Daniel Harkavy founded Building Champions in 1996 and currently operates as the CEO and an Executive Coach. Daniel counts it a huge blessing to be able to spend his time helping clients and the Building Champions team to improve their professional and personal lives.  Daniel and his team have coached thousands of top performers to peak levels of success, performance, profitability and contentment. Daniel’s mission is to use his God-given gifts to make a positive and eternal impact in the life of each person he comes into contact with.

Daniel started realizing his coaching skills in 1987 when he was the Assistant Vice President of a California based mortgage-banking firm. There, he quickly built and coached his production team into the company’s most productive and profitable branch. After the company’s public offering, Daniel was named as the head of production and given the opportunity to coach and lead the company’s entire team of more than 180 producers and managers.

After ten incredibly rewarding years in the banking industry, Daniel took a one-year sabbatical. After attending a Promise Keepers event, he was given the vision for starting a company whose sole product would be to help others lead more purposeful businesses and lives.  Since that time, Daniel and his team have coached thousands of individuals and teams. 

In 1999, Daniel founded a sister organization, Ministry Coaching International, which has come alongside and coached hundreds of pastors and ministry leaders towards improved leadership, effectiveness and fulfillment in their ministries and their lives.

Daniel his wife Sheri have been blessed with four wonderful children: Alexandra, Dylan, Wesley and Emily.
