Here’s why that matters for you and why working with David will change everything:
David Gerber
Mental Performance Coach for Athletes & Executives • Author • Partner at Novus Global • TEDx Speaker (1M+ Views) •
David has helped professional athletes and high-performing leaders break out of the life they’ve outgrown and step into radical aliveness, clarity, and courage.
A TEDx speaker with over 1 million views, David is known for his rare ability to blend meta performance coaching with ancient wilderness wisdom. As a certified lion tracker, he has spent weeks on foot in the African bush — facing real danger, studying presence, and learning what it takes to stay grounded when everything in your body wants to run.
His expeditions, combined with a decade of coaching at the highest levels, have shaped a transformational methodology that helps people confront fear, dismantle limiting stories, and unlock the untapped potential they’ve been sensing but unable to reach.
What makes David different:
The Coach
David coaches professional athletes, C-suite executives, and high-performing leaders using the Meta Performance™ methodology, helping them break free from limiting beliefs holding them back and transform to go beyond high performance.
The Tracker
As a certified lion tracker and creator of transformational lion tracking experiences in South Africa, he uses ancient tracking practices to meet executive coaching in the raw beauty of the African wilderness.
The Author
In his debut book, The Lion Is You, David shares his journey from a caged life to the African wilderness — and gives readers a framework for tracking their own path back to aliveness. Part memoir, part field guide.
The Speaker
TEDx speaker with over 1 million views. David speaks worldwide on breaking free of invisible limits, bridging high performance with human depth through neuroscience, psychology, and lived adventure.
The Leader
The same conviction that drives David's coaching drives his service: that every person deserves to come fully alive. He volunteers with Cross Purpose in Denver and has served vulnerable children and families across Asia, Central America, and Africa.
