"Dan Coughlin took time to understand our needs and challenges through interviews and discussion prior to the meeting, then tailored his talk on accelerating leadership to us in a very engaging manner and gave us approaches that we could readily put to use to improve our leadership skills. He received the most positive and highest remarks on our feedback survey for relevance and engagement. One attendee said, 'I have already used the information that was provided to us by the Keynote speaker to accelerate the leadership of a new issue to help us move the business forward.' Thanks again for your excellent talk at our Global Regulatory Conference."
- Cecilia Kimberlin, Ph.D., Abbott Laboratories, Vice President, Medical Products Group, Quality, Regulatory, & Compliance
"Dan, thanks again for delivering the keynote to open our recent national Jiffy Lube franchisee meeting. I was impressed with both the friendly casual tone and knowledgeable informed perspective that you demonstrated in your speech. I was also pleased with the practical impact of your key messages. The feedback that I have received from the Jiffy Lube franchisees and our own JLI staff has been unanimously positive. I have heard quite a few "experts" and "leadership guru" types present at franchisee conventions before, but this was the most helpful and motivational content I have seen in that setting. Thanks again for creating such a nice start to the meeting. Your address really set the tone for the entire conference and I look forward to working with you again in the future."
- Rick Altizer, President, Jiffy Lube International
"Health care is a changing industry. To remain the leading hospital in our community, we need nimble managers ready to make the next move to enhance patient care and increase volumes. We invited Dan Coughlin to our annual board and leadership retreat to jump start the process. Dan’s message was a hit with the entire audience, from our front-line managers to board members, many of which are business and community leaders. Dan’s practical and easy to grasp message provided great take-home tools to accelerate their ability to lead. We are now incorporating those tools in our day-to-day management."

"As an executive I am always trying to improve results, whether it is business results or personal results. I would strongly suggest the use of a personal coach. I began working with Dan Coughlin in early 2000 and have found his guidance and perspective to be invaluable. He is trustworthy, credible, motivating and results oriented. Dan takes an individual approach with me that causes me to behave differently and be more productive."

"Dan, on behalf of the entire Toyota Financial Services Team, I'd like to personally thank you for your keynote presentation at this year's National Sales Conference. You left an outstanding impression on everyone you worked with at TFS. Your passion, follow-up and attention to detail are tremendous and helped to make this year's sales conference a success. In fact, in the feedback survey from the conference attendees, we received excellent remarks on your efforts. Thank you again for your personal commitment to accelerating TFS to even greater levels of success! Oh yes, driven by the enthusiasm generated from the sales conference, we had the best all-time month in sales of both finance and insurance products! It was great and you helped 'accelerate' us to get there!"
- Dave Pelliccioni, Toyota Financial Services, Group Vice-President, Sales and Marketing
"It has been a few weeks since our Sales and Revenue Leaders meeting. As I ve been speaking with members of my team around the region, I ve heard them say things like, I tried my new influence skills based on the buyers personality type, and I used the agenda Dan showed us for my last meeting and I had great results. I thought I would share this with you because the sign of a great class is when people put the learnings into action. Your scores from our training survey were fabulous 5 s across the board. I don t think I have ever seen such consistent scores with outstanding comments."
- Nancy McHenry, Marriott International, Regional Vice-President, Sales and Marketing
"As Education Chair of the Ozarks Chapter of YPO I used Dan for one of my first events. Dan created a program that was meant for both our members and their spouses. This event turned out to be very well attended and I received exceptional feedback on how much everyone got out of the evening. Even though we have members from very different industries, everyone could relate to the presentation and many adopted practices from it that they will use in running their businesses and their lives. I know that sales of Dan's book "Accelerate" went up since quite a few members bought books for their entire company."
- Mark Brown, YPO, Education Chair
"Dan had nearly perfect scores on content and delivery for his seminar "Accelerate Your Impact as a Key Executive" for both my Key Group and one of my CEO groups. Let me add that this is a highly interactive program with multiple one on one and group breakouts. As a chair I felt that it really brought the members closer together. My members' only regret was that we did not have more time with Dan. Book him soon. He's a winner."
- Allen Hauge, Vistage, Group Chair

"Dan Coughlin's ability to combine leadership concepts with direct and actionable applications to everyday workplace situations kept the audience engaged and riveted throughout his presentation. His dynamic and energetic speaking style struck such a positive chord with the group that time literally flew by. The consistent question after his visit was, 'When can he return and can he stay longer next time?'."
