David Mochel

David Mochel has focused for thirty years on the foundations of wellbeing, healthy communities, and leadership. After a twenty-year career teaching human development and neuroscience in independent schools, I founded Applied Attention to help individuals, teams, and organizations focus their attention and energy where it will make the greatest positive difference. Using principles drawn from modern scientific research and enduring wisdom, I have had the opportunity to work with leaders, educators, executives, parents, students, and athletes all over the world. I draw upon my degrees in biology from Williams College, a Master’s in Humanistic and Multicultural Education from SUNY New Paltz, and a clinical internship in Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center.

"I study, think about, and have conversations about well-being every chance I get. When I climb into bed at night, I am usually reading some new research about the brain and behavior or human performance. Perhaps this makes me a bit nerdy, but I love it."
