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.
As a retired US Air Force brigadier general, former senior executive in the Department of Defense, corporate vice president, consultant, and active leadership within personal development and advocacy/charity organizations, I bring a wealth of life experience and a down-to-earth, practical perspective to my coaching practice.
