Meet Dave – Chief Exploration Officer, Master Coach, and Nature’s Biggest Fan David Graham isn’t your typical executive coach. Before founding EDGE3, he was captivating audiences as an actor, charming travelers as a cruise director, and navigating boardrooms as a marketing exec. Now, he’s just as likely to coach a CEO under a canopy of trees as in a boardroom. Why? Because Dave believes the clearest insights come when you step away from the noise and into nature.

With 30+ years of leadership experience, Dave is a trusted, inspiring coach to Canada’s top leaders. As Chief Exploration Officer of EDGE3 and faculty at Royal Roads University, he guides leaders and teams on transformational journeys blending reflection with outdoor adventure to uncover purpose and sharpen impact.

A triathlete and lifelong explorer, Dave helps others find their unique “EDGE” where clarity, courage, and performance converge. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
