I’m really grateful for the time and level of thought and care with which Dane approached every conversation.”

“Working with Dane is a truly pivotal experience. His support & advice were so important to me during the most nerve-racking period for every founder: fundraising. From prioritization to re-finding purpose and meaning, Dane contributed so much to my journey and I can't recommend his coaching services enough!"

“CEO Coaching with Dane Holewinski has consistently exceeded my highest expectations. I approached this coaching relationship seeking advice on effectively scaling my organization as it was experiencing rapid growth following my Series A Funding Round. Dane's holistic framework was exceptionally effective in uncovering the ways in which personal aspects of my life influence the way in which I show up professionally as a leader, and it was quite effective in helping me to develop actionable strategies for optimizing both of these aspects of my life as CEO. I cannot overstate the value that I have received from Dane's coaching program, and I enthusiastically recommend it to any CEO!"

“Dane helped me dig below the surface-level challenges to identify root causes and use those insights to grow. He draws on his experience as a startup Founder and executive to help me and the team build the capabilities, mindsets and skills needed to succeed at each stage of our growth."

"Every great athlete has coaches and trainers, yet as entrepreneurs and executives we quite often feel like we have to go it alone. With Dane and Decode I was guided with a framework to leverage my strengths, discover my growth areas and programmatically build to become the best version of myself, professionally and personally. Most importantly, the people around me, at work and at home, saw the next levels of achievement, happiness and well-being."

"Dane has been one of the strongest sources of support for both Tammy (my co-founder) and I through our company building journey thus far. He is able to strike that perfect balance between promoting my own self discovery and providing active mentorship and encouragement - that feels qualified by his own entrepreneurial experiences - when I need it. My co-founder and I have also enjoyed participating in co-coaching sessions with Dane, which have helped us make space for the important deeper conversations that can get otherwise forgotten in the day to day operations. These conversations have strengthened our relationship and established the right foundation for us to build a lasting company together."

"I screened many potential CEO coaches before deciding to work with Dane. What stood out for me then and has definitely proven out over time is Dane’s gift for identifying and addressing the underlying drivers of behaviors. Dane exceeded my expectations with a repeatable process that helps bring about positive change in those behaviors and directly overcomes the obstacles to personal and professional growth. Our work together has helped me build a more powerful team, improve how groups collaborate, and ultimately achieve our desired goals. I’m quite grateful to work with him."

Our work together allowed me to find the space to be more strategic, build a powerful exec team, delegate and build the foundation for a world-class company all while being less stressed, healthier and happier.”

“Coaching with Dane helped me recognize the impact my weaknesses were having on my company. Through our work together, I addressed these areas and have received incredible feedback from my team about changes in my leadership style. This has helped unlock company growth."

Working together with Dane, we were supported in having productive hard conversations, align on a common vision and build the communication skills necessary to operate as partners. Dane has helped me grow as a leader, prioritize the important, and live a happier and healthier life along the way”

“I approached Dane in the spring of 2020 about ways to improve my working relationship with my business partner. Dane pushed me to turn inward to explore and understand root causes within me that I subconsciously allowed to impact things. Dane helped me discover that my ability to change the situation was dependent on accepting accountability for my contribution and fundamentally changing my approach - I had been trying to change my business partner, which was only making things worse. Once I was able to come to terms with owning my part of the equation, I was able to see the situation from an outsider's perspective. This brought about an immense sense of peace and acceptance which in turn helped allow my business partner to see and hear my perspective.”

“Coaching with Dane & Decode changed the trajectory of my life and helped me find clarity, confidence and purpose. Dane's deep understanding of the patterns of the mind coupled with his masterful listening helped me illuminate the root causes of my thoughts and actions.

“The value of coaching with Decode is immeasurable. It is a step by step process and, with the guidance and support of Dane, you will grow as a person and a leader.”

“Credit to Dane’s coaching for helping me become a better leader. He unpacks and challenges my default thinking, enabling me to see the most difficult situations as opportunities for personal growth. Beyond merely talking about actions, he holds me accountable for practicing the practices I need to develop as our company grows. Through reflection and insights we turn practices into habits, and from there we take on the next challenge!"
