Insightful • Carefully Crafted Work • Heart and Genius
“Dan is a highly insightful and powerful change agent. Have used Dan with great success, many times, with small groups (~5) and large (divisions) on issues that range from getting the best from functional teams, to interventions in the most disfunctional environments. His work is carefully crafted to fit the specific need of a situation and not at all canned. His approach has heart and genius. I carry the "Performance Dimensions for Emerging Leaders" document Dan developed for our organization in my folio and reflect on it often prior to coaching others.”

He is awesome to work with, quickly grasps the culture and behavioral attributes in the organization and he is able to fully integrate and connect his material to the aspects of the culture and behavior you want strengthened or diminished. He is a change agent and can and does extend challenging questions to conversations that skirt the hard issues. Additionally, Dan is a great coach, is empathic yet able to hold you accountable. If you're looking for leadership development, a change agent, coach or OD consulting work Dan is the person to call.”
