Burnout Management Coaching: About David

My career has included running my own software development company, serving as a staff expert with roles as a Change Agent for Innovation and an AI thought leader, working as an IT Director for an oil and gas company, and pursuing a consulting career at HP and then Microsoft.

I've developed innovative strategies to ensure that strategy maps are fully executed, discovered methods to boost developer productivity by over 39%, and presented at more than 20 industry and private events. Throughout these experiences, I’ve realized that managing my time and achieving key goals is crucial. This is why managing your energy is vital—it’s the source of life and success.

I also bring teams 20+ years of experience, including four roles as Product Owner and Product Manager (POPM), delivering solid product value both personally and as a trainer and coach. My focus on productivity coaching and burnout prevention has clearly accelerated business results in adoption and growth by optimizing the flow of value.

While the burnout I write about was very real, my journey towards burnout prevention led to a complete recovery, as well as a broad array of accomplishments throughout my career. I've written extensive customer thought leadership papers and presented at industry events on various topics, including enterprise agile coaching, business-IT alignment through strategy and execution, IT Service Management, building technology organizations, and productivity coaching in software development.
