My Journey to Coaching

Hello, my name is David Cotton and I am passionate about helping ​you discover and embrace your most authentic self.

Throughout my military and corporate careers, as well as my personal ​life, I have faced numerous challenges and navigated many transitions ​and transformations, including multiple major career changes, and ​finding my true authentic self.

In my 40+ year career I’ve been mentoring and coaching people to ​achieve their personal level of excellence and success. As a retired US ​Air Force brigadier general, former senior executive in the Department ​of Defense, corporate vice president, consultant, and active leadership ​roles in personal development and advocacy/charity organizations, I ​bring a wealth of life experience and a down-to-earth, practical ​perspective to my coaching practice.

I know what it's like to feel lost or stuck and to search for purpose and ​fulfillment. I am committed to creating a safe, non-judgmental space ​for you to explore and grow.

What clients are saying about David Cotton Coaching

From Bob: David is an amazing coach! He really listens, ​and was able to sort through my mess, and hone in on ​what was holding me back. He gives me real motivation ​when I’m losing my way. More importantly, he’s kept ​me on track and demanded accountability, which was ​key to helping me reach my goals. If you need a ​compassionate “kick in the pants”, paired with some ​valuable life strategy, David Cotton is your man!

From George: Talking with David and using his ​resources likely saved my life. I am forever grateful! At a ​time where I felt completely alone and isolated. He ​helped me realize that I am in fact not alone and my ​situation is common amongst LGBT men. Talking to him ​was extremely comforting because he had been ​through my situation and made it out on the other side ​as a better man and human.

From Phillip: David helped me get through the ​challenges in my life: controlling my eating habits, ​difficulty with co-workers, and finances. Others ​observed since talking with David, my attitude has ​become more positive and upbeat.
