Coaching

Transform How You Lead—And How Your Business Performs

You've built something real. But leading it is consuming you in ways you didn't expect.

Coaching with me isn't about cheerleading or generic leadership advice. I work with CEOs and business owners to build the internal capacity to hold bigger numbers, lead bigger teams, and create bigger impact—while simultaneously strengthening the operational systems that make it all sustainable.

This is integrated coaching. We work on you (the nervous system patterns keeping you in reactivity, the capacity ceiling preventing your next level, the energetic patterns attracting chaos instead of cohesion) and your business (the seven operational systems that determine whether you scale or break).

You'll start with The 7-System Operations Assessment™ to identify exactly where your business needs attention—then we use proven frameworks and systems to strengthen those areas while developing your leadership capacity to hold the transformation.

What we address:

For You:

  • Leadership presence under pressure

  • Capacity to hold growth without overwhelm

  • Nervous system regulation for sustainable performance

  • Breaking through your current revenue/impact ceiling

  • Leading with grace instead of grinding

For Your Business:

  • Team stability & retention

  • Operational consistency

  • Leadership effectiveness across your organization

  • Systems & scalability infrastructure

  • Financial performance & controls

  • Owner capacity & burnout prevention

This is for you if:

  • You know your business transformation starts with your own

  • You need both strategic frameworks AND internal development

  • You're ready for truth, not validation

  • You want transformation that lasts—in you and in your operations

Application takes 5 minutes. If we're aligned, we'll schedule a conversation to design your transformation path.

Client Experience

"I have felt so fully present in a way that I haven’t before. I’m finding a new focus and a

higher level of impact, a higher level of service in my business. The results so have been amazing."

~ Josh Aronovitch, Business Owner

Consulting

Architect Your Business for Scale

Most CEOs hit $5M, $10M, or $20M and discover a brutal truth: the systems that got you here will break you at the next level.

What worked through hustle, talent, and your constant intervention doesn't scale. Growth exposes every structural weakness. Your best people burn out. Operational chaos multiplies. The business you built becomes the ceiling you can't break through.

This is where most consultants fail you. They offer templates without context. Strategy without customization. Systems that look impressive on paper but collapse under the weight of real operations, and real people.

I don't consult from theory. I consult from experience.

I led a multi-location business for 14 years. I transformed operational chaos into 99.5% retention and 600% revenue growth by building architecture that integrated operational excellence with human performance—systems that didn't just function, but scaled under pressure.

When we work together, I become your strategic partner in building what lasts. We assess all seven of your operational systems, diagnose the constraints strangling your growth, and design the infrastructure that supports profitable scale—without bottlenecking at you, breaking your people, or burning out your nervous system.

This is comprehensive transformation—the kind that positions your business for acquisition, succession, or sustained market dominance.

What We Architect:

Operational Structure

  • Multi-location consistency that doesn’t depend on your presence

  • Systems that scale without fracturing under complexity

  • Infrastructure designed for your 3-year vision—not just next quarter

Financial Command

  • Controls that give you real-time clarity and strategic confidence

  • Profitability by design, not accident

  • Capital efficiency that maximizes every dollar

Experience Design

  • Customer journey architecture that creates competitive advantage

  • Delivery systems that maintain quality at scale

  • Brand consistency that builds enterprise value

Retention Architecture

  • Loyalty systems that make 90%+ retention inevitable

  • Culture that compounds instead of erodes with growth

  • Teams that stay, perform, and elevate—because they feel seen and supported

Leadership Multiplication

  • Frameworks that develop leaders who think and act like owners

  • Decision-making systems that don’t bottleneck at you

  • Succession readiness (whether you’re exiting or expanding)

Scale Infrastructure

  • Systems built to support 3x–10x growth

  • Readiness assessment before expansion—not after

  • Risk mitigation calibrated to the growth stage you’re entering

This is for you if:

  • Your business is generating $2M–$10M and ready for its next evolution

  • You’re preparing to scale, acquire, or position for exit

  • Your current systems are fragile and growth feels like it will break everything

