Designed and produced the interactive component of the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI), and facilitated the global health track. CGI regularly brings the top 1,000 leaders in a wide range of government and private sector activities to brainstorm and commit to actions in addressing major world problems.

You are an extremely talented facilitator. It’s hard for me to see how we could have pulled off the working sessions without the benefit of your skills. At least as important is my sense that you bring to your work a real passion for the issues that you effectively highlight. I have always believed that such dedication makes a meaningful difference in the way people open themselves up to new challenges and opportunities.

– Chris Jennings, Director of the Global Health Track, Hillary Clinton’s 2008 Presidential Campaign Health-Care Advisor

Designed and facilitated Donna Karan’s Urban Zen Initiative, a 10-day program that brought together hundreds of health-care professionals to examine alternative approaches for making fundamental change in health care paradigms.

Thank you so much for my Urban Zen’s panel participation. Your facilitation was superb, and I felt entirely safe under your guidance, and was, in fact, able to do my very best because of it.

Facilitated a two-year collaboration between the American Public Health Association and two schools of public health to design strategies for integrating human health, animal health, and environmental health professionals in addressing public health and food security issues at global, national, and community levels.

Conducted organizational assessment and facilitated organizational change for the training unit of Booz Allen Hamilton, which involved a major restructuring and culture change initiative. Within a year, this unit was rated as the #1 training unit in the country by Training Magazine.

Facilitated the visioning and planning for the successful introduction of high speed rail (Acela) into the NE corridor of the country for Amtrak.

Conducted strategic planning with a variety of colleges and universities including: University of Maryland, Michigan State University, University of Wisconsin, and Colorado College.

When I first became Dean of the College of Veterinary Medicine at Michigan State University, I had Daniel work with me to go in and actually talk to the entire college, individually and in groups, to share with him what they hoped I, as the new dean, would do.

He then helped design and plan a whole strategy of visioning so we had the full college involved, all actively engaged. It was the first time it’s ever been done in that college, and it was enormously successful. We were able to work with what the faculty and staff hoped would come out of my leadership role, rather than me coming in and dictating to them. It was enormously successful – they still talk about it. It set the pathway for the next ten years of activities in that college.
