There is nothing that motivates me more than learning about my clients and their businesses and then helping them discover their full potential. And then helping them “make it happen“.

Sometimes the best insights come from looking at things from a new perspective. Donald has the talent and the experience to help leaders find creative and valuable solutions. As the world gets more crowded, personal leadership and action by example demands authenticity and integrity as a personal brand. Donald is unique in providing the right balance of support and insight to get tangible results. Working with him is staying on track to succeed. I have successfully worked with Donald over many years in Canada, US, Hong Kong and London
Richard Wheat
Founder Owner & Director, MRM
I was a classic company man in a good job which whilst very comfortable really wasn’t testing me. That was until I met Donald who changed the way I saw my working life and wider career. He really believed in me and harnessed an entrepreneurial spirit that I never knew was there. I’ve since gone on to own an award-winning PR agency while also investing in other successful ventures. I no longer see work like I used to and indeed feel the advice, counsel and support Donald gave me changed my life for the better. Donald’s a one-off and without him I’d have never made the jump into business ownership and self-empowerment.

Donald Mackenzie is an extraordinary business builder who realized that no matter how financially successful one might be, retirement is boring, and turned his laser-sharp advice and insights towards the work I do. Donald and I have shared endless hours of academic and practical business and wealth transition conversations, and he was a willing and much needed sounding board while I wrote this book.

Donald’s business expertise and experience have been instrumental in helping me move my business forward and achieve results beyond what I had expected, and all in just under a year. His commitment to my success and the success of my business are more than impressive, you would think he was one of the owners himself. He is honest and direct and always has a focus on my success first and foremost.
