Our Clients
By interacting regularly with other successful CEOs in a transparent and open relationship, I not only learn, but also feel the challenge, respect, and connectedness that you would hope for in a strong peer group.
Dan asked the hard questions while guiding me to rediscover my strengths and passion, as I worked to better meet challenges and improve my leadership ability.
I found Dan to be a great listener who provided constructive feedback at the same time. Though I have 25 years of career experiences, I had never tried coaching before. Dan offered a refreshing perspective on how to make the most of it. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending him to anyone who, like me, might be wondering if they need a coach. The experience was invaluable to me.
Dan was engaging, a great listener, and extremely thought provoking as our strategy coach & facilitator. I highly recommend Dan.

Second, executives invest different amounts in their leaders – from zero to millions. Third, companies all have a different strategy and approach to developing leaders. More importantly, companies have had difficulty creating lasting impact from their investment, frustrating owners and executive teams.
So, what is an owner or CEO to do with information like this?
The Secret of Change
Life is curious isn’t it? I use to think waiting for something to come back in style, whether in clothing or management theory would simply take 10 – 15 years. Now I run across this quote by Socrates, talking about change and adapting and the new normal. In case you are wondering, Socrates lived from 470 BC to 399 BC.
This is a message that I’d like my customers to grasp – the secret is not fighting the old, but building the new.
They’ve already had a wild ride adapting to the many changes coming at us because of the Black Swan events, but now we have to start thinking about and preparing for the realities of the new normal. More importantly, how do they accelerate the rebound and growth curve?
