Doug has helped to introduce us to other ways of improvement outside of ‘just working harder and longer hours’ by “working on the business, not in it”. For the cost of an administrative assistant, Doug has guided me to make decisions and changes for the betterment of the company that no assistant would’ve been able to help me with. You really have to look at it as an investment rather than another cost that you could do without. If you’re truly serious about running a better business and you’re looking for personal growth, take the leap of faith and get started right away. Over the years I’ve had different athletic coaches working with me. Why wouldn’t I want an executive coach, like Doug to train me to become a better leader and human being? The principles that Doug emphasizes have made me a better leader, husband, father, friend and person.

My business has never been better. What I have learned about systems, and not just learned but pushed to implement, has made a huge difference. I feel like I can breathe again. Most importantly, not being overrun by my business has afforded me more time to work on (not in) my business, which has made me a lot of money! And that's really the bottom line! Money well spent with Karie Kaufmann!

As President of a changing and growing company, I’m busy. Really busy. So busy I sometimes can’t see the forest for the trees. My ActionCOACH coach really challenges me to step back and put things in perspective. Sometimes I need to acknowledge my success and how far I’ve come, and sometimes I need to be pushed hard to keep my momentum. Sometimes my coach even makes me laugh at the company or some of my own decisions. And who couldn’t use a little fun in business? Regardless, we’re growing fast and having ActionCOACH on my side is truly valuable.
