He has the ability to be highly focused on developing awareness of my own unique recipe for success, and he challenged me to look deep into how my value to date made a difference.

In many ways, his process gave me a reason to follow my own path and be happy about it, regardless of the outcome. I like how he identified his experiences with his knowledge and made it all real to bring home the learning. He communicates very well as a trainer and coach. One thing that I miss is the many "Ah-Ha" moments during class! He gently but stoically helps us realize that we are all-powerful in our own areas and uncovers the gems that have been there all along.

Douglas will not be easy on his students as a coach, but good coaches do that. He understands that results come through work. He is here to listen, guide and give us the structure and knowledge to develop ourselves in the process. All our outcomes will be different, but he will push us to find an outcome that is perfect for us. Trust him to do that for you; it will be worth it.

Thanks, Douglas; I look forward to our next adventure again!

He is the kind of guy who always asks that one question that I hate to answer. But answering that question also allows me to break through.

One thing that came up was when I was facing a dilemma. He just asked me one question (without giving me the answer), and I got my clarity back on track.

And even on matters relating to personal relationships, it’s the same as well. The questions he asked will set me thinking and dig deep into my real self.

In short, he’s not the guy who will say what you wish to hear. He’s the guy who will tell you what you kind of know but didn’t feel like facing it. And that has made a difference for me.
