Leading

through Change

Are you leading your life or is your life leading you?

How do you transform change into opportunities? Leadership is a capacity inherent in each of us that we can choose to develop. Whether you are interested in personal or professional growth, your opportunity is to step into your leadership potential.

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.

“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.”

“Doug is exactly what I was looking for in a coach. He took the time to understand and clarify my life and work goals, guided me through a process to identify potential solutions, and helped me to identify and answer fundamental issues that were blocking my progress. While it was hard work at times, Doug’s optimism, empathy, and expertise helped me to come out on the other side with a clear plan that I’ve put into action, and I’m in a much better place as a result.”
