the missing integration
Most solutions treat this as either a business problem or a personal problem. It's both.
You've probably tried productivity systems, leadership training, maybe even therapy or yoga. They help temporarily, but the core issue remains: you're trying to sustain high performance while fighting against your own wiring.
I spent 20+ years in high-stakes business development, hitting every target while my body kept the score. The breakthrough came when I stopped treating professional success and personal well-being as separate challenges. They're not. When you understand how to work WITH your biology instead of against it, everything changes.
A Different Path Forward
I'm David Salo, I help leaders leverage their innate human intelligence to turn disruption into direction and struggle into strength.
Do you feel like what used to work just doesn’t anymore? I’ve been there—doing all the right things yet still feeling like something was missing.
Perhaps it’s a shadow of doubt when facing VIPs or leading big meetings, where confidence once lived. Maybe that once-energizing sense of urgency has twisted into persistent anxiety. Or maybe you’re torn between doing what’s right and what’s expected, weighed down by the constant strain of having to figure it all out. Whatever the challenge, part of you knows you can’t keep going this way.
If this resonates and you’re ready to find a better way, I can help. If you’re seeking more than just external success—if you want the unshakable confidence to handle anything—let’s start the conversation. Together, we’ll reconnect with your deeper intelligence and align your natural gifts with your professional demands so you can excel without compromising who you are.

Why THIS APPROACH Works
High-achieving professionals often excel at meeting external metrics while feeling increasingly disconnected from what matters most. This disconnect usually shows up as burnout, lack of direction, overwhelm, conflicting priorities leave you stuck, or a persistent feeling that something’s missing—symptoms of deeper misalignment.
With 20+ years as a strategic business development executive in the software and information industries, I’ve navigated these same waters. I exceeded revenue targets and achieved professional recognition—while learning firsthand that success at odds with our values comes at a steep cost to health, balance, and integrity.
I combine proven business experience with deep expertise in human development to help leaders create lasting change that feels both authentic and sustainable. These challenges aren’t just problems to solve—they’re invitations to rediscover what truly matters.
My three-phase approach helps you uncover how you’re built, what you’re built for, and how to get where you want to be. Together, we’ll integrate the fragmented parts of your life into a cohesive and purposeful path that’s both sustainable and uniquely yours.
