how leaders lead. For consulting firm owners, this conversation goes deeper than HR. It's about positioning culture as a commercial lever. David’s frameworks show how better conversations, better systems, and better leadership directly impact performance, retention, and long-term growth. ********************************************************** Proposed Interview Structure: 1. What got you into consulting, and what led you to focus so deeply on people, culture, and conflict resolution? 2.

Current Acquisition Channels: Referral, Webinars, Podcast (guesting), Speaking engagements Sub Question: What do you think about podcasting as a marketing channel for consultants in the people and culture space? 5. When you’re dealing with large organisations and complex culture change, how do you move from initial conversations to signed engagements? 6. How do you retain clients over time, what do you do to make sure they keep coming back and build long-term relationships with you? 7. Where do you find yourself most stuck right now as a consultant, if at all, especially at the scale you’re operating? 8. Looking ahead, where do you see the biggest opportunity for people, culture, and leadership consulting over the next few years?*********************************************************************Know more about David LiddleWebsite Link: http://www.thetcmgroup.com/Connect with David Liddle on LinkedInLinkedIn link: https://www.linkedin.com/in/liddledavid/Apply to be a guest on Consulting Leaders:https://ghapodcast.com/application-to-be-a-guest-on-consulting-leaders/
