I help business and sports leaders unlock their full potential, build stronger teams, and elevate performance using proven coaching techniques, the Energy Leadership™ Index Assessment, and Everything DiSC® personality insights.
Hey, I’m Derek Vitatoe, The HR Jock. I know the pressure leaders face in business and sports, where the stakes are high, and the expectations are even higher. That’s why I’ve made it my mission to help leaders like you perform and lead at your best when it matters most.
As a high-performance coach, my approach goes beyond traditional coaching—I equip leaders, teams, and athletes with the mindset and tools to perform at their peak. In addition to individual and team coaching, I integrate two transformative assessments: the Energy Leadership™ Index (ELI) and Everything DiSC®.
The ELI reveals how your energy and mindset influence your leadership style, decision-making, and overall effectiveness. Everything DiSC® enhances communication and collaboration by helping you understand yourself and your team on a deeper level. Together, these tools provide unparalleled insight into your strengths, blind spots, and growth opportunities.
Whether you're leading a company, managing a high-performing team, or competing on the field, we’ll break through barriers, elevate your leadership, and ensure you’re prepared for any challenge ahead. My goal is to help you not just perform, but dominate in your space, with confidence and clarity.
