Clients Served …

Family Business Owners Planning to Step Back or Exit the Business 

These owners have built a business that revolves around them. They would love to be able to step out of the weeds without losing control so they can enjoy life more – or move on to the next thing. They want to gain time freedom and be able to step back or exit without leaving money on the table.

They identify with challenges like:

  • Transferring their knowledge, skills, and abilities so the business runs without them.
  • Training the next generation of leaders
  • Establishing a succession plan and transitioning strategy
  • Making the best possible decisions about their future

Business Professionals who seek time freedom and satisfying lives

They are lawyers, accountants, and financial advisors who manage an active practice and are well-regarded in their community. They want the freedom to enjoy what they’ve built but they feel like they are in a pie-eating contest where the reward is more pie. 

They identify with challenges like:

  • Growing revenue and profits and escaping the time-for-money trap.
  • Increasing productivity of their professionals and staff
  • Making the most of the time they have through prioritization and delegation
  • Becoming the best leader rather than the highest producer in the firm.

They lead a business with lots of customers and new opportunities. They need to find a way to build capacity and productivity to sustain growth and be ready for coming disruptions

They identify with challenges like:

  • Attracting and retaining high performing employees
  • Building capacity to serve more customers
  • Maintaining and increasing customer satisfaction
  • Building a resilient and sustainable organization

Executives & Professionals Seeking Growth & Career Satisfaction

They are successful professionals and executives. But something is missing. They feel like they are on autopilot and have lost their purpose.  They wonder if this is it. 

They identify with challenges like:

  • Worrying that it is too late to change, or what people will think.
  • Fearing they don’t have any transferable skills.
  • Not knowing what they really want to do – and defaulting to what they know.
  • Not giving themselves permission to explore and discover what they really want
  • Not knowing where to start.

What Clients are Saying …

"Doug is the real deal. He helped me vault my practice forward and enjoy years of sustained growth while I digested and practiced all the lessons learned from him. I’m now back working with him on the graduate course to take my practice even further and to help navigate a changing marketplace in my practice area.

— Atty. Paul Lange

"Doug’s coaching services are invaluable. I’ve attended many coaching seminars with various
companies but have resisted signing up for one-on-one coaching. After listening to one of Doug’s webinars, I decided to take a chance with him and I could not be happier. When I saw the transformation from the actionable steps that Doug created for my practice, I signed up all of the attorneys in my office for his coaching services. Hands down, this is the best decision we made to create a strong foundation for our business and grow our individual practices.

— Atty. Marty Oblasser

" I count on Doug for advice on how to best structure and grow my practice, and he delivers. His insights, strategies, and tips have proven invaluable. I highly recommend him.

— Atty. Steve Kolodziej

" I have learned so much from Doug. His business advice is invaluable. I have used his advice to improve my marketing, billing, and client-relations skills.

— Atty. Thea Martin

" Doug’s experience in business and as a lawyer lets him quickly zero in on the specific issues, skills, and actions I need to address as I grow my practice. He’s an excellent motivator (i.e., he knows how and when to push me in a particular way) and he’s simply a pleasure to work with. I recommend him highly if you’re serious about growing your book of business.

— Atty. Paul Holland

" I knew where I wanted to go, but I needed a strategy and a plan of action to help get me there. Doug Brown provided the answer. He put me on a track by helping me set personal goals and objectives and put into practice important skills to build an effective marketing strategy that will help develop new opportunities. I would recommend Doug’s services to any attorney or business executive seeking to build a strategy and grow his business.

— Atty. Matthew Hallisey

" Doug worked with me to break down the barriers holding us back. He helped me see all of the pieces of the puzzle that needed solving. We are now on a positive path... Doug also helped us implement a focused approach to marketing and sales. Everyone is focused on the success of the company. With Doug’s help it’s getting fun again.

— Dave Drescher, President, Drescher Insurance

" Working with Doug was one of the best investments I could have made in my career. His sound guidance, and incredibly valuable advice, were exactly what I needed to realize my potential.


Doug showed me how to take charge of my career and taught me to effectively market myself to potential employers. Without Doug’s guidance and expertise, I would not have been able to develop the materials and mindset necessary to achieve my career goals. I highly recommend Doug as a coach and confidant. If you are looking for a plan and a coach to grow as a professional, or navigate a career change, Doug is an invaluable asset.

— Atty. Dan Wenger

" What do a lawyer, a business coach, and leadership with heart have in common? Doug Brown. It's a rare combination of sincerity, vision, and care that drives Doug and I have always seen him as a mindful leader, who can tune in, connect and understand what's needed to achieve success. Doug is the kind of person you want to have in your corner when you need to figure out how to not only navigate difficult situations but also run a people-driven business and grow. I admire Doug's ability to listen and truly hear, ask questions, and figure out how to best strategize and proceed. Even if it isn't the easy path forward, Doug will still keep his focus on "how" while also making sure the people around him and those he serves as a leader and a coach, feel included in the solution. I highly recommend that you choose Doug to help you get or keep your life and business on track, and put it all together for growth, especially through challenging times.

— Jeannette Broneé

" Doug was very insightful in taking what seemed to be momentous tasks and simplifying them to make them seem more attainable. My favorite thing he taught me was to be intentional when I set out to accomplish something. I feel itproduced tangible results, as my wife and children noticed a difference in my overall demeanor. A happy household has an amazing trickle-down effect on other aspects of one's life.
Doug was very insightful in making suggestions to better manage time and helped me focus on developing goal-oriented plans. I feel that I now have a great roadmap to reach my goals in the short, intermediate, and long terms. Doug's coaching produced tangible results for me in the form of increased profits for my firm and general attitude improvement.
The attitude adjustments were significant enough for my wife and children to offer unsolicited complimentary observations about my overall demeanor. After several sessions with Doug, I can truly say that I feel happier, more productive, and am on my way to reaching my ultimate goals!

— Atty. David Hicks
