“Dan is a engaging speaker and his communication skills led to a high level of success and satisfaction. His exceptional presentation inspired our regional school systems to take steps to work “Upstream” to overcome barriers to fix the systems that cause problems. After speaking at our annual Summer Leadership Conference, educational leaders left with a renewed enthusiasm for the commitment to work “Upstream”. This important work shifts our focus from reacting to problems, putting out fires, and dealing with emergencies, to focusing our attention and energy to preventing them. Dan’s keynote and work will have a great impact towards the success of the 100,000+ students in our region.” –Dr. Stephanie Gordy, Executive Director, Griffin RESA
