David Shar is the founder of Illuminate PMC and creator of the FTF Burnout-Proof Culture Model. He is a keynote speaker, consultant, and trainer specializing in helping organizations improve their leadership and culture, combat burnout, and design meaningful work. David combines decades of leadership experience with the latest psychological research to help you attract, retain, and motivate top talent.

David holds his bachelor\'s in human resource management from Colorado State University and his master\'s in industrial / organizational psychology from the University of Maryland \\u2013 College Park. He is a current doctoral candidate in business psychology at The Chicago School of Professional Psychology where he is studying the interaction between meaningful work and burnout.

David tells me about his life growing up in Baltimore and how he believes his grandfather, a Holocaust survivor, helped shape who he is today. We talk about the meaning of life and how purpose is the balance between being and doing. We discuss the collective purpose of humankind. While this description lends itself to being thought of as a weighty conversation, it is easy to follow and understand due in part to David\\u2019s ability to tell a good story that is both interesting and illustrative.
