My name is Daniel Bean. I am certified Life Coach and owner of ELEVATION LIFE COACHING FOR MEN. I have over 45 years of experience in sales, management, and leadership coaching.

I have a deep passion for personal development and lifelong learning. My education comes from CSU, Common Sense University and decades of OJT, On the Job Training. While I do not hold a formal college degree, I admire and respect those who do.

I believe that experience, mentorship, and continuous learning are crucial in shaping a successful and meaningful life. I am dedicated to helping men who are business professionals and entrepreneurs painfully struggling to bring meaningful balance into their professional and personal lives.

To sharpen my skills, I’ve completed Dale Carnegie courses in Effective Speaking and Human Relations, later serving as a Dale Carnegie Graduate Assistant. I also completed numerous courses in Business and Marketing.

I have been married to my wife and best friend for over 50 years. We live in Huntingburg, Indiana with our two rescue cats, Samson and Simba. We have one daughter. She, her husband, and our two grandsons live in Nashville, Tennessee.

What I do in my spare time… I enjoy reading, especially, motivational books by authors such as Dale Carnegie, John Maxwell and Zig Ziglar. In my opinion, the Bible is the best Self-Help book you can read!

I can remember attending a motivational rally early in my work career and hearing the speakers tell how life can be improved immensely by setting goals and putting positive principles to use daily. That day, I purchased a book by Zig Ziglar, See You at The Top. It included cassette tapes based on his book. I started listening to the tapes in my car on my way home. He expanded on the principles I heard that day at the rally, positive life principles I hadn’t heard before, such as, "We are designed for accomplishment, engineered for success, and endowed with the seeds of greatness.” Also, “You can get everything in life you want if you will help enough other people get what they want.” Hearing these words profoundly changed my life. These principles solidified my belief in the importance of mentoring, personal growth, and leadership coaching.

I enjoy fishing and metal detecting, which gives me time to reflect and unwind. I hold a Brown Belt in Tae Kwon Do and appreciate the discipline and wisdom that martial arts teach.

Movies that inspire me include Star Wars, Rocky, and The Karate Kid. The Karate Kid resonates deeply with me, especially the quote from Mr. Miyagi to Daniel, “You remember lesson about balance? Lesson not just karate only, lesson for all life. Whole life have a balance, everything be better.”

But it's not all about me, it's about you!
