About

As an entrepreneur with over 30 years of experience building and growing renowned brands like Coors, Crocs, and Toys R Us, I’ve experienced the dynamic journey of scaling companies through both the highs and lows. My passion lies in helping CEOs and their leadership teams transform both their people and their businesses.

Drawing from award-winning methodologies such as Scaling Up, the Rockefeller Habits, and the 5 Dysfunctions of a Team, I coach organizations to align their leadership teams, improve accountability, and create high-performing cultures. My focus goes beyond profitability—it's about helping businesses achieve meaningful growth by coaching leadership teams to reach new heights. Together, we drive growth that’s not just measured in dollars but in impact, culture, and longevity.

By integrating the right strategies with a people-first approach, I guide organizations to scale effectively, ensuring the right people are in the right seats and fully aligned with the company’s vision.

Let’s transform your business from the inside out, fostering a culture of accountability, excellence, and long-term success.

  • "Jeff far exceeded my expectations! He was able to align our leadership team very quickly and effectively. Beyond addressing the immediate challenges we faced, he also was able to identify and illuminate the underlying issues at their core, paving the way for lasting solutions."

    Kristopher Knight, CFO

  • "Jeff's session flipped my orientation to work 180 degrees in two days. I was feeling overwhelmed and stuck on some challenges in my business and quickly losing energy for the job. Two days later, I'm full of enthusiasm for what's possible and thrilled to be aligned with my colleagues."

    Troy Lerner, CEO

  • "Our CEO brought Scaling Up as an option to give our business a flexible framework we could implement to help identify what should be done to increase the value of our company. I know of these methods and was a bit unsure this was the path forward. Enter Jeff Donaldson. I’ll call him our coach rather than a facilitator. The culture fit of coach to company is one of the most important details to get right. Jeff is relatable, has impressive business savvy, challenges in the perfect dose and keeps a productive discussion going like no other. "

Scale the business. Enjoy the climb.

Many growth-company leaders reach a point where they dread adding another customer, employee, or location. It feels like they are just adding more weight to an ever-heavy anchor they are dragging up the hill. To make matters worse, the increased revenues haven’t turned into more profitability, so at some point, they wonder if the journey of scaling up is worth the effort.

Running a business is ultimately about freedom. The Scaling Up system shows owners of scaleups how to achieve it, no matter how big and complicated a business becomes.

Free your time to focus on the market-facing activities necessary to grow your business while getting everyone aligned to execute your plan.

Imagine loving your work again.
