Summary
By the age of 30, Brian had earned a Berkeley Ph.D. in computer science, raised $20 million for two Silicon Valley startups, become an internationally known academic and speaker, been part of a $400 million IPO – and burned out twice. Determined to find a more sustainable path, he left his career for six years of full time personal growth work, including a M.A. in Spiritual Psychology from the University of Santa Monica. Today, Brian is the author of the #1 International Amazon Best Seller, Yes Yes Hell No! The Little Book for Making Big Decisions, as well as a regular column in the Huffington Post. With diverse appearances ranging from NBC to MIT, he is considered one of the foremost experts in the fields of conscious business and authentic leadership. As the President of Core Coaching, Dr. Whetten has worked with leaders from dozens of the world’s top companies, including Disney, Barclays Capital, Novo Nordisk, Invacare, KPN and SAP; and he has coached hundreds of professional coaches and therapists. That said, what really excites Brian is his family. He lives in Los Angeles with his wife Nicole, where they spend much of their time wondering how their two daughters can be so cute.
