“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.”

“Doug is an excellent trainer. When he taught Leading through Conflict to our employees, he demonstrated his ability to facilitate learning instead of just dishing out information. He knows his subject well and has the flexibility to adapt to changing audiences and circumstances. It was a pleasure partnering with him for this project and I hope to have many more opportunities to work with him.”

“Among some six coaches I’ve worked with, none has been more present, creative, adept, and effective than Doug. He has been masterful at guiding me to craft meaningful goals and breaking them down into digestible, achievable steps. His compassion has allowed me the room to focus on the challenges that burn brightest in each session, his attentive listening skills have kept him attuned to my squirrelly dodging, and his humor engages me and keeps me from dodging too long.”
