Dr. D. Ivan Young, Ph.D.
Dr. D. Ivan Young is an internationally recognized executive coach, author, speaker, ordained metaphysical minister, and founder of Young Ethical Intelligence, Inc. Throughout his life’s work, he has sought to bridge spiritual wisdom, ethical leadership, neuroscience, and human development into practical systems that help people live with greater purpose, compassion, resilience, and integrity. His ministry and professional work share the same mission: helping individuals awaken to their highest potential while making decisions that honor both themselves and the greater good.
A graduate of the University of Sedona and an ordained minister through the International Metaphysical Ministry, Dr. Young believes spirituality is not confined to ritual or philosophy but is expressed through the daily practice of love, forgiveness, ethical responsibility, conscious awareness, and service to others. His metaphysical studies deepened his understanding that every person possesses an inherent divine capacity for transformation and that spiritual growth occurs through intentional awareness, self-reflection, and compassionate action.
His own journey has been profoundly shaped by overcoming significant adversity, including surviving cancer. Those experiences transformed his understanding of faith, healing, gratitude, and purpose. Rather than viewing life’s challenges as obstacles, he came to understand them as opportunities for spiritual growth, greater compassion, and deeper alignment with Divine wisdom. That perspective continues to influence every aspect of his ministry, coaching, teaching, and leadership.
Professionally, Dr. Young is an ICF Master Certified Coach (MCC), an EMCC Master Practitioner, and a National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC). During more than two decades of coaching, he has worked with executives, physicians, entrepreneurs, healthcare leaders, nonprofit organizations, educators, military personnel, and individuals seeking lasting personal transformation. His work combines spiritual principles, emotional intelligence, coaching psychology, behavioral science, and neuroscience to help people develop wisdom, resilience, and ethical judgment.
Dr. Young is the creator of several original frameworks designed to strengthen human development and conscious decision-making. These include the Augmented Neuro Synthesis (ANS) Framework, which integrates ethical awareness, neuroplasticity, emotional regulation, and intentional growth; Human Judgment Intelligence (HJI), a framework for strengthening ethical decision-making in an increasingly AI-enabled world; the Recursive Human Systems Model, which explores the ongoing relationship between thought, emotion, neurochemistry, behavior, consequence, and belief; the Cognitive Ecology Framework, Cognitive Coherence Model, and Ethical Cognition Framework, all of which examine how internal awareness and external environments influence the quality of human judgment. His work also includes the Decision Stability Model, the Relationship Intelligence Framework, and Institutional Decision Intelligence, which extends these principles into leadership, healthcare, education, and organizational development.
As Founder and CEO of Young Ethical Intelligence, Inc., Dr. Young is leading the development of URIEL, a Human Judgment Intelligence platform designed to help people strengthen ethical reasoning, emotional regulation, leadership effectiveness, and responsible collaboration with artificial intelligence. His vision is that technology should enhance—not replace—human wisdom, compassion, and conscious responsibility.
An accomplished author and internationally sought-after speaker, Dr. Young has appeared on major television networks, podcasts, universities, leadership conferences, healthcare organizations, and community forums. Whether coaching executives, teaching students, officiating ceremonies, or delivering keynote presentations, his message remains consistent: every individual has the capacity to transform their life by aligning their thoughts, emotions, values, and actions with higher spiritual principles.
Today, Dr. Young provides executive coaching, leadership development, relationship coaching, keynote speaking, ministry, educational programs, and organizational consulting. His mission is to help people think more clearly, love more deeply, lead more ethically, and live more intentionally. Through his ministry and professional work, he seeks to inspire individuals to recognize the Divine presence within themselves, cultivate greater wisdom and compassion, and become instruments of healing, hope, and positive transformation in their families, organizations, communities, and the world.
