Dan Lake has explored good leadership on five continents. His interest in clarity, culture, and communication began when he was a bungy jump instructor and tour guide. A career highlight is the months he spent living in India teaching English to Tibetan monks. His favorite question is, “How can I help you succeed?” As a manager and coach in one of the world's largest not-for-profit organizations, he capitalized on multi-national opportunities to help emerging leaders lift and shift their leadership potential. As a founder and director, Dan turns possibilities and options into meaningful work, systems, and friendships with a lasting global impact. Dan is a trusted advisor, speaker, and mentor. He has extensive experience with emerging leaders and senior management teams covering operations, training, coaching, and development. Some of those leaders serve organizations such as the US State Department, Tesla, Google, and Apple. Dan holds a master's degree in leadership, where he focused his thesis work on the Millennial generation.
