Who Is Blair David?
People often ask this question. “Blair David” is not a single person. It is the amalgamation of the spirit of “everyday leadership” demonstrated by two role models of Natalie J Sayer.
Barbara Blair was the head librarian of Winters Library in Bellbrook, OH, and Natalie’s first boss. Every day to patrons of the library, young and old, she led in an impactful way, modeling customer connection, listening, humor, resilience, and trust.
David J Cleary was Natalie Sayer’s maternal grandfather. Born in 1900, he overcame adversity throughout his life with perseverance, life-long learning, humor, resilience, and optimism.
The Blair David Company stands for Everyday Leadership. Our organizations need capable people to lead at all levels. We help individuals (and teams) to evolve and refine how they lead – in every moment of every day.
