A bit about me

Brief Bio

David Lederman is an international speaker, future of work innovator, author, and executive mentor, who challenges the widespread assumption that performance/productivity and well-being must be inversely related, like two ends of a seesaw.

Following major family trauma, burnout, and mental health issues that nearly cost him his marriage, his career as a tech leader, and his health, he embarked on a 7-year journey, researching and interviewing professionals from all walks of life about the user experience of high-performance, well-being, and fulfillment.

What he uncovered transformed his life and his purpose.

His groundbreaking approach helps high-achieving professionals feel fully alive, fully aligned, and deeply fulfilled TODAY and EVERY DAY on the path to success, without sacrificing productivity or resorting to work-life balance hacks. His work integrates neuroscience and psychology with mindfulness and ancient/indigenous wisdom.

David has spoken at or worked with clients from companies large and small including Google, Xerox, BCG, and MIT. His book, “Trust Life? Overcome the 4 critical life paradoxes standing between you and trusting life,” will be out in the Fall of 2024 and he has been asked to do a TED talk in Europe later this year.
