Years ago, David was sent on a journey, but not of his own choosing or making. A broken marriage would end one career as a church pastor, but by God’s grace, it would also open the door to another.

Executive leadership coaching was not on David’s life plan, but thirty years later, after hundreds of one-on-one coaching sessions and thousands of hours of learning more, it has changed that life plan. Since that devastating turn in the road, David has not only crafted a successful leadership coaching business but has enjoyed every minute of it. Why? Because it has fulfilled the purpose of his life. Written on the wall of his office, it reads:

To be available, to provide tools, to equip leaders, to do good to the glory of my God.

David has been blessed with a passion for transforming the lives of those he meets, especially those who lead others. Hulings & Associates started out as a business but has turned into a calling. Along with some amazing associates, David looks to find a way to equip leaders to get from point A to point B. This is why he refers to himself as a leadership coach.

The etymology of coach is that of a buggy, which was created to take you from where you are to where you want to go. Whether he is speaking, writing books and/or training modules, designing individualized leadership tools, or conducting one-on-one coaching sessions, David’s desire is to make sure clients and organizations archive their desired ends and reach their planned destinations.
