During the course of the past eight years, I’ve had the privilege of facilitating parts of David Carter’s ongoing quest to resonate with, and become, the best version of himself.
In 2003, within minutes of leaving his first session, the phone rang and David began quizzing me about resonance and the ‘Quantum breakthrough’ that had just occurred for him, with the eagle-eye intensity that is his unique gift. This was my first experience of being on the receiving end of the enthusiastic, enquiring mind that makes David such an extraordinary mentor!
David has an instinctual ability to transform and an innate talent for causing others to do the same. As he integrates and shares where he’s been, and all that he’s learned along the way, he continues to engage whatever it takes to achieve mastery as the leader, mentor, parent, friend, partner and human being that he aspires to be. David openly seeks and welcomes the kind of feedback that supports his growth. And, in his commitment to perpetually raise the bar and live into his vision of what’s possible for himself, he inspires others to do the same.
David is completely open and transparent about his journey. Sharing the powerful learnings gained from his ‘failures’ and an awareness of his own limitations, as much as his successes, David challenges current discourses around ‘leadership’.
He invites leaders to join his network to collaborate in creating, and resonating with, a new leadership paradigm. If what David is modeling provides us with some clues, our future leaders place self-awareness amongst their top values, alongside generosity, caring, empathy, respect, and a heartfelt connection with and appreciation of the other, that is reflected in the high esteem with which his clients and peers hold him.
