Scott Kinder
Founder, DOL Coach | Author | Execution-Driven Project Leadership
I don’t teach project management. I fix execution.
Here’s the Reality: Most people aren’t failing because they’re dumb. They’re failing because they: Don’t prioritize the right work. Don’t communicate clearly. Don’t understand risk. Don’t actually execute
They hide behind tools. They chase certifications. They stay busy instead of being effective.
That ends here.
I started my career as a Green Beret in the U.S. Army. High stakes. No room for excuses. Execution mattered.
After that, I moved into government and corporate leadership roles, including: GS-13 Special Activities Program Manager, and Executive leadership roles in a global project management organization.
Different environments. Same problem. Smart teams… poor execution.
Too many projects. No alignment. No accountability.
So I built something better.
DOL stands for De Oppresso Liber: “To Free the Oppressed.”
Most professionals today are stuck. Not because they lack opportunity…
But because they’re buried in: Bad priorities. Constant noise. Ineffective systems.
DOL Coach exists to cut through that.
No fluff. No theory for theory’s sake. Just systems that drive results.
What I Actually Do:
I help people and organizations close the gap between where they are and where they should be.
Here’s how:
1. Certification That Actually Means Something
Through our partnership with the Center for Project Innovation, I deliver project management certification based on capability, not memorization.
No exams. No cramming. No pretending you know what you don’t. You demonstrate skill. You get certified.
Levels include:
Certified Project Officer (CPO)
Certified Project Professional (CPP)
Certified Project Master (CPM)
Certified Project Director (CPD
And yes… they’re lifetime certifications.
2. Deep Dives That Solve Real Problems
Most training tries to cover everything and fixes nothing.
My Deep Dives go straight at the issues killing your performance:
Risk Management (T-SCORE + ROCO)
Change Management (COSTS)
Project Leadership
Communication
Stakeholder Engagement
Productivity & Execution (RSPE)
These are not lectures. You will apply the frameworks. Or you won’t waste your time.
3. Workshops & Advisory
I work directly with organizations to:
Turn strategy into executable plans
Eliminate wasted effort
Build real accountability
Improve delivery across teams
No slides for the sake of slides. Everything is built to drive outcomes.
4. Coaching That Builds Systems
Most coaching is conversation. Mine is implementation.
I build: Clear priorities. Real schedules (not wish lists). Execution systems you actually follow. (Because insight without action is useless.)
What Makes This Different:
I don’t care how much you know. I care what you can deliver.
That means:
No memorization just to pass a test
No overcomplicated frameworks
No hiding behind software
If it doesn’t help you execute, it’s gone.
Author & Builder:
I’m the author of several books: including No BS Project Management, A Green Beret’s Guide To Starting a Business, and MTT: Military Transition Tips.
I’ve also built practical frameworks used across my training:
T-SCORE: Risk that actually gets routed and handled
COSTS of Change: Understanding real organizational impact
RSPE: A system for getting things done
These aren’t academic. They’re built from real-world experience where failure costs something.
Who This Is For
This is for people who are done with:
Spinning their wheels
Sitting through useless training
Managing tasks instead of driving outcomes
If you want theory, go somewhere else. If you want to execute… You’re in the right place.
Proof Over Promises
I’ve trained and certified 55,000+ professionals
Delivered programs globally across industries
Built leaders at every level, from entry to executive
Not by talking about it. By making people do it.
Pick Your Path
You’ve got three options:
Keep doing what you’re doing: Stay busy. Stay overwhelmed. Stay stuck.
Try to figure it out on your own: Burn time. Make mistakes. Eventually get there.
Get the systems and start executing now: Your call.
