I turn executives into crisis-ready leaders who protect their people and thrive under pressure.
5.0(9 Reviews)Executives hire me to become crisis‑ready leaders, able to meet the moment when it all goes wrong, and not just survive, but thrive and lead with integrity, protecting their business and most importantly, their people.
Are you asking: How do I lead through big changes? What happens if my team fails? How do I manage all of this? Where do I start? How much longer can I keep this up?
I've been there.
I learned leadership on the streets. As a police officer and EMT I took charge in the toughest situations and the worst conditions. As a supervisor I led from the front and focused on the mission. As a leader I connected my values to what really mattered, the people I served. Now I show others how to work, lead and live by their values.
The world is complex. Our brains and how we process are complex as well. To gain clarity we must know ourselves, create our vision, and commit to what matters. You can do this. I will show you how.
Ask me about a specific leadership, professional or personal growth challenge you have. I will respond in a video that includes: 1) Analysis of the challenge through my Magnifying Glass Model, 2) Add context about human behavior, best practices and leadership principles, 3) 5 specific action steps for you to take, and 4) 5 additional resources that will help you act or learn more. This offer will be free until October 31, 2026.
This is a free call to meet and discuss a challenge you are facing. Limit one free session per person.
We'll take 60 minutes to work through the challenge you are facing and develop actionable steps for you to move forward.

“I had a very helpful session with Doug. He is clearly knowledgeable about crisis negotiation and how people can think and respond when a situation becomes stressful. I brought him several scenarios, and he gave me practical exercises to work through, explained how to prepare ahead of time, and helped me think about how to avoid losing a clear head in the moment. Doug was clear, concise, friendly, and very easy to work with. I left with useful steps I can apply now and a better framework for handling difficult situations in the future. I would highly recommend a session with him.”

“Doug paid close attention to my question and the context with it and clearly understood my situation and curiosity. THAT impressed me. He didn't breeze through it and assume. He was thoughtful and thorough with his response and I'd add, generous. He also asked thoughtful and sound questions to stimulate my thinking and consideration regarding my mission and deepen the discussion. First time using EveryExpert and Doug provided a high-degree of insight and the clarity through his answers and questions, that I sought and really needed.”
