Build Competent and Confident Leaders

Moving from manager to leader is a leap few understand. Even fewer do it well.
I can help you fix that. Whether you need help in the C-Suite or the next several levels down the organization, your organization will benefit from my approach to coaching.

Together, we will focus on growing dynamic, effective leadership for your organization. You will have the opportunity to tap into my refined leadership principles and practices generated through real-time, hands-on experience on the front lines of many types of businesses.

“No one lives long enough to learn everything they need to learn starting from scratch. To be successful, we absolutely, positively have to find people who have already paid the price to learn the things that we need to learn to achieve our goals.” — Brian Tracy

Doug’s ability to draw out real mindset shifts has been so incredibly impactful for me, both in the role I had while being coached, and in my new role. We focused conversation on the “why” of the behavior, and then made slight tweaks of behavior to develop better habits. I would absolutely recommend Doug for anyone looking to improve performance, capitalize on strengths, and drive results.

Doug is an incredibly effective Leadership Coach. I learned so much about my leadership style, but more importantly learned how I could take it to the next level. Doug provided me with numerous tools to use and what is amazing is even after our sessions had ended, he continued to check on me. The term Servant Leader applies to Doug. He is not only a practiced and accomplished leadership coach, but also helps you understand the psychology behind your style and how to improve.
