David Rodgers, Executive Team Consultant

For 25+ years, I have specialized in what I love – assisting top level teams and leaders to identify and implement their optimal company cultures and build executive, middle manager, and functional teams that produce and sustain rapid breakthrough results. Prior to joining IMPAQ, I held operational leadership roles in manufacturing, product development, marketing and program management. This became my foundation for the practical, down-to-earth consulting services and coaching I provide. My passion is helping people succeed beyond what they imagined possible..

As both a contributing developer and implementer of B STATE Team Accountability Systems, Leadership Solutions and Employee Engagement, I have worked with a wide range of clients including Michelin, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Kaiser Permanente, Apple Computer, Experian, Chevron, Shell Oil, Pacific Bell, Pacific Gas & Electric, and the United States Navy. My education is as wide-ranging as my experience and includes a Bachelor of Science in Physics, a Masters in Applied Psychology, and a Doctorate in Spiritual Science.

My clients comment that not only did I help them clarify their needs and successfully execute their strategies, but the improvements are lasting. As one leader said, “Your approach simply makes sense. I always knew this on some level, but you clearly showed us step-by-step how to accomplish our goals rapidly.” I do this by starting with the current situation, the implications for the business, and the people involved. Then together, my clients and I create the conditions in which people individually and collectively clarify their direction, find their full capacity, and develop belief and confidence in their ability to succeed.
