David’s Story
The “coach who’s lived it” David Zemanek coaches leaders from the most prestigious companies, Nike, Google, Hitachi, Capgemini, to solopreneurs venturing out on their own.
David’s unique approach to transformation draws from spiritual, psychological, somatic, and athletic performance practices. It blends 35+ years of personal development and corporate leadership experience.
During his career, David has worked in banking and finance with companies like UBS and Reuters, innovation consulting with the legendary firm frog (designer of the Apple Macintosh and Disney Magic Band Experience), and startup Very Good Ventures.
David’s effectiveness comes from his knowledge that people accept their own truths, not when they're told to them, but rather when they get the opportunity to discover them for themselves.
David’s art as a coach is his ability to help people see themselves with clarify and depth in the context of their everyday challenges.
