Testimonials
Our team invited Dain to present on Modern Leadership at our Smooth Fusion Innovation Summit. His presentation inspired our team to commit to growing in how we lead and manage. Dain’s practical and directly applicable material garnered excellent feedback from our team. As a result, we placed three members of our executive team in coaching with Rev Ø.
Dain makes the art of leadership tangible and easy to adopt in practice. His balanced style demonstrates his knowledge base with a human touch - he is a unique engineer!
Dain uses his own experience to deliver critical information for all levels of leadership by presenting practical tools, specific questions to ask, goals to consider, and references for further learning.
Dain’s presentations are always engaging and focused on practical takeaways. His talk on 1:1 Meetings was particularly insightful, and I’m already putting his advice into action.
