If you’re in a career transition - after a layoff from a large corporate or government role, changing jobs for the better, or stepping into a more meaningful phase of retirement - you’re often given guidance that’s incomplete.
Outplacement support is designed to help you re-enter the workforce quickly - not to show you how to regain leverage, expand your options, or redesign your future.
I will.
I’ll walk you through the career, business and financial strategies, decisions, and opportunities they don’t share and frankly just don't know so you can move forward with clarity, control, and confidence.
For more than 12 years, one of the largest outplacement firms in the world, Lee Hecht Harrison, brought me in to help their clients find financial success.
During that time we helped literally thousands of people experiencing exactly what you're going through right now.
ENJOY OUR FREE PODCAST ANYTIME YOU WANT. WE'LL SHOW YOU HOW TO:
Get the job you need right now.
Start a side hack that creates reliable, monthly income you can scale to any level you want.
Create a personalized financial blueprint that gives you the fastest path to retirement and financial freedom.
For over three decades, I’ve guided people in building financial blueprints rooted in what they actually want from life—not just numbers on a page.
When that clarity is paired with an income you control—predictable, scalable, and unconstrained—you create momentum toward financial freedom faster than most people ever imagine.

What Others Say:
Working with Doug and his team has been a highly satisfying experience. I've known him and his team members for more than 20 years and I am very excited about what he is doing and his passion to help others.
Over the years, he has helped me see to it that I have been able to meet and enjoy all my financial goals.
This new endeavor is very exciting and I know his commitment to getting things going and the ongoing pursuit of quality.
Ann S
I met Doug when I went through his workshop at Lee Hecht Harrison after being laid off from Hewlett Packard.
I wasn't sure if I really wanted to find another career, I really wanted to retire. He helped show my wife and I how we could get the retirement we wanted as soon as possible. I'm not sure we did it in 30 days, probably becasue of me. I suppose we could have.
I am very excited about this new endeavor to help people where LHH left off and beyond.
Kelly E.
I've worked with Doug and his team for about 12 years and truly appreciate the work he has done for me regarding the planning and coaching to help me reach my goals.
He and I met through Lee Hecht Harrison at his financial workshop. He always works to come up with new ideas that are centered around all my best interests.
Financial, business, career and insightful are ways I'd descibe him. I'm really excited about this and his other new projects he is bringing to market.
Steve H.
When my husband and I met Doug, we had been laid off from a huge telephone and internet company. We met him at Lee Hecht Harrison many years ago.
He was able to calm us down and make us feel confident about our financial future. He guided us specifically to what we needed to do to make sure our life was on track.
Many years after we met Doug, my husband, Tom passed away. When that happened, Doug helped me get through that difficult time and gave me new hope.
He designed our financial & life blueprint, he guided us every day with his outlook and understanding of the financial markets. And when it comes to life needs, Doug get's it. He understands what my son and I needed to do to stay on track.
Now, I am retired and living the best life possible. For many years and even decades, Doug has been there for us.
Now, with LifeByDesign360, I know he'll help as many people as possible based on the planning, coaching and advisory that people need to get through a career change, build a business, make sure their financial future is set up correctly and live the best life.
Heidi H.
I met Doug through a referral and was not laid-off. However, what I do know is my wife and I have worked with him for more than 18 years and he is the real deal when it comes to guidance and planning. I met him several years before retiring. When my company decided to lay me off, I knew of Doug's specialization in the "from laid-off to retirement ASAP" idea.
We got together, went over everything and today, I'm happily retired with my wife, enjoying life!
Paul and Marci S.
Doug and I have been working together for more than 10 year ever since I was laid off from Hallmark. I met him through Lee Hecht Harrison.
He has helped guide my life in so many ways for so long. He has become more than an advisor, I consider him a very good friend.
