Welcome to Coaching
Enough already!
What are you sick of?
Boredom? Frustration? Fear? Lack of deep connections? Never finishing meaningful projects? Never starting them? Settling? Not using your voice? Feeling blocked? Life happens to you, not for you, or because of you? The future never arrives?
Until you choose to make core, lasting shifts in who you are being, your future will remain fairly predictable.
A great coaching relationship shines a spotlight on what you can’t see, and gives you a path into greater possibility.
This is a profound opportunity to come home to who and what you truly are, creating it yourself, from a future of your choosing.

“Doug was instantly easy to open up and be vulnerable with, and his reflections and thoughtful questions really helped me see areas of my life more clearly. Doug helped me initiate the rewriting of my own script to start the process of clearly identifying what I want from this life, and what areas might be holding me back.

“Doug is an inspired motivator. It’s exciting to work with him: he takes charge of the moment with passion, creativity, and care, moving you forward without budging from his stand for your greatness, while always, always coming from a space of love.”
A Life Transformed
I was sick of myself. I looked good on paper. Family. Kids. TV credits. An MBA. Head of Sales that lead a lucrative acquisition. Good health. Travel. How, then, could I feel incomplete?
I was masterful at sales. But I didn’t believe in the product. I was booking just enough work in my acting hobby to keep an agent but I wasn’t blowing anybody away with my performances.
There was a recurring pattern of success and failure. There was an underlying sadness and pessimism.
Until I met coaching, which revealed (and continues to do so), how I was at cause for all I didn’t want, and could be at cause for all I do want.
The mirror of coaching revealed deep, painful bullshit that I’d been lugging around for decades: conflicting beliefs, fears, and ultimately pessimism and a lack of self-worth.
Today, people ask me: “What are you doing? You’re different. You seem really good.” And I love that I can reply: “Thank you, I am!”
My life has transformed, my happiness and true wealth are growing exponentially. I don’t have to believe in this product: I’m living the powerful results this work continually creates.
Leadership in Your Own Life
Leadership Redefined.
Leadership. The word always sounded corporate to me. Today leadership is a gift I’ve given to myself. It is how I show up in all areas of my life. As a Parent, Actor, Life-Coach, Friend, Partner, Colleague, dad. Everywhere.
It means rejecting statements like, “That’s just how I am,” and “That’s just the way things are.”It means taking a stand for who you want to be.
It is a willingness to outgrow conditioning, old stories and beliefs, taking total ownership of the choices you make, understanding why you are making them.
It means knowing who you bring to life will be reflected back by life.
What do you want? What do you really want?
Knowing why you want something opens a world of possibility. You say you want a different career? Why? What will that do for you?
The true essence of what you want lies within the answer to that question.
Not Therapy. Not Consulting.
Coaching is a learning technology.
Great coaching makes transformation (meaningful, lasting change) possible by guiding you to a place where you no longer require guidance. You are the expert on you.
Coaching is a mirror held up before you. A light that gives your “stuff” nowhere to hide, giving you a path forward.
Coaching doesn’t tell you what to do, it asks what you want to create.
It’s Not Your Fault.
We were all children once. We were walking curiosity, joy, and possibility. And we were vulnerable to every worldly influence.
Layer upon layer formed. Seeking security, love, and acceptance, we responded to life by making decisions about what was safe to do, who it was safe to bend shoved down what felt dangerous.
The Real You
You are reading this for a reason. Your dreams are not an accident. Good things happening are not a fluke. You’re entitled to feelings of love, accomplishment, leadership, joy.
People can change. You can be the author of your life. You are worthy. Beyond worthy!
The world needs the biggest, best, most beautiful version of you.
Do you believe that?
If not, would you like to explore why, allowing that it might be true?
And then say, “Enough! Let’s do it. I’m in
