AVERY ROTH

I began my career on Wall Street in earnest in 2002 after three years of plum internships gained by cold calling executives from my college dorm room. Armed with a strong work ethic, sheer determination, and a big smile, I was hired into the graduate training program at Deutsche Bank in London. I threw myself into my first job in Equity Hedge Fund Sales, and within just a few years I was “in the room.” With a list of top clients, meetings in the finest locations around the world, and a soaring income, I’d made it by most standards.

However, by that point I’d also travelled a lot, oftentimes backpacking solo to remote locations with very different cultures, and my eyes had opened to different ways of living and being. In the Himalayas, I was drawn to Buddhism and non-violence, while at the capitol building in Buenos Aires, I was stunned to witness broad-daylight robbery. In Brazil I was charmed by the people’s relaxed warmth and joie de vivre, while in Hong Kong I was taken aback by the population density, pollution, and consumerism. I was unwittingly gathering a database of my likes and dislikes and subconsciously preparing to challenge my direction in life.

As the years passed, I became cognizant of my conflicting thoughts. I also gained curiosity about psychology and wanted to understand how I could improve myself for the better. I learned that I had to face certain truths, establish an understanding of how I really wanted to show up in my life, and take intentional action to achieve change. As I began to carry out this personal transformation, I became increasingly confident in my ability to direct my life and discovered that I have a natural talent for helping others move through this process.

Now I leverage my depth of knowledge across the fields of business, psychology, and mindset to help business leaders achieve peak performance and fulfillment.
