Work From The Inside Out 214: Inspiring and Catalyzing Extraordinary Outcomes with David Lancefield
David Lancefield is a catalyst, strategist, and coach to senior executives, professionals, and entrepreneurs. He also is a speaker, facilitator, and host of the Lancefield on the Line podcast. David enjoys helping leaders and their organizations achieve greater strategic clarity, enhanced resilience, breakthrough performance, and sustainable impact.
David grew up in modest surroundings with his sister and parents. Mom was an educator who ran the local school system. Dad was a nuclear physicist. David says his parents never pressured him or his sister to achieve anything specific or ‘be’ something other than to put in their best effort. Yet, David held himself to high standards and always enjoyed intellectual, complex challenges. He studied economics, earned a master's degree, and went to work for a large management consulting firm. By 32, he became one of the firm’s youngest partners.
In 2012, David and his wife welcomed their son into the world. He was born with significant brain damage, requiring a high degree of care. David has thoughtfully crafted a life where he brings excellence to his work and to his son’s life by providing home schooling and caregiving.
Today, David brings the skills, frameworks, and experiences of a strategy consultant, transformational leader, executive coach, and futurist to his work with CEOs, senior executives, professionals, and entrepreneurs from start-ups to corporate, private to public, local to global, and media to utility. These include the BBC, Microsoft, Royal Mail, Standard & Poors, Vodafone, NBC Universal, NHS, Virgin Media, Technicolor, IHG, and The Guardian.
