"Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do."
John Wooden

Our Philosophy

Our philosophy is simple: When you combine the skill of executive business coaches with the talent of leaders, the outcome is not only measurable, but remarkable. Our Strengths-First philosophy and approach encourages leaders to focus on their realized and unrealized talents and apply them in ways that create personal and organizational value. While the derailing effects of weakness can and should be minimized, leaders are much more than the sum of their deficits. The power to create transformational organizational change starts with YOU. The catalyst to ignite this change begins with US.

Our Mission

To provide "Best in Class" executive business coaching services to organizations seeking to increase its value by energizing the wealth of unrealized capacity that resides in its people.

The Founders' Inspiration

"Baker & DabollSM was named after two of the most influential people in our lives – Lillian Gran Baker and Mildred Nana Howard Daboll – our grandmothers.

We named the company after our grandmothers because we believe that the values and work ethic they both espoused are things that we aspire to follow as well as instill and coach to others. The value of listening. Demonstrating the virtues of kindness and support. The importance of focus. And the proper way to treat people; with respect, honesty, and truthfulness. It is because of their extraordinary coaching ability that we are able to guide clients successfully down the road to a prosperous and fulfilling career.”
