About
My Experience
David Newkirk, Principal and Founder
With over 30 years of experience across large corporations, small businesses, and startups, I have consistently driven innovative thinking that transforms how industries and leaders adapt to evolving challenges. This has earned me recognition as a key thought leader among the world’s top consulting firms and a valued mentor in various international and U.S. entrepreneurial programs.
I am often invited to speak on how entrepreneurs can confidently and authentically integrate their true selves into their business practices. My speaking engagements include workshops, industry conferences, and podcasts.
In addition to my professional work, I am a certified Master Reiki Practitioner. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Finance from The Pennsylvania State University and have completed the UC Berkeley Management Program in Financial Services.
My Philosophy
I chose to step away from the corporate world to align my work with values I care deeply about: to treat people with respect, manage situations thoughtfully, and deliver meaningful experiences to individuals through genuine connection and by meeting each person where they are. I wanted to move away from environments driven by ego, materialism, and personal gain. Finding success as a two-time entrepreneur while embracing my empathy sparked a deeper commitment to supporting others who face similar challenges.
As an entrepreneur, I understand the emotional struggles that can arise when you're building or growing a business. Stress, self-doubt, unanswered questions, and complexity can all cloud your ability to move forward with confidence and clarity.
My approach helps you develop a deeper understanding of both yourself and your business in a way that feels aligned and authentic. By examining all aspects of your work and surfacing blind spots that may be limiting your progress, I support you in finding solutions that reflect who you are, so you can move forward with clarity, confidence, and a strong sense of direction.
