I hold the position of Senior Director of Engineering at Rippling, and I recently collaborated with Douglas for executive coaching to develop one of my promising talents. This engineer possesses a steep learning curve and plays a pivotal role in various aspects of the company's strategy, encompassing both product and technical domains. However, they lacked prior experience in such a capacity.

It goes without saying that securing coaching for this emerging leader held significant importance. Following eight one-hour sessions with Douglas, the transformation has become evident to me, both as a manager and a stakeholder in the success of this highly cross-functional, multi-disciplinary performer.

This individual now demonstrates greater patience, wisdom, and intentionality in their approach to strategic thinking, planning, and cross-functional communication. The change is remarkable.

I wholeheartedly recommend Douglas as a coach, as I can directly attribute the coaching to tangible, business-level impact, resulting in a more engaged and content leader within our organization. More...
