Burnout Management Coaching: About David

My Work

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 wrote about burnout prevention to help equip my team members with strategies to avoid burnout, enabling them to achieve high performance and maintain a joyful work life. In my experience, avoiding burnout has been "the great accelerator" of productivity excellence for all the teams I've managed, reinforcing the importance of productivity coaching and enterprise agile coaching in fostering a healthy work environment.

Technology Leadership

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.

Management Emphasis

Enterprise Agile Software Development

I enable teams to succeed through my depth of software engineering guidance, which not only accelerates business results but also emphasizes burnout prevention. My career has spanned running my own software development company, serving as a staff expert and IT Director for an oil and gas company, to a consulting career at HP and then Microsoft. Currently, I specialize in enterprise agile coaching and act as an OCM specialist in the government space, where I focus on productivity coaching to accelerate the flow of value to constituents through lean techniques across various global technology domains.

Technologist Emphasis

Product Manager / Product Owner

I 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.
