Dennis Donnel Sumlin is a Self-Mastery Mentor and the founder of Core Confidence Lifestyle, a personal life strategy guidance and consulting practice. He leads classes and mentoring programs that give adults the tools, training, and initiation they need to fully own themselves mentally, emotionally, and energetically. With more than 20 years of experience in mentoring and education, Dennis specializes in psychology, self-awareness training, metaphysics, and the deeper work of personal identity and purpose.
He holds a certification in Life Coaching from Erickson College International, is trained in peer coaching and mentoring, and is a Distinguished Toastmaster through Toastmasters International, recognizing his leadership and excellence in public speaking and communication.
Dennis mostly works with:
-
People who feel “different,” intense, or misunderstood
-
Those transitioning identities (spiritual, professional, personal)

Men stepping into maturity, leadership, or self-mastery
Before founding Core Confidence Lifestyle, Dennis served as an advocate and leader for adoptees, people with disabilities, and other underserved communities — helping reduce legal and practical barriers to independence, visibility, and upward mobility.
His work often weaves together practical mindset training with spiritual and metaphysical insight, including numerology, astrology, and personal development frameworks that help men and women build inner strength, clarity, and self-respect.
Outside of work, Dennis enjoys studying history and spirituality, reflecting on human behavior and culture, and spending quiet time with loved ones.

The Mission
Dennis’s mission is both simple and revolutionary:
To help you reclaim your divine energy, trust your inner wisdom, and become who you were always meant to be, unapologetically, unshakably, and unforgettably you.
