On the podcast, David shares his journey from technical expert in environmental consulting to leadership coach, highlighting how many professionals are placed in leadership roles without the tools or insight to lead effectively. True leadership, as David explains, must be developed—not assumed by title, and self-awareness is foundational.
David and Alan explore the T.E.A.M. Communication Styles® model (Tell, Engage, Analyze, Mediate), discussing how different styles interact, how misunderstandings arise, and why appreciating diverse approaches is crucial for collaboration. David reflects on his natural Mediate style—empathetic and deliberative—and how learning to work with quick, direct “Tell” types improved both his coaching and client relationships.
A major takeaway: Great leaders build trust by adapting—not changing—how they communicate, aiming for authenticity and connection, not uniformity. David emphasizes that adapting to others' styles isn’t manipulation—it’s about being intentional in how you show up.
