What to Expect
BET ON YOURSELF!
Each of us has at least one intrinsic quality that contributes to how we show up to ourselves and our communities. Betting on yourself is the act of using these qualities to achieve your ambition.
WHY?
There is already something brewing inside you. That's why you are here, weighing your options and leveling your readiness. Perhaps there is a life choice on hold - maybe you feel that you need "permission" to proceed with your choices - maybe you are thinking about overhauling your habits. Don't let your ideas taunt you anymore. Let's give them the attention they deserve.
TRUST MATTERS...
There is no hierarchy in the coaching partnership. You decide the agenda, speed and depth.
I help navigate with confidentiality and honesty.
WHAT IS YOUR ZEALOUS IDEA?
Here are some ideas that might feel familiar to you:
- Reacquaint with your skills and abilities
- Unmask your nerve
- Strengthen your resiliency
- Practice interdependence
- Experiment with perspective
- Trust your decisions
- Speak your mind
- Pivot towards a goal
- Pivot away from something you outgrew
- Connect
- Play
- Get stuff done
Meet Your Coach - David White
Welcome and thanks for your interest! It takes nerve to wander into the unknown... Having navigated the choppy waters myself, I bundled my experience and training to offer you a partner who has unmasked his nerve and is ready to help you tap into yours. Let's wander beyond what you already know and experiment with other perspectives and options for you.
As a seasoned leadership coach and industrial engineer, I traversed the highs and lows of the corporate world and left my fingerprints on some positive changes. I've also choked down a few life events that taught me to stare at my reflection without flinching. Now, I devote myself to individual and team coaching, with the aim to positively impact the lives of everyone who dares to pursue their zealous ideas.
Listen up! There is no secret too scary or too big that can derail you from realizing your ambition. It just takes nerve...
I am fluent in English and Italian (and getting better at Spanish). You are invited to learn more about me by visiting my public LinkedIn profile - www.linkedin.com/in/david9white

The Trench

The Trench
In a 2024 interview, the Academy Award-winning actress, Jodi Foster, said she built a trench around her to survive as she navigated her personal and public lives. When the interviewer asked whether that trench was still in place, she answered, "Yeah!"...."I'm still working on that". I can relate to Jodi as I have felt the need for my own trench AND I have started to wonder whether I still need it. The answer is, of course, highly personal.
What role does the trench serve in your life? How long will you need it?

The Pivot
The Trench
The Trench
I like the action verb "pivot" when describing any type of change. The act of pivoting is low risk and requires that you remain in contact with the ground. Pivoting also provides the relative safety of the current environment while you access and experiment with new directions. The human brain is rewiring all the time. Doing a small small action is every bit as valuable as the big leaps. Everything counts!
What pivots are on your horizon?
Are you pivoting towards something you want or are you pivoting away from something you have outgrown?
Resilience

Resilience
The adjective "resilient" reminds me of hearty house plants. I appreciate them because they adapt to the adversity caused by my neglect when I forget to water them. Resilience is the ability to endure unpredictable situations and THRIVE in spite of the circumstances. It is different than survival because resilience is not an action, but rather a state of being. The action comes from the behavior and choice to be resilient. It is regenerative and can be exercised and strengthened.
What daily habits do you practice to exercise and strengthen your resilience?
