David Phillips
Associate Executive Coach
Special interests - Management, Leadership, Working Parenthood
David began his career as a lawyer with a global law firm before moving into law firm Learning and Development and HR leadership, which he did for over a decade. He’s now an accredited coach, facilitator and training consultant.
David specialises in coaching lawyers and other professionals, enabling them to achieve high performance in a sustainable and balanced way. In particular he enjoys helping working parents juggle family commitments whilst pursuing a fulfilling career. He also has a wealth of experience developing management and leadership capabilities.
As a coach David is curious and empathetic, although he’s not afraid to challenge his clients robustly where required. His clients include individuals at a number of law firms, including a US-headquartered global firm, a UK-based global ‘magic circle’ firm, a ‘global elite’ firm and several UK-based top 50 firms. In addition to this he has also coached at one of the UK’s largest homeless charities.
In 2019 David relocated to the French Alps. When he’s not working he can often be found skiing, cycling or in the mountains trying to keep up with his wife and two daughters.
