COACHING
Dave’s mission is simple: Helping Bosses Become Leaders and Leaders Build Legacies
Most leaders want to be successful and make a difference. They want to be respected beyond positional leadership and valued for a meaningful contribution in their work and life.
But for many leaders, execution of the mission can be challenging.
As a leader, this challenge is compounded by the fact that you are the leader. When you are seeking clarity and results, you likely cannot find a confidential sounding board and solid accountability partner from within the organization you lead.
This is where executive coaching can make a major difference – to you and the organization you lead.
Dave Ferguson has walked many miles in executive shoes. He gets it. He also knows those shoes can get tight at times or stuck in the mire. As an executive coach, it is his passion to help leaders get on track and move forward to massive success.
Dave also serves with you to effectively coach your leadership team to success as well, in the form of workshops, group coaching, or corporate retreats. Known for breaking barriers and building bridges, he can help you and your team break through to new levels of growth and leadership.

GROUP COACHING
All teams have their own idiosyncrasies, which come from historical baggage, personality mix, reputation within the organization, and prevailing beliefs (micro-culture), all of which influence their ability to perform to an optimal level.
Group coaching provides groups and teams the opportunity to go beyond their current abilities.
By working with a team in the context of its everyday work and challenges, a coach introduces new ideas and sees opportunities for improving team performance.
Organizational benefits of group coaching
Group coaching enables an empowering culture within the organization to grow. It helps teams to work in unison to make their vision a reality.
This translates to...
- Higher employee productivity
- Effective leadership development
- Greater company morale
- Higher profitability rates over the short- and long-term
Benefits to team members who receive group coaching and training:
- Improved team performance and a focus on results
- A greater sense of trust and respect
- An increase in motivation
- A clear relationship between the team’s daily work and the organization’s mission
- An increase in creative problem solving
- The ability to engage in appropriate debate
In collaboration with team leaders and members, Dave will help your team...
- Define its purpose and priorities
- Understand its environment
- Identify and tackle barriers to performance

- Develop the systems, skills and behaviors to internalize coaching
How are coaching sessions conducted?
Group coaching is conducted via small settings onsite, webinar, or tele-conferencing.
RETREATS
Every great leader knows the value of retreat.
Retreat does not mean giving up. Retreat means pulling back – and, ideally, pulling back so you can push forward with renewed energy and fresh ideas.
Perhaps your company has grown, or you are about to launch a new product or service. Or it could be that you are facing ever stiffer competition in an increasingly tough market, and you need creative solutions.
Retreats could be the key to restoring the energy required to make the changes, execute the launch, and find solutions.
There is great and tangible value in getting away, reflecting, and having objective discussions around issues and ideas, both on a team and individual level.
Where are retreats held?
Individual or group leadership retreats are available in Charlotte, NC; Hilton Head Island, SC; or at your specified location. Dave will design a leadership retreat that is based on the needs of you and your team – to effectively re-ignite and re-engage your ability to get back in the game –and to play it better than ever before.
