Scaling a business and building resilience. Over the past few months, Don has provided amazing insights into business growth strategies. Don helped me refocus my efforts related to creating scalable offerings to support organizational growth. One such crucial aspect was the streamlining of our client on-boarding process to lower the engagement barrier created by sensitive digital forensic investigations and eDiscovery projects. On a personal health note, Don has been able to show the importance of mental/physical health as a business owner. Through his coaching I am beginning to incorporate a holistic approach to increase my stamina and resilience.

It’s a well thought out system that helps highlight areas of my lifestyle and leadership that need attention—for growth and exit—that may have been on my radar or just below the surface. Dedicating that time to work on it, especially with other owners going through similar challenges, made me much more mindful and helped me actually start doing something about it.

If you're looking for somebody that has an integrated life—body, heart, mind, spirit—who is developing all parts of who they are while growing their business exponentially…that becomes a really, really small list of people. Don is one of those people, and I highly recommend him if you’re ready to do the work.

The Fast Track gave me the framework and space to step out of the constant firefighting—to stop reacting to every emergency—and actually gain clarity on where to focus my limited time and energy as a business owner. It helped me feel more in control, even in an environment where control is hard to come by.

When you don’t have energy, you don’t have clear thoughts... I was just scattered. But now, I literally walk 45 minutes around the neighborhood, just listening to music, enjoying the day, clearing my mind. That is just key. And it’s easier now—I get more done by making certain decisions quickly. Why didn’t I do that before?

I think community is so critical right now, and I think anytime you're at an inflection point in life, having a community, having a place where you can turn to is so critical to make better decisions faster. A cohort like this gives you an opportunity to meet and engage with peers going through their own version of the same challenges. And Don’s skills as a coach and facilitator serve as an anchor point and guide through that process.

I worked with Don Mclaughlin for almost 10 years at Falcon Discovery, a legal services firm that Don founded and led until its sale in 2014. During this time I watched him literally transform the legal e-Discovery landscape, setting a precedent that most legal services companies are still trying to mimic. I learned a great deal on how to run a company. Don was always encouraging, helpful, and available if I needed any help whatsoever. I can say definitely that Don was key to my career development and I would not be where I am today without his leadership.

A personal and professional transition and transformation. Don was a coach and mentor to me during a time of profound transition. He drew upon a deep well of personal experience and wondrous truths that helped to guide me in highly impactful ways as I navigated significant personal and professional changes in my life. He is a truly inspirational and actionable coach and I would highly recommend Don to anyone in my network that is looking to make positive and lasting change.

Next level performance. I highly recommend Don for organizations and leaders seeking to move to the next level of performance.
