Donna Oard
Next Best Act

Congratulations on your promotion. Impostor syndrome served on the side, free of charge.

You were the best at doing the work. Now your job is to get other people to do it. Nobody handed you the playbook. Let's build one.

"Bet on the jockey, not the horse."

The real problem

You're not failing. You're in the wrong game.

The skills that made you the go-to person are not the skills that make you a great leader. And nobody told you that when they handed you the title.

Sound familiar?
  • You got promoted and now you're terrified someone will find out you don't know what you're doing
  • You're working harder than ever and still feel like you're falling behind
  • You're the first in your family to get here and there's no one to call when it gets hard
  • You keep adding "but I got lucky" at the end of every win

You're not an imposter. You're a jockey on a new horse. Let's get you in the saddle.

About Donna

I came in the back door too.

I dropped out of college. Raised two boys alone. Moved to Virginia at 40 and rebuilt from scratch. Built an award-winning food truck company serving all of Virginia, 300+ employees. Flipped houses. Built three businesses. Became a coach at 55, not because it was the plan, but because it was the calling.

I'm not the authority. I'm the proof of concept.
