Facilitator, Coach, Advocate

Kary Youman is on a personal mission to empower and inspire others to live their best lives through the virtues of kindness and mindfulness.

He was born in Los Angeles, CA, raised in Atlanta, GA, and grew up in Northern, VA. He currently reside in Portland, OR. 

With over a decade of experience in personal/professional coaching, positive psychology, public speaking, diversity & inclusion training, and mindfulness practices, Kary has had the privilege of collaborating with and helping people from all walks of life overcome limiting beliefs that have led to transformational changes personally and professionally.  

Over the years, he’s been challenged and experienced defeat many times. As a result, he’s enjoyed the lessons and health benefits of being sober from alcohol for nine years (and counting), quit smoking cigarettes, attracted his dream career, and had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to share his story at TEDx Portland in 2019.   

He doesn’t claim to have all of the answers, but he feels in his heart that his life experiences have given him the gift of humility and perspective to help his clients discover their purpose and create a more meaningful life.
