Credentials open the door. Experience keeps you in the room.
Douglas combines graduate-level study in teaching, sport pedagogy, and behavior change with more than two decades of real leadership: building businesses, developing teams, coaching individuals through career and life transitions, and advising founders and executives on growth and execution.
He does not coach from theory. He coaches from having lived the pressure of performance, the weight of responsibility, and the discipline required to keep moving forward.
