Most of Douglas’s clients already speak excellent English. The work is about recovering everything fluency can leave behind: the humor, timing, directness, and confidence that come naturally in their own language.

They often come to him when the stakes have changed—a promotion into leadership, a pitch that needs to land, a move into consulting, or a room they are now expected to lead. Douglas brings decades of experience watching people communicate under pressure and a practiced eye for knowing what to address first.

Alongside individual executive communication coaching, Douglas leads Off the Record, a small-group program, and co-leads an executive retreat in Mallorca with Marco Pasini.
