Where are you headed?
Where are you now?
What’s in the way?

The people I work with...

They accomplish more than almost everyone around them, yet still feel behind.

They overperform, overdeliver, and overthink, and call it being responsible.

They seem to hold it together, while quietly wondering when it’ll all fall apart.

They rarely celebrate; the next thing’s already late.

They barely notice the stress, because it’s constant.

They don’t need fixing.
They’re just ready for something else.

Meet Dakota Vaughn Koontz 

For years, I built a life that looked successful, but it was unsustainable.
 

I hated myself. I thought I was broken.
 

I worked harder than anyone I knew, chasing success to prove I was worth something.
 

No matter how much I did, there was always so much more to do.
 

If I hadn’t made a change, I would’ve ended up physically broken, alone, probably dead, and still just as unhappy as I’d always been.
 

Now, I assist people with getting clear on where they’re headed, where they are, and what’s in the way.
 

Our work makes new actions available, the kind that make all the effort finally feel worth it.

Speaking engagements, keynotes, and workshops

The problems we tackle…
People aren't following through, and no one's saying why.


You're tiptoeing around the same conversations, avoiding reactions, and picking up slack.


You're leading teams that look productive but feel misaligned.


You're managing work and managing feelings.


Meetings go in circles. Expectations aren't clear. Work bottlenecks.


You're handling drama, politics, and pressure.


You're expected to be strategic, calm, direct, available, and confident.


And underneath it all: you should be further along by now.

 

That's where I come in.
I speak across the globe with housing authorities, corporate teams, coaches, and executives.


These aren't motivational talks or surface-level leadership tips.


They're built from years of leading teams, growing businesses, and working through the same problems myself.
