“Douglas combines a strong knowledge of working in Multi-National Companies along with an extensive experience of the business environment in Asia.  The coaching process is enriched by being free from text-book methods or a prescriptive focus. I found the whole experience invaluable. I would not hesitate in recommending Douglas to anyone who is willing to embrace some level of change to strengthen his or her managerial ability.” – Chris Daniells, Country Head, Cathay Pacific
