Doug Poll
Founder
I have built and led companies the last 25 years that have allowed me to use my talents for God’s greater purpose. My personal vision is to passionately engage others in finding God’s purpose for their lives and business.
After spending 20 years in radio and television, including leading a start up radio station in Florida for 15 years, I launched my own company called Developing People Group in 2009. The focus was coaching business executives and leaders in the for-profit and non-profit sectors in Florida and around the country. In 2015 I became a C12 Business Forum Chairman in SW Florida. I work with Christian business owners and executives and help them build great business for a greater purpose.
I’m a Certified Professional Life Coach (CPLC), a Master Strengths Coach through the Roy West Companies and also certified in the REACH Ecosystem which includes psychometric assessments like the REACH Profile, REACH 360, and the REACH Culture Survey.
I’ve been married to my teenage sweetheart Kristen since 1991. We have 4 children, 2 boys and 2 girls, and a daughter-in-law!
