A series of accidents and personal tragedies which would have defeated most people inspired David Hennessey to help others with their personal development.
What’s your story?
My story is about how I moved to another country to help a friend in need, then 3 close family members died, I was in 2 car accidents then a rock climbing fall that left me unable to walk without intense pain for 6 months and how I moved from that point to completing a marathon, become an experienced rock climber and going deep to help people learn a holistic approach to personal development I call the WONDER Technique.
What excites you most about your industry?
The ability to give people fundamental tools they can use daily to support their health and happiness so they can live their best lives.
What drives you in business to push beyond what other people consider normal?
My commitment to being in personal development long term; so far I have shared the WONDER Technique for over 20 years.
What have been the most useful skills you have learnt and applied in your journey?
The ability to simplify complex ideas like using the scientific understanding of the presence of phytochemical in plants, a complex idea, and teaching people that if they shop using the colors of the rainbow they can simplify their attainment of a wide variety of phytochemicals. I started writing about this in 1999 before it hit mainstream.
What’s the best piece of advice you ever received?
What you think about in your mind the most will become your reality.
Who inspires you?
My Dad
What have you learnt recently that blew you away?
GPS technology could not have been created without Einstein’s understandings of electromagnetic fields outlined in the theory of relativity.
If you had your time again, what would you do differently?
Learn French before I moved to France.

Rock climbing in silence.
What is a major mindset change, belief shift or ‘ah ha’ moment that you’ve experienced in relation to your business?
That even though most businesses work best when you focus on specific clients, what I do is designed for everyone and to accept this path, though more difficult, to build a business for me is worthwhile because of the difference I can make to humanity.
