Myers-Davis Life Coaching, Inc was founded in 2014 by Dr. Edward Myers and Angela Davis. The company was originally founded as a life coaching company to provide direction and motivation to businesses, executives, college students, and youth. While individual, group and executive coaching continued to be a part of Myers-Davis, retention coaching for college and high school students also became a large vein of the work within Myers-Davis.

Coaching workshops on business skills such as team building, leadership principles, trustworthiness, integrity, along with a host of various topics are conducted in workshops for businesses and organizations throughout the world.

Youth Leadership Summits began in 2014 with classes for 4th – 6th grades, 7th-9th grades, and 10th-12th grade. The students were chosen by school administration or educators, parents, or students that have a great desire to grow and become leaders in their community. Youth Leadership students are taught character, leadership, public speaking, life skills, and more to lead them on the paths to become the leaders that they desire to be in their community. After a pause in this program, Myers-Davis has now revamped Youth Leadership Summits through its’ nonprofit organization, Myers-Davis Foundation. Starting in October 2025, the Youth Leadership program is back on track and ready to lead our youth to new heights! Check it out here: Youth Leadership – Myers-Davis Foundation

Myers-Davis became life coaches for the Nursing Department and UACCB (University of Arkansas Community College at Batesville) for the purpose of Student Retention in 2017.

In 2018, Myers-Davis began working with Arkansas Rehabilitation Services (ARS) as a vendor in their Pre-Employment Transitions Services (Pre-ETS) program facilitating life skill and job skill classes to high school students in schools throughout North-Central Arkansas. The State recognized the hard work put into the Youth Leadership Summits and approached to ask that this be done with high school students who have disabilities. Through these classes, Myers-Davis supports high school students with disabilities to build self-confidence, set attainable goals, learn job skills, research skill sets, and obtain jobs or set them on a path to post-secondary education. We currently serve 14 different local high schools in the North-Central Arkansas area.

Driven by a desire to keep supporting students who needed more guidance, Myers-Davis began expanding into other programs starting with ARS as an Employment Services vendor. The Employment Services allow Myers-Davis career coaches to work with individuals with disabilities that need extra assistance in obtaining and maintaining jobs as they are set on a career path.
