Hi I'm David. I’m a catalyst, strategist, and coach.
I work as a catalyst, strategist and coach - working with senior executives, professionals and entrepreneurs.
A CEO once said that I understand the soul of an organisation. I’m fascinated by what makes people tick. How they think, feel, behave - and how I can inspire extraordinary performance for themselves, the business they lead and the people that matter to them.
I am a regular contributor to Harvard Business Review, Strategy+Business and Forbes. My views have been quoted in the FT, Times and the Guardian. I am a guest lecturer at the London Business School on strategy, innovation and leadership, and I am a Board advisor to LeaderEQ.
I set up this channel to share ideas, experience, guidance and tips on leadership, strategy and culture.

Great interview. Just got hold of a copy of , 'May Contain Lies' just read the opening pages so far but looks really promising.
Thanks
As a lecturer I love using Frances' work on efficiency & customer service!
Great session right here thank you
Thank you, June. It certainly was - Marcus was on great form!
Impressive Interview
This was an incredible book, I just finished it this morning and was interested to learn more. Thank you for this interview! What a strong And determined woman! I appreciate what she said about being fully present with our children ❤ THANK YOU!
Yes, she is super impressive. It's an inspirational (and often upsetting) story, isnt it?
Thanks for this David and Pia - Are there any ways which can help navigate the competitive nature of the workplace via questioning and actively manage the "dance" in such a way as to engage everyone in a more open conversation and even perhaps change the culture in a team?
Hey there! I recently stumbled upon your video, and I have to say, I'm impressed by how clearly you explained "Mastering Your Inner Journey." It's evident that you put a lot of effort into making the content both awesome and easy to understand. I admire how you've touched on themes like human imagination, inspiration, and creativity, which are central to what I discuss on my own channel. I aim to help viewers find hope, encouragement, and meaning in a challenging world, and your distinct take on this topic is truly appreciated. Your video is so well-executed and useful that I've not only liked it but also subscribed to your channel. Keep up the amazing work!
Her material is invaluable and has helped me in my transition from academic life to the professional workplace and beyond.
Do not hesitate to go further with Holger's book 'Creating Clarity' you'll never regret it ! 🙏
Couldn't agree more!
No she completely dragged her family and mother and father for fame. Her brothers accounts are quite different and she out and out lies about several things. Attention seeking
Enjoyed this. Listening from Borneo. Hopefully have a chance to meet Roger one day.
I read the book and believe her account. There is nothing odd about two different people having two different recollections of events, or even two different experiences from the same events. For anyone who actually did read the book, it does not come across as mean spirited. It very much does come across as someone, who is now an adult, trying to make sense of their childhood. The fact that brother and father challenge her account is not all that odd. Interestingly, neither father nor brother dispute her core issue…that for ten years, she was unable to go to school, for ten years, she grew up on a small boat, and was eventually dropped of in NZ to fend for herself. Neither father nor brother dispute this. They simple seem to think, it wasn’t that bad, things turned out ok in the end, so why is she complaining?
If you believe this account you’re fooling yourself. Anyone who was there doesn’t support it. If you only knew the truth.
Hi there, I am Faruk, an SEO expert. I researched your KZread channel for a few days. Your videos are awesome, but I can see that your videos are not ranking on KZread's top, struggling to gain subscribers, views and engagements. Upon review, I noticed that your channel and videos lack optimization, particularly in terms of SEO. Its current SEO score is 31.6 out of 100! which is lower than standard, hampering its exposure to a broader audience. Can we have a short meeting about issues with solutions?
Fruitful Conversation ✍️💙
Just found this, but maybe you might consider interviewing a military strategist and see what similarities and differences there are in strategy development.
some terrific nuggets of information in here, i just watched a day in the life of andy frisella and he mentioned keaton hoskins so i did a search and ended up here !! very happy i did. thank you !!
Fascinating interview. Thank you
EXCELLENT insights! THANK YOU so much for sharing!
Has anyone been able to verify this story?
Well it’s her experience, Ben. She kept diaries throughout her childhood. Here’s an article that describes the response from her family: www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12134311/amp/Lady-Heywoods-brother-father-angry-riposte-author-told-miserable-childhood.html
