Coaching philosophy
I believe three main pillars are the foundation for healthy and successful leadership, self-actualization and professional growth:
* Psychological Performance
* Storytelling and Stakeholder Engagement
* Crisis Leadership/Navigating Ambiguity
Clients who would be a good fit
Programs are category agnostic. Good fit: corporate C-Suite/senior execs (multiple complex stakeholder relationships), women in the C-Suite/senior leadership (half of my clients), and PE/VC-backed.
What makes a coaching relationship successful?
A client is transparent and expects honest feedback. They want to be actively coached, seek to be challenged, are disciplined and willing to make tradeoffs in pursuit of meaningful goals.

In the fast-moving business world, leadership determines success. Working with Damon has transformed how I think about leadership and who I am as a leader. He is the rare combination of coach, strategist and collaborator. He drives for long-term impact with immediate results.
The past decades, women have been told to put their head down, don’t be a badass. Damon gave me a new perspective, confidence and set of tools to use my strengths as a woman to lead in this next chapter of business.
CEO / Fortune 100
His understanding of what makes a business tick from his Wall Street days certainly helped a great deal, but Damon also had a sensitivity to the unique personalities of business leaders and the challenges we face both professionally and personally.
COO / Fintech
Damon helped me during one of the biggest shifts in my personal and professional evolutions. The work helped me focus on what matters and take tangible steps towards what really matters in achieving big goals on a daily basis.
Damon’s experience as an entrepreneur - as opposed to a ‘coach’ with a strictly coaching background - combined with the tools he employs kept me grounded throughout the process.
