Our Services

Quick Sync

We partner with executives, leadership teams, and organizations to close the capability gaps that limit growth and erode value. Our work spans individual coaching to enterprise-wide transformation, always anchored in what's already working and built to outlast the engagement.

Executive Coaching - Strengths-based coaching for leaders who want clarity, confidence, and measurable impact.

Team Development - Alignment and facilitation for leadership teams that need to operate as one unit.

Leadership Development - Programs that upskill managers with the mindset, skills, and systems to develop talent and cascade strategy.

Leadership Infrastructure - Talent systems and processes that let your business scale without chaos.

Exit Readiness - For founders preparing to scale or sell, we build the leadership depth that protects enterprise value.

Tired of development initiatives that fade within weeks? We build infrastructure that sustains what training starts. The result: measurable improvement in retention, engagement, and performance.

Our Approach

Signing Contract

We believe leadership development fails when it's disconnected from business reality. Motivation fades. Insights get lost. And six months later, you're back where you started.

That's why our approach is different. We don't just develop leaders - we build leadership infrastructure: the systems, capabilities, and practices that sustain performance long after the engagement ends.

As a Gallup Certified Strengths Coach, Chris anchors all development work in what's already working. We start with your natural talents, not your deficits. Then we build a customized roadmap that aligns your strengths to the outcomes that matter most - for you, your team, and your business.

The goal isn't just professional growth. It's sustainable success: results at work and the energy to be present for the rest of your life.

Our Clients

Professionals

We partner with leaders and organizations at inflection points - where the right leadership infrastructure makes the difference between stagnation and sustainable growth.

Executives & Senior Leaders

You're navigating complexity.

Whether you're stepping into a new role, leading through change, or preparing for the next level, you need a thinking partner who understands business context, not just leadership theory. Our executive coaching is built for leaders who want results, not just reflection.

Leadership Teams

You're capable of more.

Your team has the talent but something's blocking the results. Silos, misalignment, trust gaps, competing priorities. We facilitate the reset that gets your leadership team operating as one unit with shared accountability and strategic clarity.

Organizations

You're building to scale.

Growth is exciting until it starts breaking things. Your managers need development. Your systems need structure. Your culture needs infrastructure that scales. We build the leadership capability and talent systems that let you grow without chaos.

Founders & Business Owners

You're thinking about what's next.

Whether exit is 12 months away or 5 years out, you know the business depends too much on you and that's a problem. We help founders build the leadership depth and documented systems that protect enterprise value and give you options.

What Our Clients Say

"We contacted Chris of Holistic Leadership Solutions regarding a desire to equip our staff team with conflict resolution skills needed to adjust to a change in our operating model at the Ann Arbor YMCA. The two-day conflict resolution training Chris led was an absolute game-changer for our staff in handling real conflict scenarios that occur at our Y as both employees operating on the frontlines and as supervisors within our organization. Chris’s engaging approach and practical strategies empowered our team with the tools to navigate difficult conversations with confidence and empathy.

Chris led our team through interactive exercises and insightful discussions, while fostering a learning environment that was both supportive and engaging. Our staff walked away feeling equipped to de-escalate conflicts, strengthen relationships, and foster a more positive workplace culture. Not to mention the feedback we received about the training was significantly more positive than the training opportunities we've provided our staff in the past. 

I highly recommend Chris Dotson and Holistic Leadership Solutions to any organization looking for someone to help improve organization culture, help leaders develop and grow their professional skills and to equip organizations with skills and tools that will be sustained for years to come. This training was invaluable for our team!"
