“I often find it challenging to find consultants with a practical approach to leadership and operational excellence. When we engaged Dale, it was a game-changer. His ability to take complex concepts from the nuclear navy and make them actionable for the chemical and oil and gas industries was remarkable. He delivered a compelling presentation that transformed a daunting task into something seamless. The CEO and executive team of a Fortune 500 company were so impressed that they requested an exclusive audience with him. His personable and engaging manner, combined with his insightful and inspiring content, quickly uncovered ways improve any organization. We were blown away by how impactful the process became with his guidance.”
