It’s time to join the elite and manage your career proactively.
Leaders that don’t burn out are more effective.
At Dr. Oliver Degnan & Team, we are on a mission to solve what we believe is the biggest problem of leadership failure. Lack of strategic clarity and system thinking, too many commitments at once, and inadequate team management lead to poor relationships with customers, supervisors, and executive peers.
Most people leave their careers to the sheer luck of being found by an employer. It’s a gamble and a waiting game for most. We focus our efforts on purposeful and strategic career management to achieve the exact outcome desired without jeopardizing health and happiness along the way.
Our Commitment: By 2028, we will have inspired 100 million people worldwide to enjoy a better life and career experience.
What We Value
At Dr. Oliver Degnan & Team, we strive for purpose and meaning in everything we do with our time on this planet. We are all about LAP—Learn, Achieve, and Purpose.
Life is a marathon that nobody has to embark on alone. Team up!
We LEARN
Life is a journey of learning. Learning new skills is a gift that shapes our worldview and perceptions of people and things around us every day. We are committed to a life of new knowledge along the way to helping others follow us in our footsteps boldly and without fear of failure.
We ACHIEVE
Personal and professional achievement is the essence of living a fulfilled life. It is the foundation of being able to give back to others along the way of our success. Achievement is a value-based outcome and is carefully planned and executed. We recognize that achievements are personal and must provide a meaningful experience in order to be of high value.
We have PURPOSE
We don’t live our lives from eight to five. Only purpose of what we decide to do will yield the benefits of a successful and sustainable outcome. Without purpose, life is meaningless and empty. So, we find purpose in everything we plan on doing. Purpose is the prerequisite for others to follow us and allow us to lead them to greater meaning and happiness.
