DAVE UPSON
Mental Health Advocate, Mindfulness Practitioner,
Emotional Intelligence Facilitator and Coach
As a writer, adult educator, coach and public speaker, I have always enjoyed encouraging others to pursue continuous improvement in their personal and professional lives.
I am a qualified Business and Executive Coach, Fellow of the Institute of Learning Professionals, Mental Health First Aid Instructor and a Certified Emotional Intelligence Practitioner.
I am a passionate mental health advocate and particularly enjoy helping men to understand the importance of self-care and sharing their vulnerabilities with others who can support them.
I help leaders and managers to discover more powerful ways of connecting and communicating with customers and team members.
Mental Health
Let’s talk about how your organisation is supporting and sustaining the mental health of the people who make the business work.
Emotional Intelligence
Increasing the Emotional Intelligence awareness of your people increases productivity, service metrics and strengthens leadership.
Let’s talk about mental health and resilient people
Developing the skills of self-awareness, awareness of others, self-management and social awareness brings a new level of functionality to workplace teams. Supporting mental health in that process reinforces the outcomes for the long-term.

Looking for an interesting topic to raise awareness of caring for others in your organisation? Talk to Dave about Emotional Intelligence, Mental Health or Mindfulness in the workplace. Short engaging sessions that will inspire interest to pursue the topic
Coaching
Individual or small group coaching can lead to a rapid improvement in applying positive changes to the way we operate within a team. Dave has over twenty years of coaching experience and his relaxed and conversational style of coaching will help your people set an action plan for growth.
Mental Health Infrastructure
A good mental health culture requires more than a calendar event once or twice per year. You might consider introductory workshops to increase awareness. Perhaps you need help to create mental health support systems or training for team members to be available as Mental Health First-Aiders in your organisation.
Developing Emotional Intelligence
We can start by simply exploring an introduction to EI and inspiring interest in the topic with your team. You may already understand the benefits of strong EI and launch a continuous improvement program to build a resilient and switched on team.
“Dave ran a programme on emotional intelligence for my team in Shanghai. It opened our eyes as how to further expand and improve our approach to guest service excellence. I highly recommend his programme” Steve Finlayson, General Manager, Radisson Blu New World, Shanghai.
“I regularly engaged Dave as a consultant for over ten years in my previous role as a National Manager. His ability to relate to diverse individuals is a strength. I also asked Dave to assist with difficult or sensitive client relationships and he demonstrated an impressive capacity to engage the client and allow them to have their position understood and validated.” Alan Smith, Partner at Macsmith and Associates.
“I have worked with David over many years and he is one of the most genuinely client focused business consultants I have encountered and he has enormous energy to make things happen.
