Get Great Results Now!

Is there a gap between where you are and where you want to be? If so, that’s great. It means that you have potential and motivation for action. Don’s entrepreneurial experience focuses his services on the most efficient and effective ways to get you where you want to go. He emphasizes finding immediate value – in other words, “You’ll catch a fish while you learn how to fish.” So what are your hopes? Where do you want to go? Just as in sports, the best players in business, government, and communities are those who have a coach. Explore the value for you.

Support for the Public Sector – Government agencies and non-profits face special challenges. They frequently have many more interests and constituencies to serve than for-profit businesses. Effective action often requires very diverse and, sometimes bickering, factions to find common ground. Despite all of the problems and constraints, there are great opportunities to help government agencies and non-profit groups accomplish amazing results. More than 50 organizations at the local, state, and federal level have benefited from Don’s services.

Do you have a big idea or opportunity in either the public or private sectors? If so, you will benefit from a Moonshot Catalyst. This is a special service to boost and amplify the results of good people with good ideas. Learn more with the one-page Moonshot Catalyst description.
