Courageous, collaborative, humble leadership.
Coaching for Male Leaders
We each have an important role to play in building a more thriving and inclusive culture.
Many business leaders care deeply about building cultures of belonging but may feel unclear about how to personally engage in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts. I support leaders as they journey inward to become more confident and courageous partners in DEI work. Together, we can create workplace cultures where every team member can thrive and contribute fully.
Domination-based cultures dehumanize all of us. When we step up together, we can create meaningful change.
Domination-based cultures are zero-sum game competitions that oppress some groups and dehumanize all of us. These cultures are rooted in fear and a subsequent drive to gain status and power over others. Our opportunity is to see more clearly the roles we've been socialized to play in upholding these cultures and to discover and explore the roles we can now choose to play in dismantling them. Together, we can invest in equitable, partnership-based cultures.*

What Clients Are Saying
“We recently brought Dan in to run story workshops with 1,500 leaders in our organization. Prior to the workshops, Dan coached five of our C-level executives to share their stories from the stage. We really enjoyed working with Dan; he did a great job with our executives, was easy to work with, and the audience enjoyed his presentation.”
-HR Leader and event organizer
“Dan was tremendously helpful to me as I wrestled with significant leadership dilemmas. He listened, helped me to reflect, and caused me to move forward in a more constructive and non-defensive manner. I felt both validated by Dan and also challenged by him. We talked about serious matters but not in an overburdened way. I would highly recommend Dan as a coach who partners with you when you may need it the most.”
— Neal
“Let me start by saying that I am very choosy about who I hire as a coach. I will also say that I am so happy I hired Dan. His heart and soul commitment to me as a client felt wonderful, and his ability to reflect the important details of our conversations proved very useful. It has been a great experience working with Dan. And, I would endorse him to be a valuable member of anybody’s Jedi Council.”
