Don is a former Golden Gloves boxing champion who has combined the lessons he learned in 70 boxing matches with a degree in engineering and 13 years of Fortune 100 sales and leadership experience. Along the way he learned that important changes in how we think and act come not from what we know but how we know it. He offers unique insight on what it takes to win against tough competition, adapt to change, and stay committed when it gets hard.
Don knew he had an idea for a training program that would become a powerful tool for management and include everything from teambuilding and organizational alignment, to sales and customer relations. Today, business leaders are supercharging their success by training themselves and their people to say it right. Again, not just with their mouths, but with their whole being: mind, body, and soul.
Don delivers quick, lasting results using accelerated training methods, including experiential and whole brain learning. Even better, Don's focus gives people more than just a feel-good presentation. People come away with real skills for true, lasting success.
His toolbox includes techniques and models developed from the study of neurolinguistics, organizational dynamics, engineering, systems theory, educational kinesiology, hypnosis, and yoga.
