I combine deep listening with practical frameworks like GROW, Design Thinking, OKRs and change management tools from Prosci. My approach is flexible but focused, meeting you where you are and helping you move forward with clarity and aligned action.

Coaching philosophy
I see coaching as a partnership that turns honest reflection into decisive action. Most limits start in the mind, yet the mind is remarkably plastic. Together we examine what is true now, challenge unhelpful stories, and design experiments that align with your values so you can create the results and identity you want.

Clients who would be a good fit
Startup founders, SMB CEOs and mid-career professionals considering a pivot to entrepreneurship are often a strong fit. I work best with curious, growth-minded people who are ready to question old patterns and take aligned action. If you are all in on becoming the leader you are capable of being, we will work well together.

What makes a coaching relationship successful?
Trust, honesty and a shared commitment to growth. Coaching works when you are willing to be transparent, open to challenge and prepared to do both the inner work and the practical work between sessions.

Example transformation story
A freelancer working 80 plus hours a week came to me burned out and unsure how to scale. In 3 months, he launched his own company, hired support, doubled his revenue and cut his hours in half, freeing up time for family, health and a more balanced life.

Leví Barbosa
Co-Founder and Managing Director | WezOps
Working with David Lovejoy as my executive coach brought a level of clarity and alignment I didn’t know I was missing. With that came real change: I cut my hours nearly in half, hired my first team members, and started building a business that supports my life rather than consumes it. It’s been a powerful reset.
