As a long-time corporate communications director and mountain-climbing expedition leader, Dan Kaplan has led his share of difficult and important conversations, motivated people in scary situations, gave difficult feedback in a way that was well-received and listened to people’s needs -- all while leading teams to business and real mountaintops. None of this, he says, is as difficult as communicating with his three teenagers and aging parents. Dan started the Confident Communicator because he believes that anything is possible if we can just learn to talk to each other. His assessments, workshops, and coaching help leaders and teams speak openly, respectfully, and persuasively, when it matters.
I’ve been through countless trainings, and Dan makes the material come alive. His programs have had a huge impact on our organization. Our leadership team, VPs, and Directors have all rated him highly and we are seeing real improvements in the way our staff communicates.”
Working with Dan has been both beneficial and enjoyable for our team. He has led us through several workshops to improve communication and trust in such a way that has provided an almost immediate positive impact. I highly recommend Dan’s services; he’ll make your team better and provide an outstanding experience for everyone involved.
I took Dan’s class with my former employer and have to say it affected not only my professional, but also my personal relationships. It really helped me transform a lot of conversations that had been stuck.
