"I was lucky enough to recently participate in Dan's SAL program. Dan is a creative, thoughtful, and engaging facilitator and has designed a robust program that I'd highly recommend. My time in each session was spent exploring different corners of my leadership style and taking a deeper look at my career journey. Dan was a great steward for our cohort throughout the program."
