David Cooks, Executive Coach, Best Selling Author, Podcaster

Your struggles don’t define you, they refine you. Listen to David Cooks, an Executive Coach, Best Selling Author, and Podcaster. Be inspired, learn how to change your mindset, and get ready to make a difference.

Three life changing lessons from David Cooks:

Lesson #1: From Paralysis to Purpose

It’s all about perspective. Tough situations can be a blessing in disguise, and this was David’s experience. His incapability didn’t stop him from achieving his goals. Focusing on what’s possible changes everything, even our emotions. When our focus is on the things we can control, then we move forward in achieving our goals. It’s not always easy but it will bring out the best version of ourselves.

Lesson #2: Living in the Moment

What really matters is the present. No matter what life throws at you, the most important question to ask yourself is,“what will you do now?” It’s the only thing that matters that will make a big impact in your life. In sports, they call it the last or 4th quarter of the game. This is the time where pressure rises on top and the only option is to bring out your best players or the best version of yourself.

“A rearview mirror is good for driving, but it’s not good for living a life.”

Lesson #3: Be Open to the Unknown

Overcoming your fears is not easy, but it’s also the way to a better version of yourself. It’s okay to not predetermine your future. When you are open to possibilities, that is where your adventure starts. As you listen to David Cooks’ advice, you’ll learn more on how to approach the unknown.
