Meet David

David Richards is a life-strategist, #1 international best-selling author, and speaker on personal development.

I grew up with jets and helicopters flying overhead, and the distant sounds of artillery landing in training areas, then earned my commission as a United States Marine Corps artillery officer. In Desert Storm and Restore Hope I learned discipline, courage, and resilience. For years I clung to one fierce idea that stretched my faith to the breaking point. In 2017 I found my voice with my first book, Whiskey and Yoga. When the world shut down in 2020, I hit bottom—and met the living power of Jesus Christ. That’s when I picked up my cross. I’ve been following Him ever since.

Testimonials

David has the ability to explain abstract ideas in a very understandable way. The experience has been beyond expectations; David has provided very valuable insights and suggestions I can use to enhance my leadership skills.

I found this program added a great amount of value to my work and personal life. David has the ability to lay things out in a way that is easily understood, my biggest takeaway for myself is to trust my instincts and realize that the answers are all within me. He taught me tangible ways to improve my daily habits, my work environment, my mindset and my overall outlook on life. The cadence of the meetings were great, it was nice to be able to choose my own timeslots and change them if needed.

I appreciated that David used his own experiences and examples to guide our discussions. I also appreciated that he would ask thought-provoking questions to guide me to find my own solutions that align with my leadership style and personal leadership goals rather than telling me how to do it myself. The questions/prompts guided self-reflection, which is important to me.

The coaching sessions with David were the icing on the cake! I really enjoyed our conversations and I have always brought something to think about it with me every time. Very valuable and the best investment of time.

Please provide an example of a change that has impacted the way you lead as a Team Leader: “Deeper learning about myself, how I may be perceived, and where I can improve. Show my agility by elevating and aligning equally my channel expertise to executives, peers, and partners.” “As a new leader, David taught me a lot. I have learned to be more structured in my approach to providing leadership to all of my team. I have learned to provide a platform of learning and engagement to all of my reports as they differ in learning styles and coach-ability. I have become more accountable to my calendar and my team’s time. We shared a few different tools and tricks to help me achieve this.”

Please provide an example of a change that has impacted the way you lead as a Team of Teams Leader: “Gained further insight to areas of personal brand to help raise my confidence to “lean in” and make bold moves – Starts with Trust, Character, Competence, Confidence, and Credibility. Reinforce my competency to have courage to challenge myself and others every day.” “I take more time to think about my actions and words before taking action or speaking up. I used to just speak my mind without taking into consideration who was in the room. Now I sit back and let my peers and leaders speak as best I can, let everyone else get their thoughts on the table and assert myself strategically.”

Did your coaching experience exceed your expectations? “These sessions will help me set clear objectives for business discussions, meetings, etc.: Focus on demonstrating confidence, executive presence and setting proper tone for the meeting. Be confident, demonstrate my knowledge and understanding of the business through listening first, deliver my expert insight, and drive ideas for execution.” “It did flat out. David and I had a great bond and frankly prior to meeting him, my expectations of doing this virtually, were not very high. But David is very interactive, engaging and he cares. Very organized and thought provoking. Great job D!”

About The Author

Born into a military family, I was blessed with the rare opportunity to experience diverse cultures and perspectives from an early age. After dedicating 15 years of service as a Marine Corps officer, I transitioned into the corporate world, thriving in leadership roles at a Fortune 500 company. Along the way, my passion for personal growth and human potential led me to teach yoga, helping others find balance and clarity in their lives.

As a #1 international bestselling author of four transformative books, I’ve discovered that true success is born from alignment—when your purpose, vision, and actions come together to create unstoppable momentum.

Becoming a coach was a natural evolution of my journey, allowing me to channel my experience and passion into empowering individuals to achieve massive success, shatter self-imposed limits, and create lives of purpose and extraordinary fulfillment.

Every step of my path has been guided by a simple belief: greatness is within each of us, waiting to be ignited. Let’s light the fire.
