“Dr. Douglas Lindsay offered his leadership and coaching expertise to our school district in Southeastern Ohio. He invested the necessary time to meet with all of our leadership teams. This included individual sessions with teachers, administrators, students, and board members. After taking the time to listen and to ask reflective follow-up questions, Dr. Lindsay provided an unbiased and detailed report that leaned into our organizational strengths. He demonstrated an intent to listen, to ask questions, and to allow each team to feel heard. As the superintendent, he provided me with tangible action steps to mitigate our areas of concern by investing in what was strong.  I would enthusiastically recommend Dr. Lindsay to any organization in the private or public sector.”

“I’ve had the pleasure to work with Jimmy as my executive business coach and although the challenges and goals change there’s been one constant, his ability to keep me focused and motivated. At times the answer to my questions are obvious, so many times he helped me to get out of my own way, trust the path to success, and work the plan. I value his opinion and outlook even when they didn’t line up with my own. Jimmy is a wealth of knowledge and experience and my success has been in large part due to his dedication to helping me succeed.”
