“I screened many potential CEO coaches before deciding to work with Dane. What stood out for me then and has definitely proven out over time is Dane’s gift for identifying and addressing the underlying drivers of behaviors. Dane exceeded my expectations with a repeatable process that helps bring about positive change in those behaviors and directly overcomes the obstacles to personal and professional growth. Our work together has helped me build a more powerful team, improve how groups collaborate, and ultimately achieve our desired goals. I’m quite grateful to work with him." - Jorey Ramer, Co-Founder & CEO, Super

“Coaching has been extremely valuable to me and my business. I've overcome a lot of personal limitations and decisions I've made for my company as a result have saved or generated hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dollars and wouldn't have happened without coaching with Dane. Decode coaching is a really great way to level yourself up and manage the stress of running a business. Dane's great because he's got the combination of listening and being proactive. He helps me work through problems socratically, asking questions until I find the answer myself. He also knows when to step in to give practical hands-on advice based on his own lived experience as a CEO and founder." Jaime Cox, Co-Founder & CEO, Treecard

"My experience working with Dane has been transformational. He strikes the perfect balance of holding me accountable to my development goals while making sure I am well supported on the journey. The most impactful aspect of coaching with Dane is that he really sees my blind spots. Having somebody call me out on my bullshit is really important because as a Founder I don’t get the critical feedback from the team that I need to maximize my growth as a CEO.” - Aye Moah, Co-Founder & CEO, Baydin (Boomerang)

"Dane is a fantastic coach who knows exactly how to draw inspiration out of his clients. Through masterful empathic communication and programming, he helped me change both my internal and external worlds. He did so not by offering prescriptions, but instead by acting as a bright mirror reflecting me back to myself more clearly. The work that we did together was deeply personal and improved not only my work life but also my social life and romantic relationship. Since we started working together, I have made many important life decisions that were previously paralyzing me and have a more positive outlook on my past and future. I really enjoyed our time together and would recommend working with Dane to anyone." - Mark Weinstein, Partner, Mechanism Capital
