High-Performance Coach, Inspirational Speaker, and Transformational Leader
I'm Kevin Stark, a former U.S. Navy SEAL, high-performance coach, and founder of The Arete Path. My mission is to inspire and empower others to walk their own Arete Path: to experience the depth of who they truly are and to flourish. When we flourish, we live a life that flows well and provides the seeds for others to do the same.
Drawing from over two decades of experience in elite military operations and executive leadership, I specialize in helping you build your own path to personal mastery.
Whether through one-on-one coaching, keynote speaking, or immersive retreats, I guide clients to harness their strengths, develop high-stakes decision-making skills, and lead with integrity.
At The Arete Path, our coaching and transformative retreats ignite lasting change, challenging participants to break through perceived limits and adopt a mindset that thrives under pressure. My programs are informed by the science of human performance, but they're deeply personal and actionable, blending data-driven strategies with real-world resilience training to prepare clients for the defining moments in their lives and careers.
If you’re ready to redefine what’s possible, embrace your inner leader, and unlock the courage to pursue a life of meaning and impact, I’m here to walk that path with you.
You’ve achieved success and reached milestones that others admire, but you know there’s more. You’re searching for that next level—a deeper sense of satisfaction, a fuller way to live, and the ability to meet life’s challenges with authenticity and strength. You’re not alone in feeling this way, and you’re not alone in seeking a change.
Here’s where our journey aligns with yours. With over 20 years of experience leading individuals in high-pressure environments—special operations, emergency medicine, and business leadership—I know what it means to strive for excellence. I’ve walked a similar path and have faced the same desire for more. This isn’t just my story; it’s yours too. My experience has shaped a unique approach designed to help you achieve the transformation you’re after, with tools and strategies tailored to meet your specific needs.
Together, let’s take that next step. Let’s explore how our paths converge to create your best life.
