Coaching and Consulting Experience

Coaching Philosophy

Effective leadership doesn’t happen by accident. While select leadership qualities come more naturally to some, great leaders are made through a combination of challenging work and life experiences, grit, and a desire to achieve big things—both from within and beyond themselves. Dan specializes in developing leaders and leadership teams through a rigorous assessment and development process that challenges even seasoned leaders and teams to achieve more. He appreciates that the costs of leadership failure can be considerable; and conversely, successful leadership can inspire transformational changes with rippling effects extending well beyond organizations and their employees.
