In this Career Coaching Secrets episode, host Rexhen interviews Douglas Pflug, a retired police officer, leadership coach, and PTSD advocate. Doug shares his story of overcoming childhood adversity and a personal battle with PTSD, which led him to create his coaching business. He helps people find their "granite," or inner strength, to navigate chaos.

Doug's coaching is "life-driven" and focused on helping a diverse range of clients become self-sufficient. His most effective marketing is through his books and by self-sharing his authentic story. All proceeds from his books and coaching are donated to a charity that provides service dogs to those in need.

He advises coaches to build their credibility on authenticity and lived experience, not just certifications.
