I'm Davidson Lee — a four-time founder, coach, and consultant. I partner with people who want deep self-discovery and with organizations ready to be inclusive for all people.
About
I'm a coach and consultant who partners with individuals interested in transformational self-development and organizations seeking to be inclusive for all people. My work focuses on deep self-discovery, shedding conditioning, and establishing authentic boundaries.
I'm a transgender non-binary person with over a decade of working, creating, and feeding many communities in Oakland, the Bay Area, and California. I prioritize patience and empathy, am grounded in human-justice values and philosophies, and always seek peace.
I'm also a social entrepreneur and chef. My first venture, Be The Healthy Life, focused on physical training and nutritional education. Later, Made2Gather ran culinary workshops for teams at Kaiser Permanente, Yelp, and Salesforce. Today I'm co-founder and Head of Business Development at Vera Robotics and advise founders building healthcare and community ventures.
When I'm not working, I trek into the wilderness to seek out silence and peacefulness, and build art for an Art Collective for Peace.

Programs
Every engagement starts with a free 30-minute intro call. From there, we shape a container that fits the season you're in.
01 — Coaching
12 weeks · 1:1
For founders working through imposter syndrome, voice, and the weight of being seen. We build confidence, sharpen boundaries, and translate inner work into how you lead, sell, and decide.
02 — Coaching
6 months · bi-weekly
A longer arc for leaders ready to say no to what doesn't match. Physical, emotional, and spiritual boundaries — held in practices that work in real-time, not just on the page.
03 — Consulting
Custom engagement
For teams that want to be genuinely inclusive — not performatively. Grounded in human-justice values and a decade of community-building, I help orgs design programs, hiring, and culture that hold all people.
04 — Advisory
90-min intensives
Single sessions for founders at a fork in the road. Drawing from four ventures, partnerships at Vera Robotics, and a decade of programming for 80+ founders across 10+ countries.
The approach
01
We start with where you are — not where a framework says you should be. Real listening, no judgment.
02
Most of what holds founders back isn't them — it's the system. We name it, then practice the alternative.
03
Journaling, breath, somatic tools, role-play. Small daily practices that compound into a different way of leading.
04
Boundaries that survive contact with investors, co-founders, and family. We rehearse until they're yours.
