Burnout at Work?

Maybe stress at work has become your constant, daily reality. You once felt energized by your vision, fueled by purpose.

Now, each day feels like a grind, and no amount of success seems to fill that void.

You’ve achieved the milestones, hit the earning goals, yet your energy is often depleted, and joy feels like a distant memory.

What once felt exciting now feels exhausting. Meetings drag on, projects feel repetitive, and burnout is no longer a buzzword—it’s your reality.

And as much as you’ve achieved, the toll on your mental and physical health is mounting.

Back In the Dating World After Divorce or a Break-Up?

Or maybe you’re re-entering the dating world after a divorce or breakup.

It can feel daunting. The rules seem to have changed, the landscape is unfamiliar.

If you’ve experienced heartbreak or betrayal, there might even be a fear of repeating past mistakes.

Trying to find a new partner can feel like a minefield, riddled with uncertainty, especially when carrying past relationships' weight.

That whisper grows louder over time.

Maybe you’re seeing friends and colleagues settle into meaningful relationships while you’re still on the outside, looking in, wondering if lasting love is even possible for you.

The dating apps and modern dynamics might seem foreign or insincere, leaving you even more alone and frustrated.

Challenges like these—dating after divorce, burnout, and searching for meaning—are difficult to navigate alone. They ask you to look deeper, to confront beliefs and emotions you may have long buried. They demand a level of honesty and introspection that few people are prepared for without guidance.

That’s where our work together begins. To find clarity amidst confusion, to reconnect with what really matters to you, and to rebuild from a place of strength and authenticity.

Whether you’re creating a new relationship that aligns with your values, rekindling your passion for your career, or uncovering a sense of purpose beyond success, I can help you get there.

I'm David Tian, and for almost 20 years, I've been working with leaders and high achievers to move through these pivotal moments with clarity, compassion, and purpose.

You don’t need to go through this alone.

Together, we'll explore the next steps that bring genuine fulfillment, whether in love, work, or life overall.

Private leadership coaching isn’t just about addressing personal challenges. Yes, we’ll work on navigating life transitions, overcoming burnout, and finding fulfillment beyond success—but there’s a professional advantage here as well.

Research shows that when executives and leaders invest in their personal development, the benefits ripple out, positively impacting their entire organization.

Studies consistently support the effectiveness of leadership coaching, with outcomes that speak directly to increased productivity, employee satisfaction, and retention.

According to a Metrix Global study, the ROI on leadership coaching is an astounding 788% per employee.

This investment doesn’t just pay off in personal growth. It also creates measurable returns in productivity and strengthens team cohesion and retention.

Executives who prioritize coaching report that they not only show up more effectively as leaders but inspire their teams to do the same. They become role models for resilience, empathy, and clarity.

For executives, having your company invest in leadership coaching is a win-win for everyone. You gain the clarity, connection, and balance needed to thrive both personally and professionally, while your organization benefits from your enhanced productivity, leadership skills, and ability to cultivate a collaborative, motivated team. It’s an investment in yourself that drives tangible, positive change for everyone you work with.

The Silent Wealth Drain

Senior professionals pride themselves on making smart, rational decisions. But here’s the truth: burnout, loneliness, and loss of meaning aren’t “soft issues.” They’re silent wealth drains.

Gallup research shows burned-out leaders lose at least $50,000 a year in energy, focus, and missed opportunities. Stretch that over a decade, and that’s half a million gone. Add the wealth hit of divorce — studies show divorced professionals lose 30–50% of their net worth — and the losses stack up into seven figures. And Harvard research warns that early retirement from an existential crisis can wipe out another $1–3 million in lifetime income.

I worked with a VP who came to me six months after divorce. On paper, he was making $450k. But he was drained. He’d already passed on a $2 million opportunity because he didn’t have the energy to chase it. Within nine months of our work, he closed his biggest account in years — and rebuilt his confidence in love.

Think about the benchmarks. Replacing a senior executive costs a company nearly $1 million. Replacing your own sense of purpose? That can cost more than that in lost years, income, and connection.

This is why coaching isn’t “support.” It’s leverage. It’s an investment that redirects the leaks and multiplies your returns.

And the rewards flow everywhere. When you reclaim your energy, your company gets its leader back. Your family gets a spouse and parent who’s truly present. And you reclaim millions in lifetime value — financial, emotional, and human.

That’s the real ROI.

I’m David Tian, a philosophical coach for leaders and executives, specializing in scientifically proven therapeutic methods.

My journey here has been anything but typical. I hold a Ph.D. from the University of Michigan and began my career as a university professor in philosophy, focusing on Asian philosophy, ethics, and moral psychology.

But life had different plans for me.

