Executive Roundtables

Running a business comes with unique challenges and, sometimes, few people to turn to. David hosts Warren Averett’s Executive Advisory Roundtables in Birmingham and Tuscaloosa, where he provides a confidential, peer-driven space for business owners and executives to share ideas, tackle challenges and gain clarity on the issues that matter most.

David brings energy and expertise to his facilitated sessions and creates an interactive environment where leaders learn to turn challenges into opportunities for growth. In conflict resolution sessions, David guides participants through practical techniques for clear communication and empathy-driven problem solving, helping teams build trust and resilience. In business strategy workshops, he focuses on aligning vision with action, uncovering opportunities and equipping leaders with tools to navigate change and drive sustainable success. Each session is designed to be collaborative, actionable and tailored to real-world challenges.

Executive Coaching

David’s executive coaching is a hands-on experience focused on real results. Each engagement starts with a 360-degree evaluation to establish a baseline, then moves into customized coaching that targets gaps and drives meaningful progress. Programs typically range from 90 days to 18 months and are tailored to each leader’s goals. As a seasoned business owner, David brings real-world perspective to every session, helping executives and emerging leaders build strong teams, attract and retain talent, and improve overall performance. This is practical coaching delivered by someone who’s been there and done that.
