About Me
My name is David Herrera, an out and proud gay man who was born and raised in Sugar Land, Texas. I discovered theatre arts at a young age, fell in love with it, went to university in Austin, TX to pursue a communication and acting degree, graduated, and moved to NYC to pursue my dreams to quickly realize I didn’t want to be an actor and was left asking myself the question “well what do I do now?”. That’s the condensed version. The truth is, my life has taken many twists and turns but by always taking small steps forward, I managed to stumble upon amazing people and opportunities. These led me to become a performer, Managing Director, Artistic Director, teaching artist, stage manager, production assistant on a Broadway tour, NYC truck driver, studio manager at the Alvin Ailey Dance School, food vlogger, NYC real estate agent, and many more odd occupations.
What became clear was that I was constantly chasing a level of success in my life that felt impossible to obtain no matter what I did. I felt it in the arts world, the culinary world, the NY real estate world, and honestly just the world in general. That stuck, burnt out, insecure, and unworthy feeling that kept me believing that I was never enough. It didn't matter how much money I made or how many achievements I received- It never felt right.
What I did notice though was how much I loved helping others. It’s the through-line that consistently lit me up throughout my life, even in my darkest moments. We all want to feel seen, heard, and valued. More importantly, we want to feel like we matter. That’s my mission. To help others feel like they matter enough to live the life they deserve to be living. With this mission in mind, I’m feeling confident, full of purpose, and passionate about the work I do. Even with some uncertainty, I feel entirely worthy of the life I am intentionally creating for myself. But I didn’t do this alone. I had a lot of help along the way, including some amazing coaches in my life. And I want to help you live the life you deserve because you matter and so does the life you want! What are you waiting for?! Let's connect today!
EQUITY, INCLUSION, & SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
You belong here. I firmly believe diversity that is inclusive of all voices is necessary to move everyone toward a more socially equitable world. I strive to make an intentional effort that my clients, community members, and the people I surround myself with come from all walks of life. As a gay person of color myself, I’m committed and passionate about advancing causes that are inclusive of LGBTQIA and Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) voices and experiences. Your success is my mission.

“You get all of the banter, love, and support of your closest friend PLUS the wisdom, resources, and guidance of a professional. Setting goals feels doable, there’s never any awkward moments, and it’s fun!”
“I have a clearer idea of my strengths and my weaknesses. I feel more grateful for my journey on my specific goal and I don’t have as many negative feelings and thoughts about where I stand. My goal seems possible and I am also excited to be more patient and intentional with achieving it“
“I am always so surprised of how the intention of our conversation evolves to more than what I expected coming in. Your curiosity allows me to think about things in a more nuanced way while also giving me the opportunity to hear my own thoughts and deepen my why behind my actions.”

Testimonials
“Working on yourself is hard. Even if you are gung-ho about facing a challenge, it can be tricky to navigate your thoughts, actions, and feelings about your progress. Having a coach to bounce ideas off of and work through problems with is a huge advantage. Coaching has not only helped direct my intentions into actions, it's validated how I work through changes on my own. Before coaching, I was dead-set on figuring out the "right" way to do everything- even the right way to do coaching! I still struggle with wanting to be right, but the work I've done in coaching is a reminder to trust in myself more.“
“Your obvious passion for helping people is immediately clear through your active listening, summarizing what I said back to me so you fully understand, and empathy relating to my struggles. I also appreciate how calm and stable you are, which makes me feel safe in our sessions“
“There were so many exercises and approaches to finding areas I wanted to work on, but they didn't feel overwhelming because I was being guided. Even though I was uncertain at times, the space was still safe and I didn't feel judged for changing my mind“
