Who Dave Works With
Organizations Preparing for AI
Companies that know AI matters but need help preparing employees, managers, and leaders to use it responsibly and effectively.
HR, L&D, and Talent Teams
Teams that need a clearer learning strategy, better governance, stronger onboarding, leadership development, or scalable training infrastructure.
Business Leaders Driving Transformation
Leaders rolling out new systems, processes, operating models, or strategic changes who need employees to adopt the change successfully.
Sales, Customer Success, and Enablement Teams
Teams that need better onboarding, product adoption, customer education, playbooks, learning paths, and value realization support.
Civic, Campaign, and Community Organizations
Organizations that need help with volunteer training, field operations, community engagement, messaging, workshops, or organizational structure.
Sports and Community-Based Organizations
Clubs, teams, and local organizations that need support with administration, communications, brand presence, operations, and community engagement.
AI Workforce Readiness
Most organizations don't have an AI problem — they have a readiness problem. This work closes the gap between the tools you've rolled out and the people expected to use them: practical literacy, role-based use cases, manager confidence, and clear guidelines that turn AI from an anxious side activity into a normal, trusted part of how work gets done.
Civic, Campaign, and Community Organizing Support
Mission-driven organizations run on people who choose to show up — and lose ground when those people feel lost, underused, or disconnected from the impact. This helps campaigns, nonprofits, and community groups train volunteers well, communicate clearly, and organize with real operating rhythm — practical, nonpartisan capability sized to a lean team and a real budget.
Enablement Program Buildout
People rarely underperform for lack of effort — they underperform because they were handed information and left to figure out the hard part alone. This builds the system that actually equips them: playbooks, job aids, learning paths, and a through-line from every piece of enablement to the value it's meant to create — for sellers, success teams, customers, and internal teams adopting something new.
Business Transformation Enablement
Transformations rarely fail on the whiteboard. They fail in the gap between a decision made at the top and a behavior changed on the ground. This builds the human side of change around the initiative you're already committed to — who's affected, what they need to learn and hear, and how you'll know it stuck — so the investment actually delivers.
L&D Strategy & Operating Model Design
Most learning functions don't get designed — they accumulate, one request and one tool at a time, until no one can say whether any of it works. This turns scattered, reactive training into a real learning function: a clear strategy, a way to prioritize requests, consistent standards, and a straight line from every program back to a business goal.
Workshops & Speaking Engagements
Practical, human sessions built for the people in the room — less theater, more "here's something you can use Monday." From AI at work to leadership under pressure and change management, delivered as a keynote, a hands-on workshop, or a series, and always shaped to the audience instead of run from a generic deck.
Fractional Advisory
Plenty of organizations have a real, ongoing need for senior learning, enablement, AI, or transformation leadership — and no good way to get it short of a full-time hire they can't yet justify. This puts an experienced senior partner on call: steering strategy, keeping programs on track, managing stakeholders, and coaching your team — exactly as much leadership as you need, scaled to your budget.
Program Buildout Advisory Support
A great plan and a finished thing are very different objects, and most initiatives die in the distance between them. This is the hands-on work of actually building what you need — learning paths, tools, materials, operating models, workshop content — and launching it so it lands and lasts, backed by a plan to measure what actually matters.
Strategy Sprint Planning
The old way of building strategy — months of meetings, a thick deck, a big reveal — doesn't fit the speed organizations now move at. This is a short, focused engagement that turns a specific challenge into a clear framework, a sequenced roadmap, and executive-ready recommendations: a plan you can decide on and run, built fast.
Readiness Diagnostic Insights
Most failed initiatives were lost before they started — committed to before anyone honestly checked whether the organization was ready. This is that check: a focused, honest assessment of one challenge, ending in a clear picture of where you stand and a 90-day roadmap you can act on. The smart first step before any larger engagement.
Sports Administration & Community Engagement Support
Most local sports organizations run on a handful of volunteers doing far more than they signed up for, until the structure underneath buckles. This helps clubs, youth programs, and athletic associations build the operations, communications, and community presence that take the load off everyone — so the people involved can get back to the game.
