David Leigh Weber

For over 20 years David Leigh Weber was a copywriter and brand strategist with clients primarily located in Silicon Valley. He worked with two-person startups, Fortune 10 multinationals, and everything in-between. His work generated tens of millions of dollars in sales, and helped launch numerous products, services and even companies.

Over time David realized that there was a core issue affecting everyone he interacted with — they were all trying to find some sort of ideal work/life balance. This seemed next to impossible in the frenetic and pressure-driven world that is high tech. Curious by nature, he knew there had to be an answer. After holding more than 30,000+ conversations and interviews with thousands of people including global leaders, entrepreneurs, corporate trainers, personal coaches, and other truly successful types he soon discovered that most people were approaching work/life balance the wrong way. The TRUE solution to work/life balance was something called flow, a person’s true life purpose.

By understanding flow a person can literally accomplish anything, including achieving that elusive ‘perfect’ work/home lifestyle. How? Everything attempted is done so because the person knows it will generate success. This dramatically reduces the time, effort and even money spent on attempting to reach work/life balance goals. Everything becomes effortless and second nature, just like breathing.

Unfortunately, David soon realized that people from all walks of life were ignoring their flow yet trying to succeed. They would approach their lives from an “intellectual” standpoint, telling themselves this is how to be successful whether it was or not. This severely hindered their abilities to advance both personally and professionally since they were always ‘swimming against the tide’ even when participating in career/personal development programs. Worse, traditional self help methods designed to “break through” blockages often had the opposite effect — more blockages were created since the participant felt s/he had failed. Why? Traditional programs took a one-size-fits-all approach and people simply aren’t designed that way.

That’s why in 2003 David decided to found what would ultimately become Learn About Flow, an organization dedicated to empowering people to find their true selves, what makes them their most successful on every level. Since that time Learn About Flow has helped hundreds achieve all the goals that work/life balance methods were supposed to achieve.

His work is not without controversy, since finding and understanding flow requires people to do many things that are counterintuitive to what they were taught all their lives. Yet once they do they soon realize that flow is the way the they were always supposed to be living!

Today David is an author (My Life Has No Purpose!), sought after speaker, online teacher & trainer, corporate trainer, and an evangelist for true mind-body-spirit wellness. He has a B.A. in English & History from the University of Rochester and an M.A. in Communications from the Newhouse School (Syracuse University). Originally from New England, David now lives in the San Francisco Bay Area.
