The DGW Lens
Reflections on work, life, and the decisions that shape us
Whether I'm writing about divorce coaching, organizational strategy, communication, leadership, or technology, one theme remains constant: clarity matters.
The DGW Lens is where I share practical insights, thoughtful observations, and lessons learned from helping individuals and organizations navigate complex situations with greater confidence and intention.
When Everything Feels Urgent: Making Decisions During Difficult Family Transitions
During a difficult family transition, everything can feel urgent.
The email that just arrived. The text you want to answer. The question your attorney asked. The disagreement about the children. The upcoming mediation or court date. The decision you didn't expect to be making at all.
Whether you're navigating divorce, a custody dispute, co-parenting conflict, or another significant change in your family, it can begin to feel as though everything is important—and everything requires an answer right now.
When that happens, it becomes harder to distinguish between what actually needs your attention and what simply has your attention.
And that's not necessarily the best place from which to make an important decision.
Why I Became a Certified Divorce Coach®
Some of the most important decisions we make come at times when we feel least equipped to make them.
Divorce can be one of those times.
It isn't simply a legal process. It can affect nearly every part of a person's life—family, finances, home, relationships, routines, and plans for the future. And when children, custody concerns, or high conflict are involved, even seemingly small decisions can feel enormously consequential.
