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.
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.
And then there’s the existential unease.
Call it a midlife crisis, a transitional phase, or just the reality of reaching a new stage of life—it’s that inner restlessness that whispers: Is this it? Is there more to life?
With these challenges comes a sense of disconnection—from yourself, from others, from life itself.
Success might be there on paper, but inside, there’s an aching sense that something crucial is missing.
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 can 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.

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.
88%
of leaders report a significant increase in productivity after coaching.
63%
experience improved working relationships with their peers.
71%
note an improved relationship with their supervisors.
77%

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 Leadership & Performance Coach Certification candidate, 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 multi-billion-dollar ventures, 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.

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.
All communications in our private sessions are completely confidential, with only the following exceptions:
If you’re ready to take the next step, I look forward to partnering with you on a transformative path forward.
I work primarily on a retainer basis with an average client engagement of 3 years.
My fees range from USD $30k to $60k for an initial 6-18 month engagement, depending on your goals and the scope of our work together. Written summaries and breakdowns of each session, recordings of each session, and private access for reasonable support between sessions are included with every coaching engagement on retainer.
I also work with clients on an hourly basis with a minimum of $5000 for 1 session or $7500 for 3 one-hour sessions.
I can take on only a small number of clients at a time to ensure each receives my full focus and dedication.
Many organizations provide professional development stipends to their employees. During the application process, you will be able to specify your employer information so that you can be issued an appropriate invoice for company coverage or reimbursement.
This isn't only a financial investment, but more importantly, it's an investment of your time, energy, and dedication. Together, we create meaningful, lasting change that shapes not only your life but also the lives of everyone you connect with. If you're ready to make this kind of commitment, I can support you every step of the way.

You’re the one people turn to for direction and decisions. Your team performs because of your leadership.
Yet, if you’re like many of my clients, there’s no one you can fully confide in, no one you trust as a true thought partner.
When we work together, you’ll have someone in your corner—someone you can report to, share openly with, and strategize alongside.
Our initial goal is simple: by the end of our first 3 sessions together, you’ll know whether my proprietary coaching process aligns with your vision and needs.
Once you complete the initial transaction below, we’ll schedule the first three sessions, each 60 minutes, ideally spaced 1-2 weeks apart.
By the third session, if you experience the value we can create together, we’ll discuss the best coaching engagement for you and your goals—typically a 6, 12, or 18 month commitment. Your initial payment will then be applied toward your chosen coaching engagement. (If suitable for you, I will also then invite you to join a weekly coaching group of like-minded peers, entirely optional and at no extra charge to you.)
If you’re ready to take the next step, simply click the button to begin your application and place the 7500 USD deposit for your initial 3 sessions. Once your application is complete, my Support Team will follow up with you within 2 business days.

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.
