TESTIMONIALS
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. The greatest takeaway is that leadership is a journey. 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.
Thomas WoodRegional VP of Operations 
I had the great opportunity to work with Doug as an executive coach for about 1 year. As a personal recommendation I highly recommend Doug’s coaching style and insights into leadership if you want to work on servant leadership. 2020 was a very tough year and I relied heavily on the techniques, tools and self-awareness that Doug provided through coaching. Thank you Doug!
Justin MurphyResearch and Technology Development Manager at ExxonMobil 
I had the privilege of being coached by Doug. He epitomizes a great leader; a servant leader. Doug is humble and willing to sharing his experiences to help others reach their potential. As a coach Doug helped me manage self and manage up. Doug empowers everyone he works with. So fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with Doug.
Sheri MitchellHR Director 
As someone who has the privilege of being mentored by Doug, I can say that both my personal life and career have advanced through the techniques and wisdom he has imparted on me. I’m thankful for Doug’s perspective and experience as it has helped me provide value to my employer and has allowed me to grow as a person in my interactions with my family and friends.
Jordan CaldwellDigital Marketing Programs Manager 
I have had the great fortune to work with and learn from Doug Thorpe in difficult situations where pressure was intense and success or failure of the mission depended upon leadership quality at the top of the organization. Doug is unflappable and in the most difficult of circumstances he always provided a clear head, forward looking guidance, sound coaching in all directions, and a cheerful spirit. Doug is a problem solver and a teacher at heart.
Dana BickfordDeputy Director, PMO 
Doug is an excellent speaker who is very knowledgeable about his topic and shares insightful thoughts and ideas throughout his presentation. Here are some comments from audience members: “informative, clear, hands-on”; “Doug Thorpe was very knowledgeable about the subject”
Eunice Mesa, M.EdUniversity of Houston 
Doug is an extremely gifted Leadership Coach, and he added tremendous value to our leadership program. Doug is thoughtful and inspiring, and challenges you to step out of your comfort zone to become a truly great leader. I enjoyed each session and will continue to take his advice and counsel with me on my leadership journey.
Oliver WilliamsEVP - Head of Enterprise Risk Management, Regions Bank 
When I was laid off from my previous position due to Covid-19, Doug was my executive coach. Doug is a consummate professional and a great coach. He guided me in my career search by asking thought-provoking questions, providing excellent career advice, and sharing resources that aided me in my search. Doug was available and responsive throughout the process. As a result of his coaching, I was able to land a new role that I am truly excited about.
