Stalwart Performance is a premier executive coaching and leadership development company founded by Donovan Manley, a retired infantry officer and paratrooper, with a mission to empower executives and business owners to achieve new heights of success while maintaining a harmonious work-life balance.
We believe that leaders who are empowered to thrive can inspire their teams to reach their full potential, creating a ripple effect of positive change throughout organizations and communities.
Donovan's journey, marked by the physical and mental challenges of military service, instilled a profound understanding of the importance of ongoing personal development, balance, and resilience. Transitioning to the corporate world, he noticed a lack of emphasis on leaders' growth and well-being. Donovan recognized the pressing need for personalized development programs tailored to executives' unique challenges and circumstances.
Driven by his passion for helping others, Donovan established Stalwart Performance, focused on holistically addressing physical and mental health, job performance, leadership effectiveness, and resilience to empower our clients to unlock their boundless potential.
Our coaching approach combines Donovan’s three decades of military and corporate leadership expertise with extensive training and coaching certifications. We use evidence-based coaching and leadership development techniques to empower executives to achieve optimal performance, resilience, and balance in all areas of their lives.
We envision a world where leaders are equipped with the tools and strategies to foster their success and well-being and that of their teams, leading to optimal performance. Leaders empowered to thrive can inspire their teams to reach their full potential, creating a ripple effect of positive change throughout organizations and communities.
So how do we empower you to achieve optimal performance, resilience, and balance in all areas of your life?
Using a unique combination of Leadership, Life, and Personal Development Coaching tools, we’ll identify what’s really holding you back, then develop strategies to take the strengths that have already made you a successful executive and apply them to all areas of personal performance.
The bottom line is that you get 30 years of leadership and coaching experience dedicated to helping you be at your best to excel in Life, Leadership, and the Pursuit of Happiness.
Optimal Performance lies at the intersection of your Mindset, Behaviors, and Capability. All three are equally important, but we can't effectively focus on all of them simultaneously.
Knowing what area to focus on for the greatest impact - and when to shift the main effort - is the difference between frustration and progress.
Stalwart Performance has the expertise to coach you in all three areas - and the experience to tailor your program to exactly what you need at the right time.
Build mental models that help you get crystal clear on what's really important and help you overcome any obstacles to reaching your true goals.
Develop the habits, routines, and decision-making tools that get you the greatest results in the shortest time while reducing stress and overwhelm.
