David Parke brings an unusual set of experiences to the profession of coaching. As a Navy Diver and Army Ranger he spent most of his adult life in the military facing unique challenges and learning how to persevere in the most arduous conditions. He later spent 6 years in Iraq and Afghanistan as a military consultant training Iraqi and Afghani soldiers how to develop the skills necessary to take action and overcome their own fears. His techniques for overcoming fear and achieving success were developed in the most unforgiving environments imaginable.

Throughout his journey, David has sought out the most cutting edge techniques for self-growth and personal change. As a student of Buddhist psychology he offers a compassionate and mindful view of the human condition and the challenges that each of us face. Some of the tools that David uses are hypnosis, Neuro-linguistic Programming, Emotional Freedom Technique, mindfulness exercises, guided meditation and heart breathing.

He is also a mindfulness meditation instructor along with Richard Nongard at their website www.mindfulnessmeditation.org.

Today, David combines traditional life coaching with an approach called Strategic Intervention, which is a distinctive blend of therapeutic and intervention techniques taught by self-help guru Tony Robbins and renowned family therapist, Cloe Madanes. He is considered by many of his peers to be one of the foremost experts on fear and has pioneered a number of methods to help people overcome the stress, anxieties and phobias that hold them back.

David’s extraordinary techniques aid his clients in redirecting behaviors and breaking the destructive patterns that have gone uninterrupted throughout their lives. His belief that there is a path to every solution and a solution to every problem has been a driving force for him in his coaching career. He’s developed strategies to tackle issues in all aspects of the human experience; from relationship and familial difficulties to career concerns and everything in between. He combines his compassion for his fellow man and woman with a no-nonsense approach to finding contentment, no matter the subject or struggle. David has made it his mission to help people transform themselves and by extension, their lives in order to attain the fulfillment they desire.

David’s message is simple: It’s easy to allow our fears to control us, but if we are to be truly happy, we must realize that it is only our relationship with fear that hold us back.
