Meet Don Olund
Don Olund is a licensed clinical professional counselor and board certified executive relationship coach specializing in communication, power dynamics, and conflict resolution among high-performing individuals and couples.
He works with executives, entrepreneurs, and professionals who have achieved success in their careers but find themselves feeling stuck, disconnected, or misaligned in their personal lives and marriages.
Don understands the unique tension of leading in two critical domains—work and home.
High-achieving individuals are often skilled at execution, decision-making, and leadership, yet still find themselves repeating unproductive patterns in their closest relationships. They want to be understood, to communicate more effectively, and to create stronger, more meaningful connections—but often lack the space, structure, and tools to do so.
Don’s work is built around helping clients navigate that complexity with clarity and intention.
For more than a decade, Don has led a successful counseling practice, working with thousands of individuals and couples and building a team that has served over 5,000 clients. His approach combines clinical insight with practical strategy, creating a process that is both deeply human and highly effective.
In recent years, Don has expanded his work into the executive coaching space, developing LifeWork Executive Couples™—a specialized offering designed for high-functioning couples who want their life and marriage to match their success.
His work is grounded in a simple belief:
Success should not come at the expense of connection, identity, or meaning.
Through LifeWork, Don helps couples move beyond surface-level functioning and build lives and partnerships they are proud of—both personally and professionally.
Success Shouldn’t Cost You Yourself—or Each Other
Many high-performing couples are doing well by every external measure, yet privately feel disconnected, depleted, or misaligned.
Your calendar is full.
Your responsibilities are heavy.
Your marriage works—but may feel more functional than fulfilling.
LifeWork Executive Couples™ was created for couples who recognize that professional success alone is not the same as a well-designed life.
Who This Is For
LifeWork Executive Couples™ is designed for married couples who:
- Hold executive, leadership, or founder-level roles
- Are high-functioning but privately dissatisfied
- Feel stretched thin, disconnected, or emotionally fatigued
- Value growth, intentionality, and discretion
- Want their marriage to be a source of strength—not another obligation
You don’t need to be in crisis.
You simply need the awareness that something more is possible.
Who This Is Not For
This program is not a fit if you are:
- Seeking crisis counseling or relationship repair
- Navigating active infidelity, addiction, or unmanaged mental health concerns
- Looking for short-term advice or quick fixes
- Unwilling to examine personal identity, boundaries, or patterns
LifeWork Executive Couples™ is for couples ready to engage thoughtfully, honestly, and intentionally.
