Welcome

Is Stress interfering with your work or personal life?

Do you want to be more creative, and have a better relationship with yourself and others?

Are you serious about what you most deeply want?

If you want life-changing and sustainable results, you have come to the right place.

I have helped hundreds of individuals, couples and organisations transform their lives over the last 30 years. I have also been through the mill myself, having faced and successfully turned around some very challenging and stressful situations in my own life.

I know what it’s like from the inside. I’ve experienced it myself, so I have first-hand knowledge in addition to my professional training!

Here’s what some of my clients have to say: (there’s more on the testimonials page) :

“Thank you again for the help you provided. It’s made my life a pretty fun place to be and allowed me to appreciate it and the people around me more than ever” S.C., I.T. Consultant, Sydney

I would highly recommend Donald to all organisations who wish to develop and grow successfully” A.P., CEO, Melbourne

What I love about Donald’s work is that I can be all of me. I don’t need to hide! R.B., Psychotherapist, Melbourne

Here’s how we can work together to create the results you want:

Call me at my Office( 02 9413 9794) or mobile phone(0412 178 234). Make sure you leave a message if you get my voicemail, as I deal with all calls personally and I don’t answer the phone when I’m with clients.

We’ll talk for a few minutes on the phone initially, to decide whether what you’re looking for and what I have to offer match up. If they do, we set up an initial appointment.

Where possible I prefer meeting you face-to-face at least for the first session. When this isn’t practical we talk on the phone instead.

This session gives us both the opportunity to assess your situation, and by the end of this initial session we decide whether we want to continue working together. If we do, we typically commit to a series of five one-hour sessions(this number can vary) at the end of which we re-assess the situation and decide whether and how to proceed.

Sometimes groupwork may be more suitable than individual sessions, in which case we discuss our options, depending on what workshops are available at the time.

In the case of organisations, we may set up in-house sessions.

We work with all of you, including your body and your feelings, not just with your mind.

(Parents & Teachers click here)
We offer individual sessions (face-to-face and phone), couples and small group sessions, and in-house and public workshops.
Donald is also available for speaking engagements.

We work with all aspects of yourself, including your body and your feelings, not just your mind. So your mental, emotional and physical intelligences are all working together.

When all parts of you work together, you will be much more effective.

You will feel less stressed, and find that you can create more with less effort.

Stress is replaced by excitement as your driving force, and your overall health, effectiveness and enjoyment of life are enhanced.

Because You Are Unique

Core Development enables you to know yourself better, & discover aspects of yourself that you may not be aware of.

By getting to know yourself better, you are able to deal more effectively with life’s challenges and live a richer, healthier and more fulfilling life.

If you want less stress, more energy and better relationships, call 02 9413 9794 or 0412 178 234

Advanced Executive and Leadership Coaching

With so many different styles and schools of coaching, the terms “executive coach” and “leadership coach” can have many different meanings.

What executive and leadership coaching means for us is working side-by-side and step-by-step with you, the decision-maker, and perhaps also with your management team and staff, enabling you to achieve your goals whilst reducing stress and improving your health and enjoyment of life.

We help you take the pressure off so you can be happier and more successful in all areas of your life - Personal, Professional and Social.

Team Building and Effective Communication

The successful operation of a team of individuals depends on the relationships between the team members and is more than - and different from - the sum total of the talents of its members.

Just as when oxygen and hydrogen combine to form water the properties of water are different from its constituent elements hydrogen and oxygen.

That’s why we work primarily with these relationships, helping the team members to communicate effectively and work successfully as a team to achieve more with less effort.
