I'M DANNY
...and I believe in the transformative power of disruption.
Change is essential and inevitable, it is also disruptive. In times of change we have two choices - strategize or react.
Get in touch to explore ways I can support you and your organization in thriving through even the most difficult organizational changes.
SERVICES
Below are select offerings of what I can bring to you and your organization
DISRUPTION TO RESILIENCE
Keynote • Workshop
The path forward...never back.
Before earning my Fellowship, before becoming published, and before appearing in USA Today, Huffington Post, and various other international outlets, I was a high school dropout.
Disruption often interferes with our original plans. Often returning initial feelings of disappointment, shame and maybe guilt. With a shift in mindset and intentional practice however, what might initially appear to be a pain point can become your biggest asset in Leadership.
Now with my Master's and research in Organizational Behavior and Learning, and as a certified Change Management Practitioner and Trainer, I can support people and organizations with strategic plans to translate disruption to opportunity.
MANAGING YOUR CHANGE
Workshop
Organizational Change is Collective Individual Change
Change can be difficult. Yet on the journey, we learn the critical skills of resilience, grit, and perspective.
With guidance from Prosci and Kubler-Ross, we consult the past while ideating about the future. We trade reaction for strategic resiliency, reducing time to implementation up to 50% (Prosci, 2020).
Yesterday will never be tomorrow... Instead of focusing all your efforts on returning to "what was," I guide participants ideate on "what can be," focusing on the needs of today and getting creative about solutions for tomorrow.
