About Doug Babcock

Doug spent 32 years as a first responder, police officer, EMT, firefighter, and campus safety director, answering calls where the information was incomplete, the clock was running, and people were counting on him to get it right.

​

He didn't study crisis leadership. He lived inside it, call after call, week after week, for three decades.

​

What he brings to leaders is not a framework borrowed from a business school case study, but judgment built under real pressure, with real consequences. You will learn to make the hard call fast, communicate clearly when everyone's watching, and hold your people together instead of watching them burn out or walk away. Your team doesn't just survive the next crisis. They come out of it more trusted, more resilient, and ready for the one after that.

Doug is an ICF Associate Certified Coach and founder of Counterparts Coaching and Consulting. Grounded in Gestalt principles and the power of asking the right question at the right moment.
