About Me:

I’m Doug Howard PE and I help engineering managers and leaders increase their impact by showing them how to influence, motivate, and inspire all types of people in any situation - professionally and personally!

Leadership requires a whole different skill set that many engineers are never taught - because in most cases, you don’t have any positive role models to learn from.

Meanwhile, traditional leadership training courses and books tell you WHAT to do in specific situations, and assume you’re naturally outgoing and people-oriented - but this doesn’t work for engineers…

As an engineer, you need to understand HOW and WHY something works before you can absorb, adapt, and apply it in ways that work for you!

Today, I use this framework to teach engineers how to develop an effortless leadership style that is directly aligned with your core values, natural personality, and unique strengths - as well as utilize these skills to your advantage in every area of your life!

I post new episodes every week - SUBSCRIBE to my channel if you don’t want to miss out on any of these insights!
