"It is with great pleasure that I recommend Dan for any endeavor he wishes to pursue. I worked with Dan at FirstLight Home Care where he was my Regional Business and Territory Development Manager and Supervisor at our corporate level. Dan is a proven leader and assisted the FirstLight Home Care team at both the corporate and local levels to advance, change, and adapt to local marketplace and geographical consumer demands. Dan provided strategies and training techniques to Franchise Owners, Marketing Directors, and helped to integrate FirstLight Home Care into local markets. With the ever changing landscape of Home Care and Home Health Care services in a very demanding and often saturated market, Dan had to help transform and initiate change at the local level for this smaller company to succeed and compete in the much larger marketplace. Dan, as an individual, is a caring, compassionate person and professional, motivated to succeed, positive, encouraging, and teaches the importance of relationship building and networking via all avenues. He is well versed in organization, documentation, and is a great mentor. Dan has extensive knowledge in sales, marketing, consulting, coaching, and change transformation. He provides constructive criticism in a kind and effective way, coaches by example, and offers valuable suggestions and solutions for change and transformation as needed. He is a team player, encourages and coaches, everyone in being successful and being their own personal best. I am proud to say that Dan has become a good friend over the years and that I look forward to working with him on projects in the future."

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Dan on a large IFS ERP project. When I reached out to a previous colleague asking for recommendations for a Change Leadership Advisor for my project; he didn’t hesitate to recommend Dan.
From the onset of our first conversation, I found Dan to be engaging, attentive and very approachable. During our time together, he exhibited strong listening and observational skills that he then applied to coach the leaders through the extensive transition that was ahead; always quick to listen to concerns and make himself available to address any challenge.
Dan’s deep well of experience, along with his varied background, allow him to effectively communicate at all levels of the organization. I would recommend him to any leaders that are navigating and leading change."

"Dan Roberts is an amazing leader, change management guru, and human. I had the pleasure of working for him for two years, during which we were focused on readiness, adoption, and sustainment of Agile at Wells Fargo.
Dan is the epitome of a servant leader and coach. In his role as my manager, I felt heard, supported, and appreciated. He always asked, “How can I help?” I trusted Dan fully and felt certain that he always had my back.
From a change management/leadership perspective, Dan has extensive experience/expertise and is able to balance the strategy and vision setting of a transformational change with the tactics of how work gets done and how people may respond to the change. His efforts to build relationships and create a change network resulted in not only better business outcomes, but also a place where colleagues felt safe to show up, to share, and to learn and develop. Additionally, Dan is one of the most tenacious and dedicated people I know. Despite working on ambiguous tasks and in a challenging environment, he continually and constantly sought to make things clearer and better.
Finally, Dan is an extraordinary human. He is kind, empathetic, and seeks to help and be there for others. It was truly a pleasure to work with him.

"I have had the pleasure of working with Dan for the past couple of years.
From the day I started, Dan reached out, made me feel very welcomed, and became a great partner in the transformation we were both playing a lead role in.
First and foremost Dan is engaging, kind and thoughtful. Alongside those great interpersonal skills, Dan is a thought leader in the Change Management field. He gets it. Change happens all around us, and we so often focus on getting the change done, without giving thought to the actual mechanisms of change. This is where Dan excels. He is a leader in enabling organizations to lay out and then manage through the change, gaining insight and support from senior leaders and through their teams.
He understands the impact, the need for ongoing communication (not one and done), the people side, and looks to deliver clear, and effective, change communications throughout.

"I am a Business Manager and manage teams of nuclear professionals, which is a very high-stress position. I encountered Dan Roberts from a recommendation of a trusted peer, as I was discussing the challenge I was having of finding the balance between being an effective Leader and still ensuring that I was also giving time to my own needs; emotionally, physically and mentally. Dan has a very grounded style of Coaching and it worked well for me. Dan doesn’t TELL you what to do instead he engages you with discussion and guidance that leads you to creatively go where you thought you had no reserves left to go! Dan helped me to gain tools to improve my emotional intelligence, which has helped me immensely to have a better relationship with my teams, be more effective at motivating them and bringing my own stress levels down. Dan clearly has a plethora of knowledge and experience in lifting executives to a higher level of creative thinking and stress management. I would absolutely recommend Dan Roberts as a highly capable and intuitive Coach/Advisor."
