Published: Dec. 9, 2019, 9:30 a.m.

A former Consulting Actuary to Fortune 100 companies \u2013 including Sony Music, Chanel, and Exxon \u2013 David left his cushy Park Avenue job 20 years ago to build the world\u2019s largest coaching business. He became #1 on Google for \u201clife coaching\u201d, serving an audience of 150,000 coaches, and coaching thousands of hours across 12 countries.

Alongside his clients\u2019 successes, David is no stranger to overcoming challenges himself, having overcome a full collapse of his paraglider and a fractured spine, witnessing the death of his sister at age seven, severe anxiety and depression, and a national Gong Show!

He is the author of \u201cGet Paid For Who You Are,\u201d with foreword by Jack Canfield. He was nominated to the exclusive Transformational Leadership Council alongside such thought leaders as Don Miguel Ruiz, John Gray, and Marianne Williamson.

David believes that the tough conversations we avoid, are our doorways to confidence, success, and love. They become the defining moments which shape our world. He coaches high performing entrepreneurs, executives and teams \u2013 and now prison inmates \u2013 to create amazing results and deep connection. One tough conversation at a time.
