David Thompson

Here's a bio tailored for Amazon Author Central — third person, credential-forward, with room for your faith-rooted voice to come through:

David Wayne Thompson is an actor, director, certified NLP coach, speaker, and author with over 30 years of experience helping people close the gap between who they are and who they were designed to be.

As the founder of Thompson Approach Academy, David has spent three decades in green rooms, boardrooms, and coaching sessions developing frameworks — including the Hand of Power™ and the 5 Arenas of Life™ — that turn abstract dreams into daily, actionable design. His work blends the discipline of the stage with the depth of his faith, anchored by a simple conviction drawn from Jeremiah 29:11: that every person carries plans worth building toward.

David's acting career spans stage roles including George Bailey in It's a Wonderful Life, with training from Wayne State University's Performing Arts program in Detroit, Oakland University, and Macomb Community College. He brings that same performer's instinct for truth and timing into his books, which include 24 Hour Power, The Callback, One Body, Two Languages, and Wealth Mastery.

He lives in San Diego, California, with his wife, Amy.
