Coaching for Extraordinary Possibility
You did everything right - the degrees, the promotions, the big goals.
But behind the polished life, you feel it:
The pressure. The disconnect.
The quiet question that keeps you up at night...
Is this really it?
You're successful, but not free.
Respected, but rarely seen.
Trapped in a life you built... that no longer feels like yours.
What if there’s another way?
A path that honors both your ambition and your aliveness.
A path of clarity, choice, and extraordinary possibility - on your own terms.
That’s what we do here.
I'm David Kincaid - former diplomat, global advisor, and transformational coach for high-performing humans at the edge of reinvention.
I help you reclaim your sovereignty, make bold decisions, and build a life that’s not just impressive…
but aligned, alive, and deeply your own.
It’s time to stop performing success - and start living freedom.
Let’s walk this path together.
A Global Background, A Grounded Guide
From nuclear diplomacy to inner clarity
Before becoming a coach, David Kincaid spent years working at the highest levels of government and international policy. He served as one of the top civilian nuclear trade analysts and advisers in the U.S. system, then as a diplomat and Southeast Asia’s first Digital Trade Attaché. His work spanned dozens of countries, cultures, and industries.
Behind the professional success, David carried hidden struggles. As a gay man who had been cast out of his religious community, survived homelessness, addiction, and deep burnout, he knew what it meant to fracture inside while performing at a high level on the outside.
A breaking point in his diplomatic career led David to resign, walk the Camino de Santiago, and devote himself to understanding how clarity, conscience, and courage can reshape a human life from the inside out.
Today he brings this rare combination of global systems insight, personal recovery, and spiritual depth into every coaching relationship. Clients work with someone who understands both complex external realities and the inner terrain of fear, grief, and hope.