My own experiences—particularly going through a divorce—set me on a path of deep self-discovery. What began as a quest to “crack the code” on attraction led me to confront the emptiness of a hedonistic lifestyle.

I realized that real fulfillment comes not from superficial success but from the transformative power of unconditional love.

Today, I’m a happy and devoted husband, married now for several years. And being the father to a young son has given me a sense of purpose beyond what I ever imagined.

As a Brown University Certified Leadership & Performance Coach, Level 3 Certified Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy Practitioner, and an internationally renowned dating coach, I harness all the tools available in service of my clients.

In my private practice, I bring together a unique blend of the best evidence-based methods and modalities, including IFS Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Schema Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Gestalt Therapy, Existential Therapy, Robbins-Madanes Coaching, and the principles of classical and contemporary philosophy, among others.

These diverse approaches allow me to tailor the coaching experience uniquely to each client, helping them navigate life’s transitions, uncover authentic purpose, and build lasting, fulfilling relationships.

Over the past two decades, I’ve had the privilege of working with a wide variety of clients from more than 87 countries— from CEOs of Fortune 500 companies to co-founders of start-ups with billion-dollar exits, as well as award-winning artists and world champion athletes.

Each client brings their own challenges. And guiding them through personal and professional growth is a responsibility I cherish and take to heart.

My approach to leadership coaching is about more than just achieving results—it’s about finding fulfillment, connection, and balance in every area of life. If you’re ready to embark on a new chapter grounded in genuine connection and fulfillment, I’m here to guide you.

Important Details Before You Apply

Leadership coaching is intended for individuals in a relatively stable state of mental health who are ready to engage in deep, transformative work. Throughout our time together, I’ll provide guidance, mentorship, and support, but your autonomy and decision-making are central to the process. True breakthroughs begin when you take full responsibility for your decisions and actions during and outside our sessions.

Confidentiality

All communications in our private sessions are completely confidential, with only the following exceptions:

I am required to report any incidents of child abuse or elder abuse.
I have a duty to prevent harm to you or others if there is a disclosure of intent to cause harm.

If you’re ready to take the next step, I look forward to partnering with you on a transformative path forward.

If you’ve made it this far, you’re likely wondering about the investment for private coaching with me. This level of private coaching is a significant commitment.

I work primarily on a retainer basis with an average client engagement of 3 years.

Written summaries and breakdowns of each session, recordings of each session (optional), and private access for reasonable support between sessions are included with every coaching engagement on retainer.

For those who prefer to begin with a smaller commitment, a limited 3-session introductory engagmeent is available at $6500. It offers a direct experience of the coaching process before deciding on a longer advisory relationship. Availability for this option is limited, as priority is given to ongoing clients. You can indicate your interest in this option when submitting your application.

I can take on only a small number of clients at a time to ensure each receives my full focus and dedication.

The Mastery Year: Complete Access. Uncompromising Focus.

By invitation only, The Mastery Year is reserved for no more than three leaders worldwide each year. This private engagement includes our one-to-one private coaching, guaranteed entry into every live program I lead, full access to my online course library, bespoke VIP Immersions built around your most important goals, and a direct line for priority messaging available only at this level.

It is the sole path to the most exclusive, high-touch privileges I offer, with concierge-level support tailored entirely to you. Because of the depth of commitment required on both sides, consideration is extended only after demonstrated readiness — often through prior work together. The investment begins from $85,000 annually.

You’re the one people turn to for answers. Your team executes because of your vision.

But if you’re like many of the leaders I work with, there’s no one you can fully open up to. No true partner to challenge your thinking, expand your perspective, and stand with you when the stakes are highest.

That’s where this process begins.

The first step is a 20-minute Initial Consultation. This is not a sales call. It’s a focused conversation to see if we’re the right fit to work together, and whether you qualify for the next stage: a private conversation with me.

To reserve this consultation, there is a 500 USD deposit. This ensures we both commit to the process. The deposit is fully refundable as long as you show up for the consultation.

If we discover this is the right fit, you’ll be invited into a deeper conversation with me personally, where we’ll explore what’s possible together and whether you’re ready for one of the limited seats in my private coaching.

If you’re ready to take the first step, the next move is simple: Apply below, and book your initial consultation.

This is your moment. Let’s begin.

Here’s what I will not promise: I won’t promise you success—that’s not in my control. I won’t promise you results—that’s up to you.

But I do promise this: I will see you as the powerful person you already are—no matter what. I promise to believe in you, even on days when your self-doubt creeps in or when circumstances feel overwhelming. I promise to help you find clarity, even when life seems chaotic and out of control.

I work with those whose word is their bond, stronger than any contract. Our work together is built on integrity, trust, and commitment, and all compensation is non-refundable.

Our journey together continues only if we’re both a resounding “Yes.” Because from that place, real transformation—both in your life and your business—can unfold.
