Doug Erwin is a Executive and Personal Development Coach at Self-employed. He possess expertise in entrepreneurship, start ups, business development, management, fundraising and 31 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "It’s hard to know where to begin when recommending Doug. He is a champion for so many things and as advisor on so many levels. Whether is the startup ecosystem or confusion about work/life direction and balance Doug is always my go-to mentor, coach and friend. His approach peels away the layers that you actually thought you’d super glued on. He has a way of gently, yet effectively, making you look at things and actually address them - not just brush them aside and think “problem solved!” It takes a special person to transition from a business coach to a life coach to a family therapist but I feel like Doug manages all three. My life is better with him in it!!" and "Doug has been my coaching client for a little over a year. He's dedicated to becoming not just a more effective leader, but a better person. He always shows up for sessions prepared to do deep work. He's thoughtful, curious, open-minded, conscientious, and willing to be vulnerable. In short, he's incredibly coachable. Earlier this year, Doug attended the first cohort of my coaching training program, Coaching From Essence. Again, he showed up humbly with the attitude of a learner. He also participated in the second cohort this summer to deepen his skills. Doug brings exceptional patience, empathy, compassion, and care to his work—and years of experience as an entrepreneur, servant leader, and master community builder. Most importantly, Doug is just a great human being. It's a sincere privilege to work with him, and you will not be disappointed if you have the opportunity."
