Dave Scholes is the founder of Six Connections, an organisation built around improving mental wellbeing through meaningful conversations, stronger relationships and everyday human connection. His work draws directly on lived experience of trauma and loss, giving it a rare authenticity that goes beyond theory.

Dave's work highlights a simple but powerful message: performance is not just about what we do, it's also shaped by how we think, how we communicate and how well we support each other. Through practical stories and relatable tools, Dave helps people recognise the impact of small actions, starting conversations, building trust and creating the kind of connection that allows people to perform at their best.

His focus on connection, mental fitness and supportive environments complements PEAK4's Focus and Recover pillars, reflecting the belief that sustainable performance comes from looking after the whole person, not just the parts that are easiest to measure.
