David Parsons's Linkedin Analytics

I didn’t start in a boardroom. I started in front-line hospitality... learning to lead under pressure, adapt on the fly, and deliver under chaos. Since then, I’ve led operations for global brands like Red Bull and Diageo, scaled experiential events across the U.S., and helped transform high-stakes hiring strategy for national organizations like YMCA of the USA. But my real education came from life itself... through hardship, reinvention, and resilience. That’s where I learned what leadership really demands: the ability to pause under pressure, connect deeply with individuals, and take action when it counts. Today, I work shoulder-to-shoulder with national organization leaders and consult with teams that are ready to align people, performance, and purpose. My focus is on supporting intelligent, resilient leaders as they navigate conflict, lead with clarity, and build organizations that endure. 🧠 What I do: • Resolve leadership bottlenecks that block execution • Design performance systems grounded in resilience, not burnout • Help organizations build trust, structure, and strategy • Equip teams with tools to lead through conflict and culture friction 🧩 Recent Work: Helped YUSA modernize hiring at the Director level and above: → Reduced scheduling time by 50% with structured video screening → Improved job clarity and candidate fit through brand-aligned postings → Designed behavioral interview tools and SMART goal templates adopted org-wide → Rebuilt trust with managers who had previously felt unsupported One of my mentors put it best: “David brings tenacity, professionalism, and a willingness to challenge the status quo, with real, practical results.” 💡 What I bring to the table: • A decade of experience across ops, sales, and people strategy • A bias toward action - with empathy, clarity, and strategic alignment • The ability to turn friction into frameworks, and tension into transformation If your team is stuck, disconnected, or wrestling with unclear leadership... Don’t just fix the symptoms. Start building resilience inside your organization. Let’s talk.
