About Dane Holewinski

I'm a former CEO & VC-backed founder whose passion is helping mission-driven entrepreneurs achieve their potential and leave a lasting impact on the world. I strive every day to be my clients’ most trusted partner on their journey – supporting them in the darkest valleys, challenging them to peaks they thought unreachable and holding them accountable so they grow faster than their companies.My coaching is grounded in the latest scientific research, coaching best practices and deep operating experience. I'm a former strategy consultant with over a decade of experience building technology companies in Silicon Valley with lessons from successful exits and failures. I believe in the power of practice and draw on meditation, exercise and breathwork to maximize the impact of coaching.At Decode, we partner with startup CEOs to navigate the immense opportunity and intense pressure of rapid growth while developing their practice of the four pillars of Essential Leadership:1) Conscious - leading with self awareness and a curious desire to understand yourself, others and the world.2) Authentic - Leading in integrity to your essential self and values.3) Transformational - Leading in a way that moves people towards their highest potential.4) Regenerative - Leading in a way that enriches all impacted systems (from your team and company to humanity and the environment).I received coaching training from Bob Kegan & Lisa Lahey (Harvard Graduate School of Education), Damian Goldvarg (President, International Coaching Federation) and James Flaherty (Founder, New Ventures West). I graduated summa cum laude from Georgetown University where I studied Finance, Entrepreneurial Management & Psychology.

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.
