Master Certified Life Coach, Executive Coach, Performance Coach, Career Coach, College Admissions Consultant, Media Trainer and Corporate Team Building & Leadership Facilitator
Duke Greenhill is a master-certified life coach specializing in creative professionals, executives and students. Before being called to become a coach, Duke was an Academy-Award nominated filmmaker and multi-award-winning media writer-producer-director, a widely-sought after creative marketing, advertising and branding executive, and a media advisor to congressional candidates, governors, and two U.S. presidential election campaigns. He is a widely-published writer and speaker, and strategic communications university professor. His thought-leadership and work is cited in over 500,000 trade magazines, and academic and professional journals.
APPROACH
Using a proprietary approach he calls "Architecture of the Soul" — a blend of proven techniques from psychology, neuroscience, business, personal branding, professional athletics, spiritual philosophies, narrative strategies (The Hero's Journey) and the science of emotional intelligence — Duke guides each client toward unearthing who they really are, what they really want, and how to achieve it. Ignite your inner core to fuel a life and career driven by your strengths, your passions and your purpose. Duke shows you how to be the agent of your own growth and change so that you can build and live your best life.
Coaching is not therapy. Duke works with you to remove obstacles, accept weaknesses and uncover strengths, turn values and beliefs into actions, and turn actions into a plan to leverage your strengths and follow your bliss. When we follow our bliss, we are always our most effective, content and successful selves.

"Duke believed in me when I had very little faith in anything—especially myself. He changed the way I thought about my future and what I deserved out of it. He taught me to have passion with a plan and encouraged me to make decisions based on what I love rather than what I’m afraid of. I credit Duke for making me realize that I’m capable—and worthy—of great things."
