DJ Dolan

Founder and Principal

Hi, I am DJ-

Professionally

I am a High-Performance + Leadership Coach, Social Impact Entrepreneur, Mindfulness Teacher, Mental Performance Director for veterans and first responders, former collegiate and professional athlete, former state & federal special operations member- Tactical Team & Violent Fugitive Detective.

Personally

I am the co-captain of “Team Dolan” with my wife and teammate Jenn, dad to my little teammates Savannah (4.5) Jack (3.5,) and Charlie (1.) I am also a best friend, novice comedian, fierce competitor, servant leader, lover of life, & fanatical present moment advocate (if not here then where?) Also, despiser of complaining and victim mindsets (although compassionate toward those enslaved by them and committed to helping liberate them from these unhelpful thought patterns)

Spiritually

I am free. Free from old constraints (self-imposed limiting beliefs.) I understand that we are “beings” having a human experience. I am now willing to be with ALL that this extraordinary life experience has to offer. I am not free from (and will never be free of) struggle, I now simply understand that it is part of the journey, and when it is in the service of moving toward our values, there are important lessons in it.

“Our journey will present us with people and circumstances to reveal to us where we are not yet free.”

My Training

• MS in Positive Psychology (Study of the mind relative to individual and collective human potential.)

• ICF Trained Performance + Leadership Coach (PCC Certification pending.)

• Professional certificates in:

  -Appreciative Inquiry (Change Management) Facilitation

  -Science of Happiness Facilitation

  -Neuroscience (we are walking nervous systems, yet most of us were not given an operations manual.)

  -Resilience (how to consistently and positively navigate adversity.)

  -Performance Psychology (Mental Performance skills.)

  -Teacher certification in Mindfulness Meditation (Specialize in mindful value-based ACTION.)

• I am currently working toward a Doctorate in Positive Psychology

  My Experience

  I have competed at the collegiate and professional level as an athlete, led and performed optimally in over a thousand high-stakes special operations missions, currently own and operate multiple businesses, serve as a leadership instructor to collegiate and professional athletes and corporations, and, most importantly serve as a co-captain of “Team Dolan.”

• I made the challenging life decision to step off my known and comfortable path and retire early from special operations within government service. I took a leap of faith, driven by my values, and bet it all on myself and my teams. I now focus on building and serving businesses whose mission serves human flourishing. I believe that entrepreneurship is the surest way to create lasting change in our world and that working with and helping leaders & teams discover their full potential is the fasted way to create widespread ripples of positive impact.

  Now I have the freedom to do what I love, and I love who I get to do it with. I focus my time only on that which brings me the most value and meaning: leading and soaking up moments with my family, building and growing business with higher purposes with great people, enjoying the path of a life-long learner, holistic health, self-mastery, AND helping leaders and high performers do the same.

  Let’s work together and change the world: starting with our own.
