People are talking about Daniel’s Programs. For nearly two decades his interactive, hands-on programs have taken him around the country and outside the U.S. in Canada and South Africa.  You will know you just hosted a great event because each participant receives a program feedback sheet. Feedback is sent in a report to the host organization. You will know what your participants learned and how they plan on using the skills shared at the event. These programs are not another lecture.  Programs are designed to be hands-on, with plenty of experiential learning. Students are encouraged to participate at their own level of comfort and start a discussion or ask questions at any time.  You will find this format unique and beneficial.
