What Matters Most! Someone once asked me what differentiates me and my organization. I answered, "We focus on what matters most." Some say it's years of experience that makes us good at teaching, facilitating, coaching and mentoring others. I think the added magic ingredients are curiosity and active listening. What matters to you will likely be different from your counterparts. Engaging in active listening and curiosity helps me develop the right program and offer better results for my clients. As a certified facilitator and a performer for over 30 years, I've learned how to read and engage audiences large and small. Our programs are designed for active participation in a safe environment. One recurring comment we receive in our feedback, "I was dreading the meetings and ended up always looking forward to the next one". My goal is to use the extensive experience gained through a variety of Executive/Senior Management roles in the US Energy sector to help you achieve tangible results in the areas of Effective Leadership and Sales Growth. The KOAP team offers tailored development sessions for all levels within your organization specifically designed to deliver a culture that breeds: Effective Leadership Psychological Safety Increased Performance Effective Communication Innovation Creativeness My approach is hands-on to learning and development with proven effectiveness through sharing real-life experiences. Favoring a participative and consultative training style, which will give the delegates the opportunity to experiment through exercises, discussions, and other activities, I like to adopt a true facilitator role; challenging delegates and encouraging them to recognize self-driven solutions. As two previous colleagues put it: "He has a knack for sharing stories and plucking anecdotes from his past experiences that have extreme situational relevance. His instincts, coupled with his delivery style, make the lessons he shares stick and the teacher impossible to forget." "He is known for rolling up his sleeves and leading with action. He is highly customer-centric, and his teams view him as a respected and beloved leader. David’s skills, competencies, and general demeanor make him easy to work with and position him as one of the most talented leaders I know. He does excellent work with integrity, and he elevates the people fortunate enough to work with him."

I am a senior enterprise learning and development team leader with 15+ years of managing cross-functional education services business units at companies like TELUS, DDI, and Global Knowledge. I am also a seasoned leadership assessment and growth consultant, and succession planning advisor for companies such as GreenShield, Deloitte, Metrolinx, and Alectra. I bring a strong entrepreneurial focus and am adept at influencing senior leaders to push boundaries on how to cost-effectively design, deliver, and maximize AI-platform learner experience to give talent what they want, then they need it. If you can't measure it, it shouldn't be done. Some results I have delivered include positive engagement scorecard shifts, process improvement adherence, AI adoption practices, and inclusion and return to work cultural acceptance. I am energized by collaborating across technology-minded senior leaders and educators who value future-forward continuous learning techniques, coaching culture, and talent excellence.

What do you get when you take a creative person who happens to have a finance background and place him on your executive team in a part-time capacity? You receive an unbiased expert whose only focus are growth and profitability. Since 1993, Wyckoff has worked in over 20 vertical markets, in 12 countries and successfully executed marketing strategies to drive owner's equity and shareholder value. The catch, you can’t hire him as a W2. “Without margin, there is no mission” - Unlocking the margins through new and creative marketing strategies is his only business focus.
