Our Team

David Craig Utts - Leadership Alchemist - Founder and Principle

I am a Leadership Alchemist, a Transformation Catalyst, a Master of Influence, a Speaker, and a Leadership Framework Innovator. With a rich career spanning over 40 years in human development, psychology, leadership development, and organizational change, and as a masterful leadership coach, I am dedicated to empowering leaders and executives to massively improve their impact as leaders.

Throughout my journey, I have helped leaders become more self-aware, focused, confident, and visionary. My mission is to assist my clients in inspiring greater innovation and efficiency by deepening trust and becoming masters of collaboration. A fun fact about me: I spent six transformative months studying Eastern philosophy and meditation in India and moved to Minnesota to marry the love of my life after living in Maryland for over 60 years.

As a Leadership Alchemist, I blend 25 years of expertise, innovative frameworks, and a unique capability to help my clients bring forward their most natural and influential expression of leadership to ensure they achieve outstanding results and inspire the best in those around them.

In my Leadership Blueprint. The Enlighted Leadership Method Applied (ELSA), I take a holistic and practical approach to help my clients develop leadership mastery. I firmly believe that how we do one thing is how we do everything. Business owners, leaders, executives, and visionaries partner with me to master the art and science of organizational transformation and leadership innovation.

I help executives quickly enhance their impact by clarifying the leadership landscape, leading to increased awareness, focus, confidence, and effectiveness. My role is to guide you on a customized leadership journey toward impactful growth, organizational alignment, purposeful innovation, and deep resilience. Here’s the bottom line: without intentional and strategic focus, followed by bold execution, nothing changes.

Finally, as a thought leader in neuro-executive development and a keynote speaker, I am a regular speaker on topics that focus on the Neuro-Reset approach to leadership development, catalyzing enlightened leadership, growing executive presence, strengthening influence, building cultures that attract and retain top talent, and helping organizations become 'trauma-informed.