  • You need someone who's built what you're building, not theorized about it

  • You’re ready to invest at the level this transformation requires

  • You want a strategic partner, not a vendor

  • You care about performance, but not at the cost of people

This is NOT for you if:

  • Your business is pre-revenue

  • You're looking for quick fixes or band-aid solutions

  • You want someone to execute tactics while you stay unchanged

  • You're not ready to invest significantly in foundational transformation

  • You want a consultant to tell you what you want to hear

Applications are reviewed personally. If we're aligned, you'll be invited to schedule a complimentary strategic consultation where we'll assess your business, identify your primary constraints, and determine if this partnership is the right fit.

"Revenue is up over 50%! The momentum is building.
The growth is exponential and that feels quite exhilarating!

Transformational Personal Work

Reclaim Your Energy, Rewire Your Patterns

Sometimes it’s not about work, it’s about life. When life is lifing and it’s a struggle it’s time for deeper internal shifts that create space for everything else to change so you can find more joy and less struggle.

Applied Neuro-Performance Techniques™ addresses what's underneath everything: your relationship with money and worthiness, your capacity to receive what you've worked so hard to create, the patterns you inherited that are running your relationships and decisions, the grief or trauma that's shaping how you show up in the world.

This is sacred work. Personal work. The kind that transforms how you experience your entire life.

Who's it for?

  • Emotional overwhelm, anxiety, or repetitive negative patterns

  • Wanting clarity and direction in your life

  • Tired of hustling without fulfillment 

  • Loss or grief

  • Relationship challenges

  • Career pivots

  • Burnout or feeling “off course” in life

This isn't about optimization or performance. It's about liberation.

If you're feeling the call for transformation that goes deeper than external achievement, this path is for you.

This work happens on a separate site designed for the depth this path requires.

Client Experience

"Our company is a multi-million dollar small firm that would not have gotten there without Donnalynn and certainly would not have maintained it either.

We hire Donnalynn over all other guides/coaches,
and hire her time and again for more coaching, direction and advise.

That is not only because she is excellent, and the ROI is awesome, but also because she is kind, loving and caring even while telling you that you REALLY need to make a change. A rare gift indeed."

~ The Interior Edge, NYC

Events

Gather. Learn. Transform.

I host intimate, high-impact gatherings for visionary CEOs ready to lead in a new way—where operational precision meets energetic mastery.

These aren’t networking events—they’re built for breakthroughs. Together, we explore the edge where business structure meets personal expansion—so the system evolves, and the CEO does too.

Past events have included:

  • Thriving $MM CEO Party 

  • CEO Secrets Event

  • The Business Investment That Pays Off Most

  • The Amazing Power of Words in Your Business

  • The 90% Retention Roundtable 

  • Scale-Ready CEO Intensives

  • Integration workshops

  • Intimate CEO dinners

Every event is a curated experience with CEOs who know that real scale demands systems that support soul—and soul that can hold the system.

See what's coming next and reserve your seat.

Not Sure Where to Start?

Let's figure it out together.

Maybe you need coaching. Maybe consulting. Maybe both. Maybe something else entirely.

Book a complimentary consultation and we'll assess where you are, what's blocking you, and which path creates the transformation you're looking for.

No pitch. No pressure. Just clarity on what you need next.

On this call, we'll:

  • Assess your current situation across operations, leadership, and capacity

  • Identify your primary constraint (what's holding everything else back)

  • Determine which approach creates breakthrough fastest

  • Map what working together could look like

This is for you if:

  • You know something needs to change but you're not sure what

  • You want an honest assessment of where to focus first

  • You're exploring whether we're the right fit

  • You value clarity over sales tactics

30 minutes. No obligation. Just honest guidance on your next right move.

The Choice Is Yours

You didn't build this business to be consumed by it.

You built it to lead, to grow, to create something that lasts.

Whether you need operational systems that actually work, leadership capacity that expands with you, or transformation that reshapes how you lead, there’s a path forward.

The question isn't if transformation is possible.

The question is: Are you willing to lead from the version of you that can hold what comes next?
