David Baum is a social psychologist, facilitator and thought leader who has spent more than three decades helping people and organizations navigate meaningful change through the power of human connection. Holding two doctorates, one in social psychology and another in divinity, David brings a unique perspective that bridges the science of human behavior with a deeper understanding of purpose, meaning and connection.

Throughout his career, David has partnered with globally recognized organizations and leaders including Jane Goodall, Condé Nast, WE, the Philadelphia Flyers and Life is Good. His work has spanned conflict mediation in Northern Ireland, leadership and organizational transformation projects across the Middle East and large-scale change initiatives for companies such as Shell, Barclays, GE and Fidelity Investments.

Known for creating conversations that lead to lasting impact, David helps individuals, teams and organizations build stronger relationships, foster collaboration and navigate complexity with greater empathy and understanding. The organizations and leaders he has worked alongside have received some of the world’s most respected honors, including the Nobel Peace Prize, the Conrad Hilton Humanitarian Prize, the World Children’s Prize, the Malcolm Baldrige Award and the Clinton Global Citizen Award.

At the heart of David’s work is a simple belief: meaningful connection has the power to transform people, communities and organizations. And, as he likes to point out, he once worked in a circus, a reminder that growth, curiosity and a little adventure often go hand in hand.
