About the Guest:
Devon Bandison is the Go To Mind Coach of the NBA and one of the most sought-after personal and business coaches in the world. He works with Fortune 100 Companies and people from all walks of life, including professional athletes and teams, CEOs, salespeople, small business owners, filmmakers, producers, and the top business and life coaches in the world.
Devon was born and raised in New York City and shares the same energetic heartbeat, big personality, and commitment to excellence as his hometown. Growing up, his love and hard work in sports resulted in him receiving a basketball scholarship to Belmont Abbey College in North Carolina.
After graduation, he spent years working on the front lines of NYC. Devon worked with an organization responsible for developing behavioral health programs for youth, families, and first-time fathers in some of the toughest neighborhoods throughout the city that never sleeps.
His background in sports, psychology, and leadership, gives Devon a unique perspective on how to effectively create powerful shifts within individuals and companies. His style is a combination of a straight-talk New Yorker mixed with a patient, compassionate, and attentive listener. This combination of his direct, authentic, and caring approach to transformation allows his clients to create extraordinary results in their lives faster and with more ease.
Devon is an international/TEDx speaker and is considered a fatherhood thought leader, whose work has been featured in the Wall Street Journal, Good Morning America, Huffington Post, Inc. Magazine, and Success Magazine. His book "Fatherhood is Leadership: Your Playbook for Success, Self-Leadership and a Richer Life" was a #1 new release on Amazon in 2017.
Devon’s signature leadership group coaching program, The Game Changer Experience is held several times a year throughout the US and the UK and has also been implemented in companies around the world.
Devon is the proud father of three wonderful human beings who teach him way more about life and love than he could ever teach them. You can catch him with his children at Friday Night Pizza Nights, Basketball for Breakfast, Dinner/Movie Dates, and hip-hop concerts.
