Meet the Coach
My name is Dominic Carr.
I grew up in the trades by being present. My dad was a plumber, and wherever he went, I followed — handing him tools, sweeping floors, crawling under houses, and watching closely.
His intention was solid. He wanted me to learn a trade so I could always take care of myself and my family. But he was never taught how to teach.
His guidance was demonstration without translation. What could have been teaching often landed as pressure.
As my career grew — plumbing, HVAC, supervision, management — I watched the same pattern repeat everywhere: capable people promoted into leadership without the tools to develop others.
The technical skills were strong. The teaching skills were missing.
That gap — between knowing the work and growing people — is the space I’ve lived in my entire career. It’s also the gap P2L Academy™ exists to close.
My Coaching Philosophy
You can’t lead others until you can lead yourself.
Most leadership breakdowns aren’t about intent. They’re about inheritance — repeating what we were shown instead of what works.
When leaders don’t know how to teach, they compensate by pushing harder. Guidance becomes control. Control becomes disengagement.
- Pressure replaces clarity
- Compliance replaces commitment
- Micromanagement replaces trust
- Burnout replaces growth
My work is about interrupting that cycle — helping leaders build people without diminishing them.
Why P2L Academy™ Exists
Organizations promote performers and hope leadership figures itself out.
Individuals internalize the struggle and assume they’re the problem.
P2L Academy™ replaces guesswork with clarity, pressure with perspective, and burnout with confidence.
This is the path from Performer to Leader — intentionally built.
