Meet Dave
As a lifelong personal development enthusiast, Dave has moved into the career which 'perfectly' matches his skills and passion - walking the path of contentment and facilitating others to do the same!
When Dave graduated with his Masters Degree in Occupational Therapy, maximizing one's ability to function in their environment, his focus was on geriatrics. Dave worked with hundreds of people aged 70-106 and witnessed wisdom that was present, but also gained wisdom from witnessing things that were missing. So many of these beautiful souls were living in discontent; unhappy with life, relationships, physical ability, along with many other things. Dave was inspired to create legacy for these people, to end generational pain, to end human suffering, and help people open up to endless possibilities.
Men's Group Vancouver was formed. And alongside it, a curriculum to help us become aware of our habits, recognize our stories, rewrite our scripts, and live INTENTIONALLY. A course was born....
The initial run of this course led to a switch of focus. One group member, a local COO, said, "You've changed my life. I want you to come do this for my company." Dave switched from his focus on seniors to individual and corporate coaching.
The course ran in several manifestations with several groups, and has, thus far, run with men and women separately. Dave also had the great privilege to run the course internationally, in Bali, Indonesia. While living in Bali, Dave continued to practice individual and corporate coaching while maximizing his skill base through reading the many authors who help guide us to more intentional living, meditating, parenting, volunteering, leading, reflecting, husbanding, and growing. This opportunity is an example of how Dave has shed the idea that life happens to you and adopted the philosophy that life happens through you!
"I used to be an 18 hours per day, seven days a week busy body. And I loved my life. But I didn't realize how much was missing until I took the time to reflect, to recognize the role my habits played in my life. Taking the time allowed me to see what was missing, to practice all that I preach, and to learn the 'right' lesson from everything that is constantly going on around me. My life is a mirror, and I can settle into the beauty of it all if I put on the glasses through which I want to see the world each morning. AND I can spend time with my children before they are much less interested in me.
Why am I here? To love and be loved - so why did I have so many things on my to-do list that aren't related to LOVE? I don't anymore! Want to join me on the other side of the curtain? The water is warm...."
Love,
Dave
