A Brief History

Throughout his career, David Ling, founder of David Ling Consulting Inc., recognized a common challenge faced by many organizations: managers are often promoted for their ability to complete tasks but lack the necessary training to manage and lead effectively. Providing timely and respectful critical feedback is vital to the health of any company and its employees, yet many managers struggle due to inadequate support and development in this area.

David’s extensive experience in conducting quarterly performance evaluations, delivering constructive feedback, and setting clear workplace expectations for direct reports has given him firsthand insight into the transformative impact of effective leadership. These practices not only improved organizational performance but also fostered a positive, engaging work environment.

Recognizing that many managers find it difficult to have tough conversations and address performance issues, David leveraged his expertise in performance management, leadership coaching, and employee engagement. Through David Ling Consulting Inc., he now offers tailored HR and Labour Relations services to help companies overcome these challenges and build stronger, more capable leaders.
