"Dan is a master storyteller and coach. He refined my personal leadership message into a powerful story that resonated with my clients and made clear the stand I was taking for them. Before I worked with Dan my messaging was unclear and informational. He gave me the tools to leverage stories that can build other people's connection to my cause.”
-Christian Anibarro (Director, Organizational Design at Intentional Futures)
