Leading
through Change
Are you leading your life or is your life leading you?
I bring together best practices of coaching and consulting to support you and your organization to learn, grow and thrive.
SPEAKING
My approach to speaking
My goal as a speaker is to inspire and motivate audiences to activate their potential. I share stories, case studies, and evidence-based research to animate what’s possible within organizations. My interactive style helps participants deepen their insights, share and learn from each other and leave with new strategies for growth and action.
COACHING
As a coach, I partner with you to create positive change
I offer personalized, in-depth assessment and planning based on your deepest aspirations. My goal as a coach is to support and inspire you to your next level of clarity and performance.
CONSULTING
My consulting practice specializes in engaging conflict at work
Conflict in the workplace managed poorly costs organizations millions of dollars each year due to missed deadlines, poor quality, diminished productivity, high stress, low employee morale, and compromised teamwork.
PROGRAMS
I pride myself on creating experiences that stimulate laughter, learning, and connection
My experiential programs and seminars draw on a range of disciplines and methodologies that spark creativity and transfer knowledge and skills back to your workplace.
For over 20 years I have worked as a coach, conflict engagement consultant, and storyteller fascinated by leadership and team-building opportunities in business, high-tech, health care, education and government.
I partner with leaders globally to make a difference through the work they do and the lives they lead. My whole-person approach supports leaders at all levels to face their challenges, gain insight and achieve goals with confidence.
TESTIMONIALS
What my clients say…
Eunjoo Greenhouse
Chief Financial Officer
Community Transit
“Doug has been my leadership coach for the last 3 years. His coaching sessions are supportive and insightful. The sessions often lead to changes in how I show up as a leader and a person. Doug is a creative and fun coach who holds deep conversations lightly. He also facilitated several leadership team conversations, crucial conversations across functional teams which led to a positive relationship and better working results. I’d recommend Doug as a coach, leadership trainer, and facilitator.”
