Flexible Thinking

Dave has the ability to tune into his audience allowing them to step out of their roles and think creatively about future opportunities, developments and products.

About Dave

Dave’s ability to enter into a rapport with those he works with allows him to rapidly gain an empathetic understanding of issues, expectations and the subtleties of the situations. As an experienced facilitator, he is accustomed to working across a broad spectrum of new and senior teams that enables them to climb to new heights.

Working in such environments has allowed him to develop techniques to deal with the inevitable issues that arise in senior ‘high performing’ teams; collisions of egos, hidden agendas and personal ambition to name but a few. He is comfortable with ambiguity, uncertainty and the sometimes inevitable scepticism that can emerge in these circumstances.

Dave’s approach enables him to safely confront tough issues, hold people to account, gain commitment and acceptance of personal or collective responsibilities. His impartiality will allow you to see the ‘wood from the trees’ and find your path to success.

This site contains a glimpse into just some of the services Dave provides, yet with no one set of circumstances ever alike he will work with you to put together bespoke development interventions that will allow you to find innovative solutions and reach your true potential.

Leadership Lead by VIP - Vision Involve Produce

Leadership Lead by VIP - Vision Involve Produce

by Paul Abrams and Dave Thornton
“The world is unlikely to get less complex in the near future and hence the challenge of leadership will grow. Unfortunately, leadership has a mystique it simply does not deserve, and this puts off the many who actually lead without recognising it! This unassuming book, by Paul Abrams and Dave Thornton, debunks much of the mythology and should encourage the uninitiated to go forth and lead!”

What Others Say

Here are what some of Dave’s clients are saying about him.

“Among the many great things about Dave Thornton is his versatility in the development he offers and his range of skills. He is at home with a group of newly qualified doctors as he is with a group of senior consultants, GPs or managers. Personable, entertaining, knowledgeable and challenging.”
Peter Lees,NHS Medical Director and Director of Leadership
“I never considered myself creative, yet being asked to plan a service whilst being coached by Dave proved a more insightful experience than I could have imagined and caused me to rethink what are now obvious errors in our planning.”
General Practioner
“Dave's coaching and facilitation continues to help our graduates and newly appointed Consultants gain personal insights and develop approaches to problem solving, building relationships and their professional development, thus allowing them to excel.”
Jill Sandford,NHS Scotland
“Dave Thornton Ltd worked with our Board, strengthening appropriate behaviours and creating time for us to think and discuss in depth those challenges facing us in times of great change, they were both professional and insightful to work with.”
Angela Monaghan,NHS Chair
“Dave encourages involment. His open and relaxed style draws you into his coaching so that before you know it you are putting everything into it - and the cumulative effect of working with him is how you realise just how much you are getting out in terms of clarity and in realising you have just about everything you need to achieve what you want to. It's both a supportive reality check and massive confidence boost - and well worth the effort.”
Paul Odonnell,Head of Private Banking, London
