INTELLIGENCE and INTERACTIVITY
Dan’s 30-year commercial career as a business strategist & leadership facilitator, means he can wrangle big names, personalities and politics; connect the abstract to the specific; and even tie the most tenuous of connections up in a bow - ensuring your event holds together and delivers on your theme.
If you have a high-stakes conference, with big egos on stage, it pays to have an equally large ego as host, steering your event into a safe harbour.

Let’s work together. Drop Dan a line (or two)
“His address was as witty as it was challenging, weaving humour with hard truths, and practical frameworks with stories that linger long after the laughter has faded...
... he took us through six guiding principles of leadership, but rather than delivering them as abstract theory, he wrapped each one in stories that made the ideas tangible and memorable.”
“The psychologsist and business person in me are in heaven.”
“The unlikely love child of Simon Sinek and Ricky Gervais.”
