About David Barry

Hi There! This is David. I appreciate you taking the time to learn a little about me and my story.

No not the famous writer and comedian. I grew up in a small town in Michigan and life was pretty routine. I came from a happy family, worked hard, excelled in school, and had a great career in public education leading organizations and teams for optimal performance and learning. Along the way, I earned a master’s and doctorate in educational leadership with a focus on leadership development.

Throughout my life, I have eånjoyed coaching, helping, and teaching people how to have the life they always wanted and to increase their influence and focus on their life purpose. I retired and pursued some of my personal interests including business ownership, adjunct professor at several universities, and serving on non-profit boards.  Looking back on my life, I have always had the greatest joy in helping and serving other people.

With that in mind, I embarked on a journey of personal mastery including workshops, seminars, working with coaches, seeking counseling, and other learning opportunities. I simplified my lifestyle, developed new strategies, and other life hacks using ancient wisdom and modern science.

This website is the home of my life's work. I want to share resources, write and learn with the primary pursuit of answering the question, “How can we live better?”

As I said earlier, I like to learn from leaders, entrepreneurs and other top performers from many different fields to synthesis the habits, health hacks, and tips that can be applied in very practical terms to you and me. Along my own journey I try out various concepts, and routines in all areas of my life using habits through stories and personal experiments.

“I don’t claim to have all the answers and I still have a lot to learn but I am willing to share what I am learning with you along the way.”

I like to help the next generation of leaders, business owners, entrepreneurs, and influencers perform at high levels so they can show up and have more impact.

I teach, speak, and encourage people to develop habits for personal growth that encompasses ancient wisdom with modern science for wellness, spiritual growth, peak performance, and optimal learning.

I have also been married for 39 years, and  I am a father of four adult children and two granddaughters.

Some of my past clients have described working with me as the best decision they’ve ever made. I would love to help you if I can.

Your story is unfolding in a much bigger story that is being played out. You can achieve at high levels and achieve your goals by taking small steps every day to get there. Stay focused on the future, live in the present, and keep learning.
