As the “Chief Question Asker” at Humanergy, his work centers on a simple but often overlooked principle: leadership is less about having the right answers and more about asking the right questions at the right time. His approach is grounded in real-world leadership challenges, from facilitating difficult conversations to guiding executives through high-stakes transitions. Through his coaching, training programs, and books like What Great Teams Do Great, David has developed practical frameworks that help leaders build trust, improve communication, and drive measurable organizational impact.
