About David Kummer
I believe that peace, joy, and fulfillment aren’t things we have to chase. They’re already available to us—if we can learn to release what blocks them.
My path to coaching has been anything but linear. I earned a BA in Psychology from UC Santa Barbara, where I first became fascinated with how we think, feel, and grow. But my deepest learning has come through real-world experience—not just through study.
For the past 25 years, I’ve been a business owner, navigating the ups and downs of leadership and life. I’ve also been an active member of Vistage for 18 years and YPO for 15 years—two extraordinary communities where I’ve heard and processed more than a thousand business and personal challenges shared by peers. Those conversations taught me something no classroom ever could: beneath all the surface differences, we’re all wrestling with similar inner struggles—and seeking the same things.
In 2021, I became certified in Positive Intelligence (PQ) Coaching through Shirzad Chamine’s program, adding practical tools for helping clients break free from self-sabotaging patterns and develop greater resilience, clarity, and joy.
Peace Coaching is a natural extension of this lifelong work. My approach is grounded, compassionate, and direct. I help clients see where they’re caught in unnecessary suffering or conflict—and guide them toward living with greater ease, purpose, and abundance.
I don’t offer quick fixes. I offer a partnership—a safe space to do the real inner work that leads to lasting transformation.
If you’re ready to explore what’s possible, I’d be honored to walk that path with you.