@@DavidLancefield1 The Daily Mail is not a reputable source. I read an article in which Mr Cook was interviewed about this. His story was very different.
That's your view of this newspaper. I was merely trying to be helpful in sharing an article that included both sets of views. Having read the book a number of times, read various articles, and interviewed Suzanne, I found her account very moving (and shocking) and have no reason to not believe what she said.@@user-zm2hr7ph3k
I bet it was. @@user-zm2hr7ph3k
Interesting. Have you found anyone at all that can verify the account? Her father would remember the wave incident better I would imagine given she was 7 and he was a grown man. Has anyone talked to the doctor who treated her? Has anyone associated to her in any way verified any of this?
Fantastic video. Adaptability! I get it.
Glad you liked it Rob!
Deeply dissapointed that there were no deep questions about the role of Chinese government in business, human rights, rights and well-being of employees, quality of life etc. I think the authors make the worst kind of propaganda in favor of China. Some overall generalities about customer-centricity, agility , change they refer to is nothing new and certainly not discovered in China...
Those are good questions but that wasn't the focus of the podcast or their work. If you read their book you'll find that they are nuanced about doing business in China, and their points about entrepreneurship and leadership capabilities are different from that practised in the West.
It was a pleasure to join you David.
Fantastic interview David and Alex! Excellent questions and very thoughtful and open responses.
Thank you very much, Nick!
Such a great point that "in the beginning good ideas and bad ideas look the same." 🙌
Yes it is - it's so empowering isn't it?!
Amazing piece of value content - thank you for this, David. Your channel may not be popular (yet?) but it does make a difference.
I appreciate that. Do share it with others!
Phenomenal. Thank you!
You're very welcome. It was a great conversation!
Excelent interview! And mostly, I love when they both agree there is not a dicotomy between leaders and managers.
Thought provoking Too good ! David what's some crucial books to read on b2b sales, direct outreach, attracting clients, finding unique selling point etc as beginner in service based business online or for freelancing ? Also apart frm sales which factors or skills could massively help to become successful..
Such grace 💐
17:53: Change culture. Nice story. Shows that culture is performative action that produces shared assumptions about the joint endeavor. Long way of saying its shared assumptions about rights, responsibilities and relationships. The boss is the only one, generally, who can show the way by their own performance and and exhibition of their own 'assumptions' (actually, performance) in the face of the prevailing behaviours and their underlying assumptions. He also demonstrates one of the functions of leadership: supply resources to achieve the mission along with 'protecting' the team for that purpose.
Inspirational. Thanks David for another insightful episode.
Thank you, Roberto. Yes, Paul is an inspirational leader and person.
Uncompromisingly forthright thoughts ! David whats ur take on - how to have a plan - B when we are uncertain about the future growth of our corporate job & does changing of the career field completely from one to another a better choice when all matters today in market is previous experience in same field for rise in salary or promotions.. are there any good books also on this subject to get into details for creating a perfect plan..
Thank you, Mohib. I don't think there's ever a perfect plan. But I think career development in uncertain times involves placing bets within the role, and potentially outside (as a side project), to see where there's a best fit between your interests and demand (from an employer or customers).

@@DavidLancefield1 Super Helpful 😊

Amazing ideas! THANK YOU so much for sharing!
7:53 Friction Maps 🔥☕ Interesting

EXCELLENT ideas!!! THANK YOU so much!
EXCELLENT ideas!!! THANK YOU so much!
Loving the content! Keep up the good work. Btw, I think you should take a look at PromoSM!! Really think that it could help you grow your channel quicker!!
Really insightful. Glad I found this channel. On the questions asked in the meeting, key for me is framing as solution based questions (e.g. how can we make the most of the talent we have in this organisation?) and not problem based questions (e.g. what is going wrong with the talent development pipeline right now?). Leads to creative and and not defensive discussions.
Thank you for your kind words, David. I really like your framing around solutions rather than problems - much more inclusive, and creative, as you say.
Costas is amazing, I have a copy of "Organizing For The New Normal" now, can't wait to read it!
All the best with the channel!
Wow, what an interesting talk! 🙏
Great insights and tips, Mr. Lancefield 🙏
