David Braithwaite

Whether it’s in his business, his coaching, or his relationships, David knows empathy is the secret to helping people achieve the life they’ve always wanted.

A financial planner, BBC Radio contributor, and conference speaker with multiple businesses under his belt, David discovered a love for making money by selling things very early on in life, and he lives by the ethos that if we do enough of the right thing and add value, then the money will follow.

For all his big accomplishments and front stage roles, however, David remains utterly transfixed by the small moments that make up our lives and the shared experiences, both positive and negative, that tie us together—by what happens behind the scenes of our success. He believes it’s these stories that make us who we are, but we’ll never learn from one another or connect in meaningful ways unless we have the courage to share them.

Informed by this belief in the power of story and community, David’s approach to coaching involves listening generously and facilitating thoughtfully. In other words, it’s all about empathy. He’s a master at putting himself in his clients’ shoes and making them feel seen, heard, and supported enough to grow. His guiding purpose in everything he does? Helping people reach their goals.

David resides in Sevenoaks, Kent.
