“Over the past six months I have benefited a lot from my coaching with Doug. The outcome from the course definitely exceeded my high expectations. Doug has helped me to see the big picture and lift myself away from the detail and look at things from different angles. Doug has helped me put clear shape to my strategy with steps to deliver it and to communicate efficiently my vision to my reports and corporate management.
I got a lot of benefit from the online videos on “Engaging Style of Communication” and “Eight Strategic Thinking Frameworks”. Doug has made everything in them simple and concise and easy to apply. I will keep applying the learning from them in my professional and personal life .
Learning from the course already helped me to be even more successful in my current role and will help to grow further in my business career. So I would highly recommend Doug as an excellent business coach to anybody who wants to achieve new horizons in business and people management.”

“Doug Lambert has had shared ownership of the design and implementation of our “Career Enhancement” programs in 2016 and 2017.The programs were designed to prepare selected Emirati talent for high profile positions linked to our business needs and succession plans.
The programs included a combination of one to one coaching, and workshops and projects and self - assessments to help bring the best out of selected high potentials as they developed as leaders and role models. The outcomes from the programs have been exceptional and have exceeded our high expectations. All the delegates have grown and developed significantly and are now taking on bigger responsibilities.
Key to the success of the programs has been Doug’s strong shared ownership of every aspect of the program and the development of the unique needs of each individual. We felt that Doug had become part of our family. He consistently goes the extra mile to ensure the best possible outcome for us.
Doug’s one to one coaching and group facilitation style leverages his extensive business and executive coaching experience and enables talent to be at their best.”
