In 2015 David was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer, initiating his own career move into coaching.David’s true purpose is helping people achieve. We talk to him about how he enjoys helping younger people start their careers, the sort of questions he asks them, and how the value of truly listening to people is in very short supply.We discuss the sort of questions that employers should be asking themselves when it comes to employing people in their late forties and early fifties and beyond. The value of employing people based on outcomes and results, rather than just paying someone a salary based on a number of hours.David’s Leadership Essentials Remembering it’s always about people and to speak and listen to your team at an emotional level Leadership is about walking about, being available without agenda Getting into the work; visit and listen to the people who actually use your products and services   David can be contacted at https://harper360.com
