David Young
David is an experienced development practitioner, both as a facilitator, executive coach and creator of impactful management and leadership programmes.
He has over 30 years’ experience in both the public and private sector, working within the NHS since 1998 in community, acute and social care settings. For most of that time he has also led teams of professional colleagues helping to drive organisational change through interventions such as action learning, appreciative inquiry and team development.
David has an MSc in Human Resource Development and is a qualified user of several psychometric tools, including Myers Briggs Type Indicator (Step 1 & 2). He is also a keen actor and has undertaken some professional work in theatre and film.
David loves working with individuals or teams to build levels of engagement, satisfaction and an overall sense of purpose with their working lives. He is passionate about ensuring all his interventions have an underlying goal to foster inclusivity and cultural competence. Utilising his own experiences in managing complex change, David helps people to look at things from different perspectives, explore options creatively and develop pragmatic solutions.

“I have had the pleasure of working with David Young as part of the same team and as a participant on a programme he has facilitated. We worked together in the NHS during challenging times (COVID 19) and David navigated uncertainty and ambiguity superbly and supported others to do the same…
Much of the work undertaken by David is bespoke work and he is exceptionally client-centred ensuring that all solutions/interventions are designed in collaboration with key stakeholders. I admired his ability to build really great relationships in the wider system and he truly modelled collaborative leadership…
In his facilitation David is able to strike the balance between support and challenge and works to truly connect with participants. Working with David was a joy and I learned much from his insightful interventions.”
