  • I had the privilege of working with Don for just over a year. During that time, Don provided executive coaching and helped me to focus on improving several key leadership competencies.  Don’s approach identifies current strengths that with practice can be leveraged into to be profound strengths. Don’s approach also provided a framework to practice and improve those skills during my normal interactions. I have attended many leadership classes and seminars in my career, none of which were as meaningful and impactful as working with Don. The one-on-one approach allows for nuisance and truly situational skill improvement in lieu of a canned approach to leadership. I am grateful for the opportunity to work with Don and truly believe that after working with Don, I am an improved leader.

    David Kottmyer, Senior Vice President

  • I needed to adapt my leadership style and add skills to get others in the firm to see me as I was currently performing, not reach conclusions from older experiences when I was an immature leader. Don did this effectively. I have subsequently been promoted multiple times and now run a newly launched international division of the firm. His counsel, tricks and tips replay themselves in my head at all the right times. During this difficult process, I never felt judged or lacking during this process, the approach was built on your skills and minimizes your weaknesses.

    Senior Partner

  • Working with Don as a coach was a wonderful experience. He has a reassuring, calming persona that helps you open up and see yourself as others see you. If you have an open mind and listen to his advice, trust in his knowledge and truly want to improve your leadership skills through regular practice, you can accomplish a lot in a short period of time.

    Joe Benzinger, Microbiology Technology Leader

  • We hired Don as a coach for an experienced, technical employee. Don was very effective engaging the employee in the coaching process and utilizing tools that the employee could take into the future past the coaching experience.
