 | David Frizzell is a team, leadership, communication and change consultant. He has worked with a bunch of different organisations, across a range of industries. David is the host of The Team Guru Podcast. Since 2015, the podcast has grown from a couple of hundred listeners to more than 20 thousand per episode. David pretends that he does the podcast for the sake of his listeners - but really he does it to quench his own, selfish thirst for new ideas. The work he has done developing leaders and advising on change across large programs from state government to multinationals together with the ideas he steals from his podcast guests, has turned David into an opinionated bore. In September 2019 David swam the English Channel. He will tell anyone, in detail, all about it. Even if they don’t look interested. |
