Fredericksburg, VA – July 14, 2026 – Flatter, Inc. today recognized Danny Doucette, ACC, Flatter’s Coaching Program Manager, for being featured as the author of an International Coaching Federation blog article, “From Air Force Sergeant to Coach: A Veteran’s Journey,” published June 10, 2026. The article shares Danny’s path from a 27-year United States Air Force career to professional coaching, underscoring the value of disciplined leadership development, credentialing, and continued service beyond the uniform.
In the article, Danny describes how his experience as a First Sergeant and later as Commandant of the United States Air Force Sergeants Academy shaped his commitment to developing leaders.

His feature on the ICF Blog reflects the credibility, care, and professional standards he brings to Flatter’s coaching community and to the leaders served through Flatter’s workforce development programs.
“We’re proud to see Danny’s contribution to the ICF as it reflects his personal journey of service and the quality he brings to Flatter’s coaching programs every day,” said Brittany Chiang, CEO at Flatter.
For Flatter and its federal customers, coaching supports more than individual professional growth. It strengthens leadership capacity, workforce readiness, resilience, and the human skills needed to execute complex public-sector missions with trust, accountability, and purpose.
