Dan is the quintessential next-generation management and talent development expert solving today’s critical multi-generational workplace issues. Today, millennials represent 40% of the workforce and will grow to 75% by 2025. Millennials and Gen Z (“Digitial Natives”) will continue to change the way we run our business and sell our products and services.

Dan helps companies bridge the gap between managers and their millennial workforce and create winning “next gen” workplaces to increase employee relationship-based skills, engagement, productivity and profits.
