Your next evolution awaits…
I’m David Spinks, an exec coach for leaders who are ready to make a change, but feel stuck
You’ve known something is ready to change…
Maybe you've known for a while. There's a decision you keep circling, a role that stopped fitting, or a challenge that is calling to you, but you’re terrified to step into.
And yet you can't seem to make the move because leaving means risking failure, disappointing someone, or stepping into the unknown. It means leaving what has felt safe, even if you’re suffering. The real work isn't figuring out what to do next. It's understanding why you've been so afraid to choose yourself, and what becomes possible when you start.
That's what we do together. We slow down enough to identify the stories swirling in your mind. We untangle the fears and beliefs that have kept you stuck. And we figure out what you actually want. Not what you think you should want, not what would disappoint the fewest people, but what's actually true for you.
Clients come to me unable to make a decision or change they've been circling for years and leave having made it, with a clarity and groundedness they didn't know was possible. They stop shrinking in rooms where they used to make themselves small. They know their worth. They have conversations they've been avoiding for months. They go home and actually show up for the people they love.
The work is deep and practical. We don’t do introspection for the sake of introspection. We do it so you can be free and evolve into the way of working and living that you most long for.
A Different Kind of Coaching: Self-unfoldment
The self-improvement paradigm is broken. It has us believing that we are broken and need fixing. Self-unfoldment recognizes that you are already whole and complete.
You are already enough. You don’t have to do anything. You just have to remove that which impedes you from fully expressing yourself in your work and life.
My coaching, rooted in my training in parts work, somatics, and Zen, weaves together a range of modalities designed to help your most true, confident, and clear self emerge. Whether you’re scaling a company, leading a community, or navigating a big change in your career, we work with all that stops you from seeing and acting clearly, and clear the way for your innate wisdom.
This work is challenging, but also incredibly healing and life-giving. If you think you’re ready, I’d love to talk.
My Experience and Background
What Clients are Saying
*
What Clients are Saying *
“I'd been intellectually agonizing over a decision for months.”
In one of our early sessions, David guided me through a somatic practice that surfaced the answer my body already knew in about twenty minutes.
I didn't leave coaching as a different person as much as I left as someone who actually understands and likes the person he already is.
If you're in a season of real transition — career, identity, direction — and you want someone who can support and guide you through it, rather than spiraling, stalling, or overthinking — David is the person."
Mark Robinson, CEO, Brandtegic
“David is the most special kind of coach.”
I don’t even know how to describe him to people. His ability to listen, REALLY listen, and gently challenge me with thoughtful questions is unlike any coach I’ve ever worked with. Working with David opened up a whole new world of self-discovery and growth for me. It was an absolute honor.”
Danielle Letayf, CEO and Founder, Badassery
“I cannot overstate how helpful David Spinks has been as my exec coach.”
If you’re in need of a mentor who can unearth your own wisdom when it’s needed, but also tell you what works and what doesn’t when that’s appropriate, he is THE guy.
Greg Larkin, Founder, Punks and Pinstripes
“David has this incredible way of making you feel safe through it all.”
I started working with David to get help growing my community and business, but I ended up getting way more than just practical advice. Being a founder is a wild ride, and every day can feel like a new challenge. He’s not just focused on the business side, he really helped me grow as a person, too. Every session felt like a chance to reflect, get clear on my values, and figure out how to align them with my work. I always left our conversations feeling more grounded and ready to handle whatever came next. If you’re looking for someone who truly gets the ups and downs of leadership and can guide you through it with heart, I can’t recommend David enough.

FAQ
-
First things first, don't be nervous. We'll start with a free chemistry call to determine if there’s a mutual fit.
If we decide to move forward, you’ll get a thorough onboarding to help us get up to speed, reflect on your current state, and get clear on your goals.You can schedule that chemistry call here.
-
After onboarding, we’ll do a 90-minute kick-off, followed by three weekly sessions to get up to speed.
After the first four sessions, we switch to bi-weekly.
If clients need an additional session, no problem. There’s no charge for additional sessions between our biweekly sessions.
I’m available for my clients asynchronously via email, text, and voice message, and aim to respond within 48 hours (usually much quicker).

-
I ask for at least a three-month energetic commitment, as this work requires time to unfold. Typical engagements last 6-9 months, though I have clients who felt complete at three months, and clients I’ve been working with for years.
-
My standard rate is $3,500/month.
For clients who are earlier in their journey or require assistance, I offer sliding scale pricing.
I believe the right client shouldn't be kept out by budget, and the right investment should reflect the value of what we're building together. If you're unsure, let's talk.
