Meet Don

Authenticity, passion, optimism and community drive me as a successful leader. As a certified leadership coach and strategist, facilitator, mentor and LinkedIn author, I guide others to understand how purpose, values, goals and beliefs tangibly show up in their leadership. I’ve learned leadership is so much more than a "job" - it’s spiritual!

Driven to help leaders live better lives by aligning with purpose and crafting actionable plans that impact day-to-day work, I believe being 100% energetically engaged maximizes the opportunity to live into mastery and I strive to lead by example.

I’m known for co-creating individual performance strategies that reduce blocking energy and raise awareness empowering conscious choice. In my role as a coach and strategist, I help clients brainstorm to take control of their career and evolve into the leader they want to be, a leader that fulfills their potential.

My goal is to tailor coaching programs for my clients where they can build on their desire to continually learn, grow and develop. A successful program helps my clients be more intentional about who they want to be, how they want to lead and the energy they want in their lives. Focusing on being the best they can be differentiates my clients in the marketplace while providing a deep sense of fulfillment and purpose.

Education is important to me. I hold a Master of Business and a degree in Management and Communication. I use my education as a foundation to mentor and coach but know my role is to guide. People recognize my ability to think outside the box and help clients find solutions from within.

I have lived in both the New York and Boston metropolitan areas. I love spending time with my wife, married 28 years and my son, an aspiring digital artist and writer. I thrive whenever cooking for family and friends, listening to classic rock music, gardening or connecting over a baseball or football game. A first-generation Camaro enthusiast, my ride of choice is a 1967 Nantucket Blue, Convertible RS/SS.
