LEADERS IN EXECUTIVE COACHING

David Cooper

Self-awareness is a critical first step in planning development and boosting effectiveness. I work with individuals and teams to build insights into their strengths and development needs framed within the wider organizational agenda.

Experience

David has extensive experience in the assessment of senior executives of major international organisations. He is qualified in the administration of a wide range of psychometric instruments (British Psychological Society level A and B accreditation) and has broad experience in the development and administration of 360 assessment tools. He has also worked for a number of years as an executive coach, working with clients up to CEO level.

David began his career working in the Leeds and Zurich offices of Arthur Andersen, where he reached the position of Vice Director. During his 11 years with Arthur Andersen he built up a broad range of accounting and consulting experience and led a variety of engagements including transaction support, due diligence and risk management projects. David was also closely involved with the development and delivery of a number of Arthur Andersen’s internal training and development programmes and led the ‘Coaching the Partner’ initiative in Switzerland.

After leaving Arthur Andersen, David built up his experience of executive assessment and development working with a number of leading business psychology firms in the UK and Europe. He qualified as a Chartered Psychologist in 2002. He now specialises in the assessment and development of senior management at times of significant organisational change and within the context of high stakes strategic decisions, such as mergers and acquisitions and private equity investments. He is able to draw on, and integrate, insights into both the ‘hard’ and ‘soft’ dimensions of business to address issues and solve problems in a focussed and pragmatic manner. In addition to his assessment, coaching and executive development work, David is also a visiting tutor at London Business School.
