As the founder
and CEO of Outfield Leadership, Dave McKeown speaks, coaches, and
trains organizations to build cultures of authentic, results-driven
leadership, moving from execution to excellence.
When I heard the name of Dave’s
business, I immediately thought of baseball, but then I wondered
what would the outfield have to do with leadership? So, of course,
I asked him. The first thing you need to know is that while Dave
lives in California today, he grew up in Belfast, Northern Ireland,
towards the back end of the turmoil there. Those early years
probably influenced his views of leadership and the outfield? Well,
you can find out by listening to today’s podcast episode, if you
are curious.
When he graduated from
high school, Dave spent two years doing volunteer work and
traveling throughout India, Australia, and the United States.
Returning to the UK, he went to Glasgow Scotland to study business
and became quickly interested in the human side of
business. His Dad was a
consultant in the leadership development space which also sparked
his interest. After graduation, he worked for the global consulting
firm, Accenture in Hong Kong. Later, he moved to become the COO and
then President of Predictable Success, a boutique consultancy
focusing on helping complex businesses achieve
scalability. Dave then
moved to the US and joined his Dad’s consulting business. Four
years ago he started Outfield Leadership.
Today, Dave helps
individuals, teams, and organizations achieve results by doing
ordinary things extraordinarily well. He is also the
author of The
Self Evolved Leader, Elevate Your Focus and Develop Your People in
a World that Refuses to Slow Down, a practical
guide to help you elevate your focus, develop your people, and get
more done.
