David Buswell
David’s background in marketing, advertising and market research, combined with his experience of founding and managing two successful businesses and his work as a counsellor, gives him a wide range of skills which make him an exceptional executive coach.
Expertise:
David works with clients to cultivate constant, exceptional performance by:
- Develop and fulfil potential.
- Set goals and achieve them.
- Be courageous and to overcome the blocks which inhibit excellence in performance.
- Establish productive relationships with peers.
- Delegate responsibility.
- Create effective and appropriate leadership styles.
His approach to coaching is both gently challenging and highly supportive. David believes that individuals invariably block performing excellence in their working life with fears and beliefs. To reframe these fears and beliefs requires an appropriate level of challenge and a generous level of support, so that the client can step fully into their “own boots”, enabling their future to be transformed.
David has held senior marketing positions in advertising agencies, research agencies and financial services companies. He is the founder Director of The Financial Marketing Consultancy, a marketing consultancy specialising in market research for financial services companies. He has worked as a Senior Consultant with Sporting Body mind, a company working with elite athletes, executives and business teams to improve performance, and in 2000, set up Virtuoso Coaching, a company which works with high-level international performers – classical, rock and pop musicians, opera singers, dancers and actors.
