Leadership Intake & Self-Assessment

This brief assessment helps us understand where you are today, what matters most to you, and how coaching can best support your growth. There are no right or wrong answers.

What Do You Want to Change?

Pick what resonates — and see exactly how coaching moves you forward. Think of me as your partner in getting there.

Calmness

Trade stress and burnout for steady focus — with mindfulness and cognitive reframing that actually stick.

  • Are stress and burnout starting to cost you?
  • Are you overworking but under-producing?
  • Do you feel overwhelmed and unable to switch off?

Coaching or Therapy?

They're different tools for different moments. Here's a simple way to tell which one fits where you are right now.

Therapy may be the better fit if you're…

  • Healing from trauma or a painful past
  • Struggling with anxiety or depression
  • Working through deeper emotional challenges
  • Looking to feel like yourself again
You're here

Coaching is the right fit if you're…

  • Functioning well, but ready for more
  • Growing your career or your business
  • Stepping up as a stronger leader
  • Facing a major life or career decision
  • Wanting a partner to keep you accountable

As both a licensed psychologist and a credentialed coach, I can help you pinpoint which is right for where you are — and we'll only move forward with coaching once it's clearly the best call for you.

The Self-Leadership Transformation Framework

A proven three-step process that gets you unstuck, clarifies your direction, and builds the mindset and habits to perform at your best.

01

Observe

We get clear on where you are and where you want to be — your goals, your strengths, and what's really standing in the way.

02

Assess

We map your internal operating system and surface the core beliefs, assumptions, and blind spots holding you back.

03

Address

We replace the habits, self-doubt, and old stories in your way — with mindfulness, cognitive reframing, and visualization — so you lead with confidence, focus, and follow-through.

What Changes When We Work Together

You're not buying a method — you're buying a different way of showing up. Here's the shift most clients feel.

Before

  • Overwhelmed and stretched too thin
  • Unsure of your next move
  • Stuck, despite working harder than ever
  • Second-guessing your decisions
  • Plateaued and running on empty

After

  • Confident in the decisions you make
  • Clear on your priorities and next steps
  • Calm and steady under pressure
  • Moving toward a direction that fits you
  • Leading with a presence people respond to

Douglas Uhlig, Ph.D., MBA

A rare mix of Wall Street, boardroom, and psychology — in one coach

Douglas Uhlig, Ph.D. — Business & Life Coach

I bring together two worlds that rarely meet: high-stakes business and human psychology. With a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology and an MBA from NYU, plus decades in banking, leadership, and the military, I help you understand not just what to change, but why the old patterns took hold — and how to replace them for good.

Business & Life Coach

I coach professionals through workplace challenges, job insecurity, burnout, and stress. A rare combination of a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology and an MBA in Marketing & Finance from NYU gives me an insider's read on both the business and the human side of leadership.

International Experience

I bring hard-won global perspective from my years living and working in Tokyo, where I held positions at Fuji Bank and the Industrial Bank of Japan. Proficient in Japanese and Chinese, I coach leaders navigating cross-border business with confidence.

Wall Street & Corporate Leadership

With extensive Human Resources experience at JP Morgan Chase, Citibank, and Bank of New York, I've placed leadership talent for major corporations — and worked alongside hedge funds and financial firms in high-stakes environments.

Military Leadership

A retired Lt. Colonel in the Air Force, I served for 29 years — training over thirty reservists a year in team building and leadership, and cultivating the discipline, strategy, and focus that mission-critical work demands.

What It's Like to Work With Me

Real words from professionals and leaders who were stuck — and what changed.

Working with Doug helped me recognize the habits that were keeping me stuck. The mindfulness techniques gave me a practical way to stay focused during a major career transition, and I now approach leadership with much more confidence and clarity.
