As Chairman of the Board, I recently had the opportunity to work with Doug on a strategic planning effort for the New York Society of Association Executives. Doug was terrific in working with Association leaders. His high touch, vast knowledge of planning skills and focus on critical success factors was invaluable.

Doug is an incredible coach. His insight is invaluable, and his process is creative and productive. He has an ability to see things in others that they might never find on their own. I can't recommend him highly enough!
Kyle Althof

Doug is a great coach. He gets you to think outside of the box and gives great scenarios as well as his past experiences in order to expand your views. He is very insightful. The creative methods and ways of thinking he incorporates into his coaching are beneficial in both a business and personal sense. His guidance has proven to be effective and I often think back to our sessions when making decisions and setting goals.I would recommend Doug as a coach to anyone looking to learn and grow as a manager, professional, or person.
