You do not need
more effort.
You need a
stronger center.
The I AM Project helps people rebuild clarity, emotional steadiness, and identity-level coherence so life, leadership, and relationships are no longer pulling in different directions.
For individuals, leaders, and those tired of living in fragments.
The Framework
A process for rebuilding from the center outward
The I AM Project is a structured framework for helping people identify where fragmentation is affecting their thinking, behavior, relationships, and direction in life. Rather than offering surface-level motivation, the work helps restore a stable internal center so the major domains of life can begin working together again.
This is not about becoming someone else.
It is about becoming more coherent in who you are meant to be.

How the work unfolds
I
Reveal the pattern

II
Rebuild the center
Clarify identity, values, character, and inner alignment through the I AM framework.

Realign your life
Bring leadership, health, relationships, purpose, and daily behavior back into greater coherence.

Where to Begin
For those beginning with assessment
For some clients, especially leaders and professionals under pressure, the work begins with a structured assessment. This helps identify where hidden fragmentation may be affecting clarity, regulation, decision-making, and alignment before deeper coaching begins.
The assessment reveals the pattern.

20+ Years of Research & Pattern Recognition
The Cultural Neurological Alignment Profile (CNAP)
After more than 20 years of research, coaching, and pattern recognition across human behavior, performance, and personal development, we developed the Cultural Neurological Alignment Profile (CNAP) to help make the hidden structure of a person's life visible. CNAP was created to identify where fragmentation is affecting clarity, regulation, decision-making, relationships, and alignment across the domains that matter most. Rather than relying on surface description alone, CNAP helps reveal the deeper pattern so coaching can begin with greater precision, honesty, and effectiveness.
The CNAP Assessments
General Assessment
The CNAP General Assessment was developed for the broader population to provide a clear picture of how a person is functioning across the core domains of life. It helps identify where stress, inconsistency, misalignment, and weak self-regulation may be quietly affecting wellbeing, relationships, discipline, and direction.
The Benefit
Greater clarity, a more accurate understanding of what is actually driving the
struggle, and a stronger foundation for meaningful coaching through The I AM Project.
Executive Assessment
The CNAP Executive Assessment was developed for leaders, founders, and professionals who carry sustained responsibility and pressure. High performers often maintain outward competence while internal fragmentation begins to affect judgment, communication, emotional steadiness, and leadership presence. This assessment helps make those hidden fractures visible.
The Benefit
A clearer view of where pressure is distorting performance, allowing coaching to
strengthen clarity, regulation, aligned leadership, and better decision-making.
Youth Leadership Assessment
The CNAP Youth Leadership Assessment was developed for younger individuals and emerging leaders during a critical stage of identity formation, emotional development, and character building. Early patterns in self-regulation, responsibility, courage, and relational maturity often shape the trajectory of adult life.
The Benefit
Earlier intervention, clearer guidance, and a more intentional opportunity to build resilience,
character, and leadership capacity before instability becomes deeply established.
Results
What people often discover
When people rebuild from the center outward, the shifts are often felt across every area of life.
“In my 25 years as a psychotherapist and coach, mostly working
with persons struggling with addiction issues,
I have learned long ago that before
people can effectively resolve the impact of their past experiences, they must somehow
attach to their realistic and current core strengths.
David has developed an
approach that not only centers people in that resilient space, but also provides a safe
private mental opportunity for clients to strategically sort through obstacles to creating
their optimal existence.”
“Since beginning to use the I AM Project, my client has stopped drinking which has been a real struggle for him. The client has been able to identify those area's in his life which he would like to reconnect with. The visual representation of where his is and where his recovery was, has been helpful in assisting this client in identifying where he needs to focus to create harmony in his life.”
“I returned home from David Gilks I AM weekend retreat and all I can say is "wow!" Lives were transformed right before my eyes. Words can't even express how I feel. This is transformational. Much love. Xo”
“For the first time in my life I can finally stop running and no longer need to pursue the answers "out there"!! David's I AM weekend event was so powerful, insightful, and highly emotional with many "Ah Hah" moments that I highly recommend it to anyone and everyone looking to find breakthroughs in any of these areas. Thank you, thank you, thank you! David, You Rock!”
“I am still a work in progress and I am enjoying this process. Thank you to David for being such a great coach and leading our tribe!!”
“I wanted to feel good and healthy. I had been doing exercise
almost every day and I thought I was doing fine. However, I wasn’t getting a result I
wanted because my mind was not on the right focus. I was blaming myself for my ‘weak
will power’.
At that time, I found to about the I AM Project. I had heard about
this program from my friends and I was interested in what it could do for me. The brain is
such a small part of a body, but it is so powerful and controls rest of the whole body.
After taking I AM Project and listening to David about how our mind and body would work, a
weight on my shoulder was lifted and was able to see some hope.”
“Attending I AM Project training was a great experience. I AM board is helping me stop and think where I am each day and analyze myself.”
