Unlock Your Potential with Productivity Coaching
My Mission
Hi, I’m Derek. My mission is to save a lot of people a lot of time. Productivity coaching is just one of the ways I do that. With 20+ years of experience across accounting, finance, operations, development, and sales, I’ve got quite a lot of perspective, and helped hundreds of people work more productively. More about me…
Why professional coaching?
Great coaches inspire us to be our best. They see what we can’t or won’t. They challenge us and hold us accountable. They bring years of experience and a proven gameplan.
Why can’t I learn myself?
The most successful people I know don’t learn like everyone else. They don’t spend hours scouring the internet searching for answers. They don’t make mistake after mistake. They learn from the best. They know they aren’t years away from their dream job, they’re skills away. They blend coaching perspectives with their own experiences, and turn them into a superpower.
Why me?
Efficiency and productivity have been my focus for 20+ years. Thousands of conversations have molded my thinking to develop proven systems for success. I use practical approaches that work quickly and continuously. And then I learn from you and share that with others, because iron sharpens iron.
