David Ifield
Coaching is not what David Ifield does, it is who he is. ‘I have been assimilating knowledge and skills throughout my life with an inner knowing that at some level I wished to use this to help guide other people. It feels tremendously rewarding that I can incorporate my diverse experience and wisdom into my coaching processes’.
David has a gentle and peaceful manner that enables him to espouse his extensive knowledge in away that facilitates the client discovering their own journey. His open non-judgmental nature allows him to easily mix, relate and connect with people regardless of background. With David’s experience as a ‘Life Line’ counsellor and PSH therapist, he is particularly adept in helping his clients cut quickly through the outer confusion to the underlying blockages and then gently but firmly facilitating desired changes.
David offers his clients a strong business and technical background and has been an advisor to CEO’s of international companies. Although this can be a significant asset to those in the corporate world, he is equally at home with people who just know they are not realising their full potential whether in the business sector or personally.
In addition to knowledge gained from these more formal life areas, David is well aware of the wisdom he has gained from his life partner and six beautiful children. He comes from a large family and recognises this as a very fertile environment that has nurtured his interest in the human condition
David manages to balance a successful career with a love of music, art, sailing, bike riding, flying and swimming. David’s motto is:
“Only in focusing on the journey, will we ‘find’ our purpose and when we do, we may find that our purpose is to enjoy the journey – nothing more, nothing less”
(David Ifield 2008)”
And he lives it to the fullest everyday
